I work for a software firm in Scottsdale, AZ…currently we are writing a Window 3.1/NT app that accesses the VT4000 as part of an Video Edit Station…our only problem is that we need the icons used for selecting transition effects…Wipe Right, etc…we can control the VT4000 quite well, but our screen would be ever so much prettier if we had screen captures from the VT4000 "SWITCHER" screen. MY PLEA: Does anyone have, had or can get a hold of all 200+ transition icons? even if you have some or most of them i would thank you mightily. we might be able to work out a swap of services if someone has a choice, complete set… thanks, reply here ASAP if you know anything at all!

Jon, I would strongly advise that you contact Newtek directly about icons for your product. Besides the obvious trademark infringement you would be risking by going elsewhere, you might find that opening a dialogue with them early on in your development might allow better access to any new "hooks" they may have in store for future releases of the switcher software. It is my understanding that Newtek now encourages such contact since the new broom swept clean a few pockets of resistance to cooperative development ventures. Frank

Pick up Video Toaster User (April 94). The "public" version is there in much detail. Whatever "private" version exists, it's pretty much nobody's business, right? 🙂 Stephen Bailey Sawyer & Bailey Film and Video CIS # 72773,2451

That may not be LEGAL Jon, best to consult a Lawyer before you incorporate the Toaster's Switcher buttons into your software. Good Luck matey.
