You may be kicking yourself for the money investment in a Mac and the lack of information and support in using a Mac for video. And you will probably never get decent (never mind professional) animated output from the Mac at any price without investing in very time-consuming methods. Take my word for it, as a professional videographer titler, the extra margin of money and time for the Mac will probably never pay for itself before your equipment is obsolete. ..and the Mac will probably never have any kind of Amiga compatibility.

I am real impressed with the Video Toaster reveiw in Amiga World this month. It looks like just what I have been wanting to do with with my wedding video business. Plus, it looks like I'm saving $3000+. Plus, it appears that all of the video magazines talk about is Amiga…IBM/PCs some, and M Macs rarely. What kind of things do you do on video with yours? What kind of a configuration do you have? Thanks!

I think the $3000+ amount you stated is wayyyyy too low. a real DVE would cost at least $10,000, not to mention the cost of a switcher etc. etc. But the only problem is, if you were to put your name on the waiting list TODAY for a Toaster you will probably have to wait at least 7 months before they get to your name ( assuming of course IF they started shipping them tomorrow.

Thanks! But I am not going to be that high tech that I am spending that much money. I would have little competition in our town on the lower end and thus I could not charge enough to justify that according to the pr prices the market would bear here.
