Test Bench: DVS Direct Pinnacle Liquid Edition Pro Turnkey Editing System (page 2)

Liquid Edition Pro has a lot going for it. You never have to save your work and will soon forget about rendering. Edition is fast, responsive, customizable and loaded with effects. The full, no-render ATI AGP card package with the BoB is fabulous, especially if you need analog capture. If you are not comfortable installing hardware or aren't sure if your current computer even has an AGP slot, then a DVS Direct turnkey is a great way to go. A big bonus is the personal attention you'll get. Operations like DVS Direct offer personalized service that you just won't get from larger companies.
