Message #5621
Jaleo is a new high end, non-linear editor from Chyron. It has a professional looking interface but, of all things, it doesn't have a character generator. Ah, marketing. Chyron is of course known for their professional CG products. I guess they think they can keep selling their old CG products…

Hi 8 Editing Solutions?
Message #5456
Hi John. I'm probably the only one who is going to suggest buying the EVO-9700. Here are two things to consider: The 9700 offers video insert editing. You won't find this feature on any consumer Hi-8 gear. I've found that this feature alone justifies going with the 9700. You'll have…

I'm curious about putting together a Windows-based editing system to do "simple" home video editing. I'd like to be able to do titling, and some small number of transition effects. My environment is VHS (C). What does it take to do something like this? I've "overheard" stuff here about the…

Watch out for the large hd … I assume you're talking about IDE. To address over 512mb you need a motherboard with Logical Block Addressing (LBA) or else you'll have to run a real mode driver from config.sys. This is an issue because Win95 can run ALL drivers in protected…

Sounds like you're heading in a solid direction. I'm not sure I'd pop for the 9700 at the start. The 7000 could be easily resold here if you decide you want more machine. But I don't think you'd need anything else when NLE comes along. I'm settling in for one…
