#Output to VHS
John:
>How does one use Studio Magic in assembly edit since they won't have their
integrated machine control module out for about 60 days or so? I need a
quick and dirty cuts only edit controller for Hi8 (RCTC) that will also allow
me to do some titling, graphics, etc. <
As for an inexpensive all-in-one solution, I'm not sure–the best integrated &
least expensive one I can think of offhand is the Fast Video Machine Lite (and
I'm not sure it does RCTC–or at least, can control it w/out some
modification). OTOH, the Video Machine Lite is also pretty "open architecture",
so when you're ready to jump to A/B rolling, it's ready for you, too.
I'd suggest a separate edit controller for now–maybe one of the Future Video
products, though it seems to me I read somewhere Gold Disk's Video Director can
also be modified to accept RCTC.
Sorry I can't be of more help,
Tim
