REVOLUTION TAPE 4 SALE??
Message #57504
How about that. Is Newtek selling 3D animations used in the revolution demo tape to recoup some of the cost? I just saw the planet earth animation in the opening of the revolution tape on broadcast tv commercial for a foreign air line. How much did newtek charge the airline…

toaster c.g. problem
Message #37248
Just finished installing toaster 2.0. Switcher effects are spactacular. The extra bells and whistles are a great addition to my editing. I'm new at this and just learning the toaster functions. Switcher was easy to get on the road. However i believe i do have a problem with the c.g.…
Absolutely, please e-mail me your phone, i will call. mu number at studio is 201 342-7098, but i would rather it be my nickel. thanks, george
Preroll is a function ussualy found on high end machines. When edit start is executed, both machines roll the tape back 3-7 seconds, ussualy 5 sec, and then roll forward to the edit point and then execute the edit. What is does is this: when a machine is in pause…
Brian, thank's for the reply. I have tried everything under the sun including all you have suggested. Nothing! It just does not recognize the drive. Faaastprep software (who ever came up with this name?) i just got from gvp with the eprom. it's version 34.28 as it's listed. The curious…
Johnathan, The faaastprep version is 34.28. I just got it from gvp. I tried formating both auto and manual. in both options a message comes up "not a dos disk". When I get past at choice, prep/format screen, i get in to the screen where i chose partition size, name,…
The problem is that I'm just trying to get my system going, everything is new. At this time the Faaastprep will not format and prep the hard drive. I get through all the screens fine, until I select proceed to format. It "mounts" the drive, attemts to copy the booting…
#GVP/CONNER HELP
Message #52449
Does anyone have experiance with the following problem. I have a Conner 120 meg AT, and GVP 68030 accelerator,A2000 rev.7. Eprom 27256 installed in to U34, IDE driver. Using the FaaastPrep software, I get to Prep/Format choice, as soon as formating starts, a message comes on "Not a DOS disk…
I decided to keep the Laird down stream from toaster as backup. I set up so that I can bypass either the toaster or the Laird and use one or the other. I don't feel I can get enough money for the Laird for what it can do for me.…
There's a couple of choices, from fairly inexpensive to expensive. Fotovix works fairly well, but it's a composite video signal. If you want s-vhs or hi-8, you will be putting 240 lines only. Ofcourse there are other far more expensive methods. Or, you can set up one of many angular…
I do have the faaastprep software, it came with the board, but i still need the eprom. george
thanks for the suggestion, i will try. george
Thank's for the reply. I did call sales at GVP. I did not know exactly what I need, the lady put me through tech support. I'm still waiting for them to call me. I don't know if I been had buing this board. It's a 50mhz dual board. I bought…
#EPROMS PROBLEM HELP
Message #51990
I bought a older version GVP exalerator combo board 68030. also a conner 120 meg hard drive. when i try to format the drive for autoboot with the GVP software, a message comes up "no eproms". Can anyone comment on what i need to do. called GVP tech support and…
Ha, you think you have problems!?. I got an Amiga 2000 6 weeks ago. The Toaster came in 2 weeks ago. Finally the drive and GVP 33Mhz accelerator arrived. Both purchased from different dealers. Now I have it all sitting here in my lap. I was not about no begin…
HELP ASAP
Message #51740
We are sitting here trying to install a Conner 120 meg drive. It appears that we are missing the ROM for the IDE drive that wasn't included with the 68030 bd. Does anyone know the correct size, I.E. 27128 or 27256k, for this combo.? I'm waiting by if possible today,…
Yes you are right. I did not think of the fact that any discrapencies in the av-5 might be blamed on the toaster. and you are also right about the little jitters and sync problems, they do exist. I am planning to try the av-5. God, finally tomorrow both Jim…
Hi Aki, I have never tested with thest equipment if in fact the outputs are truly tbc corrected out from av-5. Peter Utz who writes for AV Video magazine claims it is. I know him well and we spend many hours discussing this. I have a real tbc (Alta) and…
Mike, I don't know how 1960 or av5 will work together with amilink. I have no experiance with amilink. However the 1960 is a very good vcr in it's price range. the av5 is probobly the best f/x mixer (not a vcr) in it's range. very signal throughout. I have…
Hi Chris, I might be selling my Laird 7000Y/C c.g. real soon. I just need to get more comfortable with the toaster. If you interested, let me know. If i do decide to sell it, i will be looking around $1100. the c.g is in excellent condition. if you want…
Paul, that is what I been doing all along, insert edit. The problem is that there is so many different opinions. I am sort of a self educated editor. I shoot my own videos, 90% underwater, have my own editing equipment, ag-7500A's, tbc's, audio mixer, fx switcher, time code, Laird…
Now I remember. No, it's not Dan, but my guy also promised my toaster and the rest of stuff tommorow. Well, if I don't get mine, and your guy doesn't get you your stuff, we can put them in one bag with some fish heads and throw tham over board…
Hi Wayne, I'm not sure of your response. I'm not killing anyone. Please explain. george
No, No Bart, some one has missunerstood my question. I'm not sure how to take your reply, if it's hostile. I know time coding is not necessary for assembley editing. What I was asking is the following: I read an article that for single frame recording, it is better to…
Casey, the basic toaster work station is just the whip and a donkey. It will get you where you going, but it will take about a week. I investigated this situation before going in to it with two feet, and this is what i learned. Who has a week to…
Pete, I'm using ag-7500A's and my final tbc in to which I will be feeding the toaster output is an Alta Cygnus 5.5 which is not a bad tbc. I'm hoping for the best. will let you guys know which setup gives a cleaner final output. Right now I'm planning…

Hi Guys, I know exactly what you mean by starting with the best possible signal no matter what the end product winds up to be. Most of my work is underwater. I think you can understand why I'm hasitant taking a betacam whenever I don't have to. The reason is…
VIDEO TO SLIDES
Message #16154
Does any body know if there is technology to transfer s-vhs video still to 35mm slides or transparancies with quality accaptable for 4 color printing reproductions. I need to produce a slip case for video tapes, but am short on slides. I would like to get a repoduction from a…
Thank's Bart, I know to time code and black tape for insert editing and single frame. i misunderstood that it should also be time coded for assembly editing. i did not see the need for that. george
#TIME CODE HELP
Message #49646
I just read an article on time coding and blacking blank video tapes prior to recording. Is there an advantage to this. Til now I have been only packing blank tapes prior to use, and then time coding prior to editing. can any one help with opinions? george
Lighten up guy, I did not attack the toaster. I made a comment with the amiga 2000. ports for game controllers are fine in front, but for video especialy if mounted in a rack, i have wires running in front of my video monitors. all i said is that amiga/commodore…
Well, $6000 does not go very far these days. An editing house facility might want to transfer you hi8mm to another format. if it's something like s-vhs, there will be a substantial generation loss. if they bump up to beta, 3/4sp or 1 in, then the cost might be too…
From what you are describing, I don't think it's the flying erase head problem. What I think you are experiancing is frame error. Meaning that when you edit segments, you either have more than one frame per edit, or you have an error in frame lock. A tbc will not…
#AMIGA BOYS VS. MEN HA,HA
Message #35452
This is just for laughs, but it's not a joke. When i first looked at an amiga, my first out cry was, You must be kidding!! "ON THE FUNNY SIDE" by George Safirowski The long awaited moment came. This morning a brand spanking new Amiga 2000 was delivered to my…
Lee, are you telling me that the toaster 2.0 upgrade is shipping? How soon in your opinion I could get my hands on the new upgrade. My dealer tells me "any day", but that's been the word for some time. You see, I had to replace some heads on my…
thank's for the offer. note in my message that i did finally recieve the tape. it is impressive. thanks again, george
I had a curious experiance with getting the demo tape from newtek. About a month + ago I called the 800# for a demo. I was told it would be shipped immediately. Well four weeks later I called again. Nice voice asked me if I'm calling regarding the demo. This…

Message #35143
While I'm waiting for a trial run on the toaster new 2.0 upgrade, I need to learn all I can. Can anyone help? Is it possible to record singel frame as needed for the toaster animation on my ag-7500, or must I spring for an ag7750? any help is appreciated.…
#HOW LONG FOR A TOASTER?
Message #35048
Well guys, today to my major surprise after waiting for over a month I received the Revolution toaster demo. I'M SOLD. After hasitating for a long time, and picking your brains, I have decided to put one in my studio. Would you guys help with some final questions: Going with…
I have no problem with video monitors, I have plenty with 8 pin, composite and y/c inputs, with pulse cross, underscan and selectible lines. The multisinc I would be using only between an IBM (boy is that a no no here), and the toaster menu screen. george
Not at all, just after the holidays, the price dropped. An A2000HD is selling for under 1200, that's from a dealer. george
I'm very much interested. keep in mind that a new a2000hd is 1200.00 prices have dropped dramatically recently. how about $700 and it's a deal. george
I might be interested. I'm waiting for my toaster and I will use a multisinc to use for both the amiga and vga. What are the physical dimentions of the monitor. Width accross the whole frame, hight from desk to top (i will not be using the swivel stand), and…
