You need to be careful to not confuse the Toaster with an editor. The
Toaster provides the ability to switch between video sources. It gives you
digital video effects, character generator, paint box, etc. But the Toaster
does NOT function as an editor. An editor is a VTR controller that lets you
automate many of the tasks of editing. A simple cuts only editor from SONY
will run you about $2K. But if you want an A/B roll editor, you'll have to
spend a LOT more. There are also some editor packages available now that
run on the Amiga, but I'm not familiar with them. Maybe somebody else here
can help out in that area.
