Desktop Video
Quicktime is a standard. Given the proper hardware, QT can be broadcast
quality, check out the new Digital Film board (24-bit 60 fields/sec.)
That, combined with Adobe Premier 3.0 can make a low-cost offline/online
non-linear editor that competes with Avid's best. QT isn't the limitation,
hardware is, and the Amiga pretty much has the hardware to implement QT
as-well-as or better than the Mac.
The two important things about QT is that it skips frames to keep up in
real time (only on slow hardware) and audio is tightly integrated into it.
