Hi Mark! Speaking of "Why make it harder?"… I was down at the local NBC (gonna be CBS in a year or so) affiliate, installing a 3D animation system, and they are using some "HAL" and "Quantel" Paint Boxes in their graphics department. I watched them put together some graphics…

#23 Titling software? Message #24
Walter, As I see it there are at least four ways that you can go. 1) Buying "Videonics" like stand-alone switchers, audio-mixers, and character generators. (I don't think there are any "low-end" paint-boxes. To add graphics or animation to video, I think you would have to go with another option.)…
I just bought a Sharp Videocam and am interested in acquiring hardware/software to do editing (including titling, wipes, fades, etc.). Any suggestions on the best? Should I stick with non-computer hardware or should I go with the computer. I have a 486 66 with plenty of harddisk space.
