#Fade to black problems
7 messages in this thread
Mike, The problem happens when I use SuperGen to fade the video image to or
from black. It happens in both the manual fades and when Broadcast Titler
effects control the fade. When I'm in black (either before or after the
video image fades) I can see part of the video on the right. And you're
right, it does illuminate the screen. I can see it on my waveform
moniter. SuperGen claims that they can't do anything about it, and they
advised me to wait until the new graphics board comes out (about a year!)
Yikes! Wait for a new board? No doubt for more money. I've never heard
that anyone has this problem. I loaned out my SuperGen, but when it
returns next weekend, I will check it out. If this is true, it makes the
SG much less desirable (to put it mildly). —Mike
Talked to someone at Creative Computing today, and he also said that
he's never heard of this problem. He thinks maybe it's a fault in my
particular computer. But that still doesn't explain what the guy from
SuperGen said. Oh well. . . It's frustrating. I'm new to the Amiga. I
waited so long to get it, and I wanted it to be perfect. Tina
I know how you feel. Try the SuperGen on a different Amiga if you can.
If it still has the problem, can you take it back to the dealer you bought
it from?
Mike, I think I can take it back to the dealer. If not, I can probably
return it to the company. I may have to wait awhile before I can try it
out on another Amiga. My dealer just sold out all his Amigas. Even sold
his floor model. So he's waiting to get some more in. The only person I
know with an Amiga is in Chicago, and I'm in L.A. Oh well, I guess after
all this, I can afford to wait a little.
By the way, thanks for all the help. I'm so new to this, and I feel kinda
lost a lot of the time. It's nice to know that I can get help when I need
it.
From what Mike was saying it sounds like a problem with the SuperGen board,
and not the Amiga. If your local dealer knows anything about video, you
might want to check there too.
