Jason, Just read your inquiry about controlling VCRs from AMIGA (time lapse recording, etc…). I have had similar interests for a while in using AMIGA for video interfacing purposes. In fact, I was just reading my VIDEOSCAPE 3D about recording VScape animations frame by frame; indeed, it seems that at this point most AMIGA graphics/animations packages are good in term of generating animation sequences, but their smoothness (or lack of it) in paying those sequences leaves to be desired… The VScape 3D manual mentions that it should be possible to "run a frame controller (hardware & software) from the printer output" to allow frame by frame (and presumably time-lapse) recording. I hope we'll get answers to all those questions. Hey! At this point, AMIGA is most ideally suited (price-wise and software wise) to be a graphics/video production & editinf machine "for the rest of us". I am sure that a lot of Amiga users are into this, but it is sometimes hard to hear about them (Maybe the Business Broadcast Forum – BPForum – offers more info.??). Just using Pro Video CGI for Hi-Res character generation is a proof of AMIGA's semi-professional capabilities!! Roger
