AWww, yes, yes, but! a) I can't spend $2500 +/- $500 until 1995 when we get a new capital budget. b) We don't do that much video animation (yet, although we might do more with Quick Pass). c) Since our need is not urgent, we may as well see what happens in the desktop/digital video world in the next six months — ultimately, we need to be able to edit live video. Hopefully the next six months will produce as many great products as the last six months. At Siggraph 93, there was beta Targa 2000, and another black box system (?) at Siggraph '94 there was Newtek, Matrox, Truevision, the PAR people, and a small army of others hawking high and low end digital video stuff. In '94 a whole magazine was launched to cover the "Digital Video" market. d) The difference between doing something in ten minutes versus eighty is radical enough for me this week. Donald
