Mike, You can call 800/441-4403, ext 362. Or, if you tell me your zip code (that's how our database is indexed), I'll ask our circulation manager to look you up and make sure you're in the system. Sorry for whatever's wrong–you should have gotten something by now! Let me know……
Lee, Thanks for the invite but I'll be at NAB! Hartford's a ways for me, but maybe sometime…
David, I don't know if your order got lost in the mail or what…but we don't have you on file. Sorry! You certainly can order again, starting with issue 2 if you like. You can mail the check ($59.95) to Planet Studio at PO Box 802, Peterborough, NH 03458. Add…
Yes, Michael, you can get airmail delivery for $79.95 per year. If you'd like more info, see the posting in the Take 5 library (use the keyword "planet"). –Barbara
Ok, Lee. -Barbara
Danny, We checked the files–you're scheduled to receive one. But we won't be able to ship them till we get them from Xaos–still another couple of weeks or more. But you *will* get it! –Barbara
Mei-Tien, We are actually still waiting for Xaos Tools to deliver the CD. (It's their Fresco product.) Apparently it's taken them longer to produce than they thought… Sorry, but it will be a bit of a wait. We'll send it to you (and the other subscribers) just as soon as…

Hi John, I have not heard anything specific concerning your article, but have gotten good comments overall on the issue. Maybe you have to wait a couple years… Anyway, Jonas and I liked it 🙂

Yeah, I have Lee…and I have *not* forgotten you! I'll be in touch via e-mail shortly. –BG
In the Take 5 libraries you can find a file called PLNTST.TXT that gives an update of the newsletter and a list of articles published in the most recent issue (Jan/Feb). (The next issue will be out in a couple weeks.) The library file should answer at least some of…
Brendan, If you call 800/441-4403 and ask for ext. 362, Debbie will be glad to help you with a subscription. For written info in the meantime, check out the PLNTST.TXT file in the Take 5 libraries; it covers just about everything! Thanks for your interest. Let me know if you…
Hi Kevin, A couple of weeks ago, I uploaded an updated description of the newsletter, including a contents listing for the most recent issue, to the Take 5 library. It's called PLNTST.TXT. That should tell you everything you want to know and them some. If you know you want to…
Hi Dennis, I just posted a description of Planet Studio–which includes a contents listing for the current issue–in the Take5 section. File name is PLNTSTD.txt. Briefly, though, it's a bimonthly, full-color newsletter dedicated to Autodesk multimedia–with great writers like Ed! Let me know if I can answer any questions… –Barbara…
Thanks, Michele. There'll be a greater emphasis on tutorials like that for the next issue. Rest assured I'll be pushing to increase the page count. But there are no plans to increase it immediately. –Barbara
Hi Dave, Thanks for the time you've put into letting us know what you want. Your points are well taken. Be assured that we'll be considering them when planning future issues. You're right, it does "take some time to get into the groove" when trying to target the editorial. You're…
Hi Aaron, Sorry so slow to respond… The best way to sign up for Planet Studio is to call 1-800-441-4403 during Eastern Standard Time business hours. It's no problem to get a copy of the freebie sample issue–just tell Debbie (that's who you'll talk to!) that you want it. Thanks…
Hello Dave, Ouch! I had to read your message twice before I realized that you were happy with 12/16 of the content! 😉 And really, that pleases me, because this is only the first "real" issue of the newsletter (Bill Allen told me it took him several issues to "get…
John, Sorry I took so long to respond… The "real" issues of Planet Studio WILL be more susbtantive than the sample SIGGRAPH copy. For one thing, they'll have twice the number of pages (and still no advertising). We realize that it's quite a bit more expensive than 3D Artist, but…

Hi Bob, I've been away for a while but I noticed your last note to Brian concerning Planet Studio. I haven't talked with him since then–what was your suggestion concerning a disk? (I can't retrieve that message!) Thanks! –Barbara Gefvert Editor, Planet Studio
Dave, Thanks, I can use all the luck I can get! And yeah, I know people won't hold back 😉 Barbara
Kyle, Connie's info was right–and there's also a toll-free number for ordering: 800/441-4403 (ext. 362). Thanks for your vote of confidence, BTW. We are bound and determined to make the newsletter useful to its readers. Thanks! –Barbara Gefvert Editor, Planet Studio
I am very interested to read these comments about the sample issue of Planet Studio. Believe me, we want to make this newsletter into what YOU want it to be, so please don't hold back! The goal with the introductory sample was to present info on a spectrum of topics…

$$ for Amiga video tips
Message #35921
Amiga Video Producers! AmigaWorld wants to put together an article of Really Cool Amiga Video Tips–and we need your help. Hey, you could earn a few bucks! Have you discovered some unusual process that could be helpful to other Amiga videographers? Maybe some undocumented feature of Amiga videographics software or…

What do you want to see in AmigaWorld's Animation and Video issue? That's the focus of the next issue we need to plan, and we'd like to have your suggestions for our upcoming meeting. Please send me your thoughts!
James, Unless its a very recent development,Haites has not disconintued X-Specs. They have had production problems, though… –Barbara
Laurie, I'll pass your comment along…that's a good point. –Barbara
Laurie, I'm glad to hear you say that! I couldn't agree more. In fact, that was the reason behind the "Attention Amiga Artists" spot we've run in recent issues. We got good response from it, and you should be seeing more Amiga artwork in the magazine. The reason we use…
Charles, We've actually got an article going into the July issue on stereo 3-D. Daniel Wolf's (MegageM's) glasses are mentioned in the issue, although we only found out about them the day before the issue went out the door… (apparently we were out of the word-of-mouth loop he was relying…
OK, Carl. Thanks. That sounds like a really good idea. –Barbara
Don, Thanks for your ideas. I see what you mean, and I think they're good ones. I misled you if I made you think we would devote the whole issue to hardware, but any ideas we don't use this issue will come up again when we plan future ones. As…
Hmmm… After flipping through the last couple of issues and not finding the Domino ad, I walked over to our sales dept. (all on the phone!). Do you remember who advertised it? As far as sleuthing the European market, yeah, we do a little bit of that, but we have…
Ben, I read about your OpalVision plans a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward 'to it! –Barbara
I'll see if our Master of the Nets Tim Walsh has heard… Thanks! — BBarbara
Good idea, Ron. That's something I don't think we've ever really covered. Thanks –Barbara
yeah—thanks, Paul. We covered monitors in the June issue, but haven't tackled the Bernoulli 150 yet. –Barbara.
Ron, Thank you–consider your consideration considered!! –Barbara
Scott, Thanks. I agree–cross-platform compatibility will only become more import ant. –Barbara
Tom, Watch for Emplant in the August issue. I don't know exactly how much we'll do on the A4000/030 because the processor speed is the only difference , besides price, from the 040 version–at least to my knowledge. Giving AGA capabilities to earlier machines is probably the biggest issue in…
Mel, I'm going to have to give Supra a holler. They talked about an accelerator quite some time ago, and I followed up with them for a while, but I haven't heard from them in aeons. The A500 is still a really important model in my estimation–so many of us…
Thanks a bunch for your helpful comments. (Please feel free to send your thoughts, complaints, compliments etc. concerning AW _anytime_!) Rest assured, just becasue the AGA machines are here, we won't be ignoring the older Amigas with regard to any of this stuff. –Barbara
Watch for a thorough Emplant review in the August issue. Utilities Unlim. FINALLY got us a board! –Barbara
Charlie, Please see the June issue for monitors and display modes coverage, and for a roundup of scanners. We've got PC and Mac emulation covered in the July and August issues (neither is out quite yet). We'll definitely add your other suggestions to our list… and we can't wait to…
Don, Can you give me a better idea of what you mean? It sounds like a great idea, but I'm not sure how to implement it–given all the different "whats" out there–and make it both broad-based and helpful enough. But maybe I'm not on the right track here…. –Barbara
Robert, Good angle… –Barbara
Bruno, I dunno…we'll check 'em out! Thanx. –Barbara
Hi Richard, If all goes according to plan, a roundup of A1200 products will appear in our the Sept. issue. Some of the stuff that's been announced is not out quite yet, but we're pretty sure we can OQ pull it off for that issue (Sept. actually ships to subscribers…
