#Flyer Specs
Hank, be sure to only load Toaster Effect croutons from some regular
hard drive (NOT a Flyer drive). Flyer won't be able to both play
video AND load a Toaster Effect crouton from a Flyer drive at the
same time – hence the error. The Flyer checks IN ADVANCE of playing
a project whether the series of Clip/Effect/Clip/Effect… can
actually be played (some special tricks have to be done if successive
clips are on the same Flyer drive) without errors and will tell you
you have too short of a clip between two effects or such if it can't
make it. Try adjusting the 'out' point of a clip preceding such an
effect or try setting the effect's 'speed' to FAST to get around that
type of error. I will not, in general, be able to answer lots of
specific Flyer questions on this Forum unless CIS decides to let me
on here for free. I certainly don't mind trying to answer, but I've
got a feeling LOTS of questions are about to arise and this forum is
a CIS business. The Flyer is AMAZING. I've been working on special
direct Flyer control software for special applications (e.g. control
over a serial line, etc.) and it is a terrific tool. Good luck – the
3.9 Toaster version went to CDROM pressing recently and should be out
in the next few days (it has the latest Flyer software rev with it,
of course). Tim Jenison told me Friday that all around it is even
better than the version they used at the LA VTU Expo Flyer demos. For
those requiring special programming or consulting services related to
Flyer, please contact me by EMail.
