Chris, >I can genlock or chromakey DCTV quality AGA images _with_ video, and animate them very quickly. Ok Chris you probably know what I'm going to ask ;). How? What AGA aware software are you using to assemble anims in any AGA mode. What AGA paint program are you using to touch up and add hand animated effects to individual frames? And what AGA/3.0 aware software are you using to play those elusive full speed anims? – Now I know that all this is coming, but I am getting a bit impatient. BTW since those AGA files can get mighty big, and since DCTV packs a tremendous amount of info in is jpeg like file compression algorythm. Using 4 or even 3 bitplane DCTV pics I can create and play REALLY long animation sequences on my 18 meg 4000 – much longer than I could using a straight AGA IFF file based anim. I kind of like to think of my DCTV as a poor man's, realtime, Jpeg like, compression/decompression hardware ;). Actually as real AGA softeware becomes a reality my DCTV will see less use. But if I need to "work soft" there is NOTHING I have found that comes close to DCTV paint. I love that program! …AutoPilot Engaged… -Paul-
