I have a question for the sysop or anyone who feel's like jumping in. QUESTION: Why is there no Desktop Video topic in Amiga Forum? I feel (Along with many others) that the Amiga is the best personal computer (that costs less than $5000) to use with Video. In my area alone (CENTRAL/NORTH Jersey) there are many people allready using this AMAZING pc in Video. There is also plenty of software to support VIDEO on our computer. However there are a lot of problems with some of this software. For instance, I use the sculpt/animate 3d package to do some of my projects, and a friend of mine has a video titler package from Aegis that i was thinking of buying. I don't know if i will until a few of my questions are answered. Why are there two different ANIM formats? Why or when will there be a standard like the IFF pictures? There are plenty of other programs that are usefull ,like the director, to put all your pictures and ANIMs together and add some effects also, unfortunatly from what i understand the director wont support Sculpt-Animate 3d Anims. Whats going on? What, if anything is being worked out? I feel a Desktop Video area is what we need here. We will have a area to swap ideas and or tricks to get around some of this incompatiblity. It will also be a place where we can exchange script files and technique's. Talk about the HOTTEST & LATEST video hardware to hit the market. etc.. AMIGA IS TO DESKTOP VIDEO LIKE THE MAC IS TO DESKTOP PUBLISHING (At least 'till we get better publishing software!hehehe) How do you feel about a Desktop Video area? How do we go about getting one started? Is it true that Aegis ANIM differs from Sculpt ANIM? And does The Director support Sculpt ANIM's? I would like to get these and i am interested and want to know if my information was correct!
