>>4.0 will also have the ability to do unlimited lossless D2 layered video by using the "Main Output" as input to record Flyer clips. At present, you can set the Switcher screen to DV1 or DV2 and record framestores to a Flyer video clip. You can even do a cut or dissolve to the other buffer during recording. Speed up framestore processing considerably. >> This is great news but comes as s surpise. The reason I say this is becuase early on after the Flyer announcement I asked NT about this very operation. They said that the Flyer could not play and capture video at the same time. So the compositing operation as I understood it would require output to tape and recapture for each 2 layers of composite desired. Sounds like from what you said (unless I'm reading more into it than intended) that by playing the flyer 'closed loop" I never have to take the video outside of the FLyer domain until I've finished all n layers of composite. Re: the index – I'm picky. I don't consider any of those keyword lists that have randomly appeared at the end of Toaster documents as a true index by any stretch of the imagination… As a matter of fact, thought they keep improving, I don't consider the manuals are real manuals either. More like collected crib sheets. Yeah, you guessed it, it's been a REALLY BAD week. :^{ wmc – via Autopilot!
