Quality Home Video
Message #2644
Matthew, your premise is incorrect: >>I have concluded that it would take too much money ($20,000 for FAST Video Machine or equiv. plus $10,000 for a new computer with big fast drives) to do this with non-linear editing.>> Have I got some great news for you! I have a FAST…
Ken, Thaks for your response. If you have a listing or know how I can reach this company, I would appreciate it. Hopefully it is software that will work on my Targa+ 64. The Matrox looks interesting, but I would have to purchase their board, an expensive redundancy. Patrick
Matrox Personal Producer
Message #38007
Does anyone know anything about the Matrox Personal Producer software for their Illuminator-16 card? A desktop video brochure I received indicates that this software will assemble and edit video, audio, graphics, titles, digital video effects and transitions under a MM Windows interface. Is this the toaster for the PC (limited…
SONY 9850
Message #30490
Daniel, I noticed that you have a Sony 9850 with Diaquest controller. I just obtained a Sony 9850, and can't figure out how to lay time code to tape. I've followed the Diaquest manual and the 3DS suggestion to use the blackburst signal for video in, but when I press…

True Vision/Magni
Message #28941
Franklin, I purchased my Magni Pro from NW Tech Systems in Bellevue, Wa. (206) 641-3282 for $1795 plus tax and shipping. I've seen it listed in Videomaker Mag for $1695 from B&H Photo-Video (800) 221-5662. I'm located in Olympia, Wa., and there are no local service bureaus that I have…
Craig: Thanks for your comments. It may be a matter of "appearance". Let me explain my problem this way. When a flc plays on my computer screen, it looks many times better than the way it looks when I recorded it in real time to tape and then play the…
Kevin, I'm trying to get the same quality of what I see on my monitor to show up when I play a tape made with aniplay.exe on my vcr/television. Is this the *QUALITY* increase I will get with either the Mediator or VideoVGA16 w/flicker filter? I think the 256 color…
Kevin, Good to hear from you. If you saw the beginning of the thread, I'm not satisfied with the quality of the resolution I am getting from my VideoVGA in real time recording of flcs generated from both A Pro and 3dS2. Would the Mediator or the upgrade to the…
Sherwood, Thanks for the information. Where can I get the videologic mediator? Is K Krell a good source for the kind of equipment you mentioned (betacam sp, diaquest controller, etc)? I may take this a step at a time and try the mediator first. Would the mediator replace my VideoVGA…
#ATVISTA NTSC RES
Message #26381
Sherwood, I have Ani Pro and 3DS2, and record animations in real time to either Hi8 or SVHS using the Truevision VideoVGA card (1mg). I noticed your recent reference to your atvista cards with a high ntsc res. Would adding an atvista card to my system enhance the res of…
David, Thanks for the update. I am located in Olympia, WA. About 7 months ago my wife and I commenced the "Big Mosey" from Houston, TX to relocate to our favorite vacation area. Seattle traffic reminded us too much of Houston, so we settled about an hour south of Seattle.…
David, I have an Austin Computer, 486/33 with a Wytek math coprocessor. I also have a Truevision 1mg VideoVGA card along with my PAS 16 sound card. I create .FLCs at the 640 x 480 resolution, and record them on my vcr at the standared 30 fps. In addition to…
David, The PAS drivers are in my subdirectory PROAUDIO which was created when I installed the PAS software. The subdirectory is in my Path statement. I assume that you know how to prepare and play Ani Pro Script files. See page 8-2 and following in the Tutorial, and the Player…
#Ani Pro & Pro Audio Spec
Message #24725
David, I am going to start a new tread on this subject since others may be interested. I too started out with the 8 bit PAS, and have upgraded to PAS 16. I was able to link Ani Pro flcs with the old card and can link them with the…
animator pro speed
Message #24224
Steve, Regarding your question whether Ani Pro will support midi and wav files, I use the ProAudio Spectrum 16 sound card to link Ani Pro flcs with both midi and wav files. I have both narration and background music linked to flcs as they play through a script. Generally, it…
