It would be nice even if there were NO new transitions, just lower pixelization on the digital animated transitions. More importantly, a much cleaner CG ouput with selectable colors on dropshadows and outlines on all types of pages. Cleaner keying of titles when used in conjunction with the wipes would also be nice. And lastly, faster LW rendering and even perhaps an AGA preview version capability. (Guess you an tell I'm not a real "wipe" fan. Fade and cut cover about 98% of the wipes one needs in quality video. The others are nice to thrill freinds and to be campy or when you are going for comic effect – something most of us don't get paid for…:^} However, I think we're both dreaming. After all, from a business perspective it might make more sense to develope their own display technology then move to machines that better support RTG. The hardware would be more expensive, but still enough less than current "dedicated studio hardware" to sell well. The only way it would be most cost effective to re-engineer to AGA is if the cooperation factor between CBM and NewTek were MUCH better than it appears to be. wmc – via Autopilot!
