Sure – FLINT runs on the Indigo2. It has a "big brother" known as FLAME that runs on the Onyx. FLINT is primarily a compositing tool with paint capabilities. You've seen the results ofFLAME or FLINT in many commercials, not to mention movies like Gump where you have live video…
Lee Stranahan does great seminars around the country, Video Toaster User magazine is a super source of info. You can find quite a bit of online help and advice in the NewTek section of AmigaVendor Forum (and probably soon here too). "John da Sysop" is an expert on the Toaster…

Mark, That is another project for our growing library files. I think that we should have lots of test images up in the libarary, but it will take a little while to get there. Question for everybody, If I use something like the toaster's internal color bar generator, and then…
Frank, Personally I have not used the DC1 yet. In my playing around with the Fast Movie Machine I have not noticed this flicker effect that you are experiencing. Now I know that there are folks using the DC1 succesfully here on the forum and it has been quite highly…
Ahh, Ok Bart. I wasn't aware that you wanted live peer-to-peer stuff. I haven't had the opportunity to play with any of that yet, so maybe someone else will jump in with a suggestion. -John
Ok, thanks for the information, Mike. So you do one final dub, and take one generation hit to do your audio. Do you do any other work in this dub or is its sole purpose in life to "fix" the audio? -John
I am going to try to redirect your question about remote mikes for a hi-8 camera to the audio section here and see if we get any answers. I don't have any personal experience there to help you with. I am coming at DTV from the computer side, where I…
The Flyer
Message #841
The Flyer theoretically could store 21*9*5 (21 SCSI Devices at 9GB each at 5 Minutes of Loss-less D2 quality per gig) or 945 minutes (15.75 hours) of video and audio. As hard drive prices continue to fall this may become a more realistic scenario than it is right now for…

Hi Michael! I am not too familiar with the SGI platform and specifically the FLINT application that you mention. Can you tell me a little more about what it does? Thanks in advance and welcome to the DeskTop Video Forum! -John

I have been seriously considering purchasing this product. Let me know how it goes, particularly if you have any problems. I'd also be interested in knowing the "street price" and vendors. I've seen the package you mention from B&H video for $599.00 and it seems reasonable, but I'm always looking…

Video Capture on NT
Message #824
Fremer: I was replying to a past from David Schramm, who said the Miro was MPEG. I seem to recall it being M-JPEG myself, but that was in a review a few months ago. It's possible they are doing MPEG-1, but I don't know for sure.
#Toaster Education
Message #823
S.J.: Our local LPTV station just purchased a used A2000/Toaster. Of course, no one there knows anything about using it, let alone harnessing its full potential. Could you and others contribute some ideas on how they can get educated? Since Commodore closed shop, I'm not sure what resources are still…
CD-I seems to be floundering. It almost seems as if Phillips doesn't want to support it. All of my titles are for "in-house" consumption or for limited release within the Nuclear Power industry, technical stuff. By the way I work for a Nuclear Generating Station. We use CD-I for training…

Please send me more information. For instance, what is your turn around time and how do you deliver the MPEG file? Via Internet or on disk? I have a project that requires video files for a WWW home page and I don't have time to set up my own system.…
Bill, A few years ago, there were two main contenders for desktop video editor of choice on the Mac: Premiere and VideoShop. In those days, VideoShop was owned by a firm named DiVA. Later it became the AVid product it is today. Somewhere along the line, Premiere pulled ahead in…

Premiere/VVS Video Rates
Message #812
The data rate in the edit control you see when you click Ctrl+slider was what I was referring to. That rate is not the same as the array's raw sustained thruput rating. I called it a "QuickTime data rate" for lack of a better term. As you've discovered, you just…

Oh, has Microsoft ported AVI to Mac? I know I've seen Quicktime for Windows, of course. 🙂 I really don't play favorites. If you have a better way of summarizing and judging and categorizing all the movie formats, please step forward. I left out FLI/FLC and perhaps others. I think…
You might want to read the article in the most recent issue of Videomaker (Jan. 95) which deals with the issues you raised, along with some others.
