Thanks for the flyer update. I hope to get to see one at a show this weekend. Your insert edit example really sucks, if that is the way it works. How do you do a video insert from B source for cutaways, and keep A's audio track intact throughout? If you really have to "make a copy", then they have committed programming suicide for a NL system. They must not be using pointers to various sections of the video. There should only be one copy of each clip, and the edit list internally contains pointers to various portions of digitized video. I can understand that since they are using the toaster as a switcher, that A/B rolls could require some duplication, but only for the duration of the transition. It sounds like it may have good picture quality, but it will truly be a poor man's NL in terms of features, etc…(as you mentioned with the audio). The original toaster was delayed as they improved and worked on it before release. I would rather have a flyer that was a good sound system and wait until January to get it, rather than get it in October, and then have to pay them $500 to upgrade it to what it should have been in the first place. Just my 10cents worth.
