Your system will be just fine for broadcast (and cinematic morphing). Morphs
for Babylon 5, Quantum Leap, and several movies including Tommyknockers and
Warlock 2 were done with basically what you described.
You will NOT have to reduce resolution at all coming or going to the Toaster.
In fact, you'll be able to (well, there's an upgrade of ADPro happening right
now – and I don't want to spill the beans prematurely :-).
Getting video onto tape is as easy as their are ways to do it. We use two
methods here at our company – 1) we use an laser disk recorder to record single
frames…we use FRED (which comes with MorphPlus) to assemble and edit the
finished video and to preview it before committing it to disk). 2) we use
Abekas A60 digital video tapes for our highest quality work. We have direct
Amiga support of this D1 digital video format available for use in ADPro and
MorphPlus.
