#Alpha Negitives?
Message #118758
Trent, It was announced on the radio during the news as I was visiting relatives in Seattle. That was last Wednesday. I haven't been near a radio or TV news program in days so I don't know if it aired elsewhere. Looks like I'll have to ask DEC and Microsoft…

Jerry: Well put. Stan Happiness is only a render away…
Mike, PMFJI, Check out the Los Angeles Video Toaster Users Group. We meet once a month in North Hollywood at the North Weddington Center about two blocks from Universal/MCA. The meeting is from 12 noon to 5:30 the second Saturday of every month. We regularly feature LightWave as part of…
Thanks, Joe. Actually, I was up very late helping another gentleman get his Flyer working. Then got up early to finish the disk for the group. With a triple expresso to prop the ole eye lids open. No problem. I don't think that any question is a dumb question. I…
Tim, I was beat. So you didn't miss much. I was up late the night before helping a client with his Flyer. We finally got it working after 2 AM. Uggggghh! Glad to hear E3 was cool, I tried to make it, but I have a couple of pretty tight…
Ed, You need to re-enter the HQ 5 mode screen and hit cancel to activate it so that clips recorded with HQ 5 will playback without problems. (Hold down the R-alt, L-Alt and Tilde keys, then select HQ 5 and click continue). Flight Gear is a SW front end for…
Tim, Honestly, I couldn't have said it better. Except next time I need to get more sleep before I give a Flyer editing demo. Cheers, Stan Shumlick LA Video Toaster Users Group Flyer SIG director 2 Tall Video Productions Glendale, CA

#Flyer Installation Probl
Message #110973
Ed, PMFJI, but you're done. Record it to tape. Why do you want to record the sequence back into the Flyer? Just save it as a project, then use the project/project screen to add it into a bigger project later. To get the storyboard moving…press the tab key or click…

Message #11382
Tim, What I said is that the SGI Layout screen is fast at updating the information. The Alpha's modeler functions are just a bit faster. I was doing complex booleans as fast as I could snap my fingers. The Alpha also did some of my wireframes faster than real time.…
Steve… And LightWave is available as a Stand Alone for Windows and Win'NT for Intel, Alpha and SGI platforms. B^) Stan Happiness is just a render away…
Yep, sure does. I wish ole Pete would get off his ascii and fix some of the damn ripples in the freeway. I like amusement park rides at the amusement park! BTW, I am enjoying the H*ll out of the Fractal Images CD. I have been trying out different images…

John, What is the file name for these utilities? It might help my AP to find it if I knew the name. Stan
PMFJI, Hollywood FX is a frontend control for LightWave 3D. It allows you to do ADO-style moves using image sequences in LW. It has an easy to use interface, so even a novice can create exceptional work. I do not work for the company, I just had some chances to…

#Flyer connectors?
Message #100076
Hi all, I have a small question I hope someone can/will answer quickly. I got my Flyer yesterday evening. I RTFM, and have noticed that I still cannot find information about which connector is which on the back of the Flyer card. It would be really nice to know what…
Try the Sunrize AD516 digital audio card and Studio 16 3.0 software. You can do what you asked for, and a bit more. It's about $1000.00 U.S. from them if they still have their special going. (still was in effect at VTU's Toaster Expo on Dec.15-94.) Call Sunrize at (408)…
I agree with you, the spec only indicates what the signal needs to be in order to be considered "Broadcast Quality". I believe that term is extremely overused and says absolutely nothing about the quality of the content of the program. What type of "production values" were used or even…
I am not an attorney, and you should contact one if there is any issue as to who owns the copyright of a particular piece of work. But, a book that I have entitled "The Copyright Act of 1976" states that the copyright for artwork or photographic images belongs to…

Gary, You can get one from Sunrize with 3.01 SW for $99.00, it seems that they are blowing them out as a discontinued item. Stan All this and Rock and Roll too!
Erik, I saw it at the LA Video Toaster U.G. booth. I was there working it and some how missed making your aquaintence. BTW, would you be willing to send me a copy? I'm always interested in expanding my "LightWave good ole boy" Network. Happy Holidaze Stan Happiness is only…
#Alpha Paint
Message #179316
Brad, ROFLMAO BTW, Did you get a copy of Alpha Paint? If you did, does your tablet work with it? Now that I got it, I've been wondering about tablets. Any suggestions? Gimme a call, and we can lunch at Mambo's Cafe. Later, Stan
Erik, ROFLMAO BTW, saw your demo at the Expo. Nice work! Happy Holidaze! Stan Shumlick 2 Tall Video Happiness is only a render away…
Tom, I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful program as Alpha Paint. I picked one up at the expo, and have not stopped using it yet. It saved my bacon on a currently painful project. And I now consider my graphics in a whole new light.…

Jim, Since you're offering, how about: 1. SMPTE timecode support for editing chores? 2. How about dynamic-tracking effects like slo-mo and fast-mo? 3. Type of CD-ROM player that is NewTek recommended? As I've heard that this and future upgrades would be released on CD-ROM. 4. How about SW upgrades? What…

PMFJI, Bruce, try calling Creative Support Services or Music Bakery in L.A. . They both have reasonable pricing and fairly extensive offerings. (upddated almost daily).

#Toaster Colors?
Message #81195
John, Here's a question for you. I have two Toaster systems and would like to know if there is anyway to have them share the same setup. To clarify, Is there a file that I can copy from one machine to the other that will give my Toasters the same…
