#Amiga Video (RIP)
5 messages in this thread
Where – oh where – have all the friendly and interesting folk who use their
Amiga(s) for VIDEO PRODUCTION – gone ??
The only thing I now see in the Amiga collection of Forums, is a thing
called "Desktop Video". It is rather like having to look at the unsteady
production of Uncle Joe's funeral – taken by Auntie Maude.
Has everybody given up on the Amiga for video production ? Am I now alone
in the wilderness ??
Perhaps Marc will take me (and any other lonely videophile) under his warm
wing in Consumer Electronics ??
Weeping – and in great distress …… Hilary.
Hilary, you are reading AmigaArts as well as AmigaUser, right? It would
probably be more emphasized there.

Hilary,
"Desktop Video" is the place for all video discussion.

Fear not, young one. Amiga video is alive and well. I am using my Amiga
in industrial/education level production all the time.
Moreover, NewTek IS NOW SHIPPING the long awaited video Toaster. What an
amazing machine–every report I read on the gizmo details some new and
profound capability. I hope to have my very own in a few short weeks. This
gadget will, IMHO, revolutionize the computer/video industry. The most
significant obstacle is the relative lack of respect for Commodore
computers.
In sum, do not fear the silence. There are many friends in the forest.

A significant portion of our customer base at Syndesis appear to be
professional video people – they have companies with "Studios" in the
company title, or they look like a cable TV station or a local TV
station… I know they're out there. Obviously, you've seen Avid magazine.
🙂 I've been thinking about writing for them, too. With the advent of
the Toaster, I think there's more need for an Amiga-friendly video mag.
Wouldn't you agree? And what could you do to make the Amiga forum more
popular with video-heads? I'm sure Steve would be very receptive to any
scheme you've got.
