>YET – Beware one big drawback with Studio Magic, it is not MCI driver hardware
… and on a PC this is a critical flaw.<
Good point! The folks at StudioMagic don't seem to have thought a lot of this
through–which is the impression I got when I called them regarding their beta
version (which I reviewed). OTOH, if you're not intending to use it as more
than a titler/genlock with a few digital effects thrown in, and can accept the
quality compromises, the price *is* right…
>Also, the documentation I saw with the product was very skimpy and tended to
suggest experimentation whenever answers were lacking.<
LOL! *Very* true–their manual's more like "Zen and Art of Video
Postproduction" than a practical guide. Again, I think they got so high on the
concept of their product they didn't think it through…
