Thanks very much for your reply Michael, I have a message out to Nick Schlott of Adobe for info, but your feedback is even more important because its real world use. I'm a video free-lancer and have worked a little with a friend's Premiere/Quadra840 combo. Premiere is wonderful!! I've worked on the Amiga, whcih I love, but its a dying machine. I have a 386 which I use to connect to Cserve. I've thougth of replacing the board with a 486DX 66… relatively cheap. But I'm new to the Dos/WIN world so get klutzy around IRQs, dma's, etc. The Amiga is SCSI and plug & play… Is your machine a 486 or Pentium?? How much Ram?? What do you think is the workable minimum? I take it that your video card has to squeeze the picture real time in order to use the clip window on your VGA (rather than your NTSC monitor that you output Y/C to) I want to use it off-line to create edit lists. I also would like to be able to output video at the maximum quality of the system to tape.. have you had any problems with frame drop-out?? when going to tape. Is it a problem to have both IDE and SCSI going at once. Installation hard? or did your machine come that way? What was the price on your video card?? Did you buy in through a dealer or go mail order? I also want to go directly to CD ROM (I'm ready to be rid of tape). Premiere looks to be the ideal way to do that. Do you have any interest that way?? By the way, I live in Austin and have old video friends there in Houston at SWAMP (Southwest Alternate Media Project). It'd be great to stay in touch, I'm going to move on this one way or another very soon and I suspect that means it'd be good to trade info. all the best Tom
