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.
