George, Not really sure. the only IBM progs that can probably read it are Adobe Photo Shop, or I'll check my copy of Paint Shop Pro (shareware available for download). If the Toaster machine that grabbed it has Amiga Dos 2.0 or higher it can read a Double density IBM…
Hi Rich, For your anim conversions, check out MainActor v1.55. It's here in the Amiga libraries. I've converted to FLI/FLC but have been unable yet to convert to AVI although it's supposed to do it. Possibly the anim I tried was not the correct resolution. They also have a commercial…
I'm interested in looking further into Xv. Is this a program for the Amiga? Why do you need to read Mac Disks? The Mac with Dos 7.1 & up can read PC disks. Using Cross Dos on my Amiga with my Hi-density drive with PC writing ability, the Mac can…
Hi Lepido, No, actually I don't have a Mac, I've got a 2000 with the Gforce 030 at 40 Mhz, 2 meg of chip and 6 meg of fast RAM. What is XV? I want to take anims from DPaint and convert them for viewing on the Mac. Also want…

#DP 5 Drivers?
Message #46696
Hi Asha, I've been looking at DP5 and haven't purchased it because it looked to me that you need Magic Lantern to output 8-24 bit animations. You said it gives the option to use your Picasso for output? Don't suppose it offered and Opalvision output? When I finally got to…
Custom Animated Titles
Message #4686
I was wondering if there were any videographers out there who were in need of animated titles made for individual clients. I've done these for my own clients and thought that there are probably those out there who either don't have the equipment, or the time. Rick

Message #189761
Can anyone tell me where I can find Autopilot? Thanks Rick
I forgot to ask you what you shoot with your SteadiCam. How long you've been using it. What camera or cameras you use it with, etc. Rick
Hi Barbara, I do different kinds of video and graphics work. Industrial, live preformances, special events. As I pointed out I am currently pursuing the real estate area as well as live performances. I am positioning myself to take advantage of the multimedia opportunities that are comming about and is…
I was asking $200.00 obo. I'm not sure what it's worth compared to what Videonics is selling now. If you want to call me direct call 305-437-4084 or E-mail me. Otherwise just leave a reply on the thread. Thanks Rick
Hi Paul, I wouldn't call you strictly amateure. Hi-8 is one of the best acquisition sources and non-linear editing capabilities is mor than I currently have. Besides it's the results of your work which determines you professionalism, not the bigger your tools (or in some cases, the bigger your toys).…
#Direct Ed For sale
Message #2792
I have a Videonics Direct ED that I've had for some time. I used it for a while, but since I now have editing equipment and custom graphics generation capabilities, I no longer need it. I believe it can be upgraded to the Pro Ed, so it should make that…
#SteadiCam JR users!

Also I'd like to network for the purposes of information exchange, different cameras used, any…
You mean It's blank or the Picture is funky (Batteries?). My gues you mean it's blank. I've had that problem but associated with the fact that I've had it apart, and there's a wire pinching. You might first make sure the Video cable to the SteadiCam is in all the…
I am unclear about something. You said the Mac was at the end of your SCSI chain. 1)Does it terminate there? 2)Is it connected to a SCSI on your Mac, since you said the Mac is not considered a device in your hookup? Thnks for your info Rick
#Hard drive problem?

#Data switch for SCSI
Message #182936
I have heard of the Trump card, but I don't know what it is. Could you fill me in? Is it the key to your senario? Would there be a problem if both machines attempt to acces the same device simultaneously? Is the Mac treated as a device by the…

Invisible Framestore

Camcorder Dummy Battery?
Message #1946
I wonder if anyone can steer me in the right direction. I built a custom power cord for my camcorder, for the time being I removed the cells from a bad battery to make it a connector for my cord. I want to make more of these cords but can't…
Thank you for your help on these possible suppliers for the connector, unfortunately they couldn't help me with a "Consumer type" connector. I have not yet tried B&H yet, plus I have some other possibilities. I will phototgraph mine and send it to you. If this could make your feature,…

Message #45139
I fellow SteadyCam JR users. Have any of you needed to shoot continuoulsy with you SteadyCam for an hour or more but battery limits of 40 minutes prevented you from doing so. I considered using a battery belt pack but what about that cable interfereing with SteadyCam operation. I came…
The SteadyCam Power Cord (I'm trying to come up with a different name, possibly "Freedom Cord") is basically a cord that will plug into a standard battery belt pack and attaches to the SteadyCam JR handle with velcro straps and utilizes very thin wires (which allows good SteadyCam control) to…

So your saying that the DVE's are controlled by hardware (Chip) whereas the Toaster effects are mainly controlled by software ? That would mean the only way to add additional DVE's would be to but in an upgraded chip, if it's possible at all.
The DVE's on the FAST Video Machine are flawless in REAL time. I saw the system demonstrated at STS Electronics on Ft. Lauderdale. They advertize in all the video mags. They are the largest dealer in the country. They used to sell the toaster but don't anymore. They showed the…
