#26709- deluxe video Message #26832
From: J. Eric Chard Forum unknown · Videophile July 15, 1986 10:53 PM
You are mistaken…..HIRES and INTERLACE are two different attributes… screen can be low-res and be interlaced, and it can be hi-res and not interlaced. Three easy steps to Video Amiga-Usage: 1. Buy Animator. (It is great.) 2. Get SETLACE 3. Run SETLACE, then boot Animator. 4. Load your animations, and…

NTSC recording Message #20392
From: J. Eric Chard Forum unknown · Audio/Video May 27, 1986 2:25 AM
The main bugaboo seems to be that people are trying to record non-interlaced signals, which will occaisionally work o.k., but is misguided. I've recorded the Amiga signal on professional 3/4" recorders, and edited it on Sony BVU-800s, and it was fine. But you have to be in interlaced mode. To…

Damn straight! Here's a vote for music support, if you can squeeze it in! Also, the following wish list: 1. Path Editor (a must!) 2. Icon showing whether you're looking at the beginning or the end of the tween. 3. Cursor coordinates 4. Depth indicator for polygons, and a guage…

It seems you are thinking of the old mandelbrot…there is a newer one with custom ML routines to speed up processing…..draws a line in about 75 seconds. Still not heavy on the copper though….

Just finished looking at some animation I created with the AEGIS package… On the grounds that no non-interlaced picture is going to record worth a damn on an NTSC professional recorder, I ran the C program "SETLACE"–availabl e from PD files–before I booted Animator. The result, recorded on a JVC…

I'd like to get a little dialog goin here about what AEGIS could do to enhance AEGIS ANIMATOR. I bought the program, and while I like the concept, the user interface could be more utile, and of course, it crashes frequently. I don't know enough to fix the crashes, but…
