Jerry – You did notice that the Flyer 4.0 will record SMPTE in the inital step, if the user wants it. It seems that Newtek feels the Flyer really doesn't need time code control or and EDL. After all, when you can produce a finished production right off the Flyer, it is not necessary to go back and dubb or reedit the finished tape. Just change the Flyer project info, and recreate the tape. If they're right about being able to produce a finished, broadcast quality tape with the Flyer, then all you need to save is the Flyer's project file, if you wish to recreate and/or modify the production. It would also be somewhat difficult to have an EDL tied to the Flyer's capabilities, which interfaces and uses the Toaster CG and DVE, and take it anywhere else. And. of course, you can always run it on another Flyer. It seems to make sense, but actual usage will tell. Hank Hank/Videology – Where you get all the P.O.M.P. under all Circumstances
