A little disappointing after all this time to see that they still have lame
software that crashed several times while I was checking it out; that while
digitizing it dispayed in a green monochrome (will fix this); that until
Commodore released SCSI II controller, the high quality modes are theoretical;
that the editing software is rough cuts only. There were SO MANY GREAT
non-linear editing products at NAB giving full 60 field/sec. video with
excellant quality being touted (and delivering) broadcastable video for TV
news, etc. I think my favorite for the money was the Digital F/X Hitchcock,
about $7000 + Quadra + gig drive. Not cheap, but not bad for what you get as
far as overall production capabilities and quality. VERY nice user interface,
digital FX, titling, etc. Even AVID had a $10,000 system, though the good stuff
(with 16 channels of CD quality audio and full video) is $45,000. Anyway, I've
been rooting for the Editmaster for a long time, but they are getting run over.
Hope they, or someone, gets this together on the Amiga soon.
