#Animation Timing Prob.

We have two Amigas, a 1000 and a 2000, in a videographics production studio environment. We transfer graphics in 1" and S-VHS settings. The 2000 is used in the S-VHS bay, and has an internal Magni board for video out. Problem is: animations created in Deluxe Paint III on the 1000 and transferred to the 2000 for transfer to tape do NOT play at the proper speed. We have noticed a consistent slowing of playback on the 2000 when compared with the speed on the 1000. I suspect the Magni board is influencing this. Does anyone have specific data to support this? Or other ideas? If you KNOW what is wrong, any idea how I can correct for the problem? Thanks. If you prefer, please call me, tollfree, 800-327-6296, to discuss further.

Do you have a hard drive installed in the 2000 and not in the 1000? I've heard rumors that certain hard drive controllers can slow down overall system operation (even when the drive is not being accessed) which might explain this. I would *NOT* suspect the Magni board (although you could prove/disprove this by removing it temporarily and running an animation sequence that you have found runs slow).
