Does Any one know how I can setup a seytem for Video Mixing with effects similar to the Amiga Video Toaster I want to combine input from one or two SVHS decks using a variety of mixes, Fades, Blends. I also want to do Titling, and overlay images such as animation and Corel Draw images, ect…. Basically , I'm looking for fancy stuff and I need to know what hardware and software I should consider. I Currently use 486/50 w/ 8mb Ram Upgrading is no problem but I'd like to avoid using a seperate Computer and Since this is video let me know if this will connect to my current Video Card or will it replace it. If I sound confused it's because I am Thank In Advance DAR

Hi Dane, In my opinion two devices that are very similar to the NewTek Video Toaster that run on Windows based IBM compatibles are the Pinncale Alladin and the FAST Video Machine. Your computer is pretty much ready to go with either product, and they do not tap into your VGA card, although the more power/RAM/HD you have the better. -John

Dane, I've never used any of this equipment but have tracked reviews for the past few months of varios multimedia and desktop video magazines. The Fast Video Machine seems like the product to beat for $4000. The vast number of effects this product has is amazing. I've seen a demo of this product and was blown away. Wish I had the budget.
