Mike, thanks for your reply. Several questions: 1) You are using the Panasonic AG7500 S-VHS deck. Does this deck have the single frame capability, or do you move to another deck for that editing? Price (approx)? For average use, would this deck be suitable for nearly all editing purposes? (ie. or would I need a more featured deck also….) 2) You mention an 'interface' tween the Amiga and VCR for @ $2-5K. I know that one is necessary, but can't find any info on how to proceed. Is this a piece of Amiga hardware, or video hardware? Is it just a hardware box, or is it software controlled, etc? Why the big difference in price? (2-5K is quite a spread) Any particular brands you can suggest? 3) I gather that the above (along with CMI stuff or genlock, etc) is all that is necessary to do true single framing and very good editing, correct? You said that the 'Transport Controller' will interface to Videoscape, etc. How about Sculpt/Silver/etc. I assume each program uses its own driver, etc… are drivers avail or can they be custom written? (ie. for my own software development…) 4) I gather that the final product (particularly for broadcast) would then be taken to a Video shop for transfer to 3/4" or 1"? Important question: can all other work be done with the equipt you describe? I am trying to get a system that let's me do NEARLY ALL by myself… Thanks for your help…. –jp–
