Framiga - Time to put away the crack pipe! VT[2] sucks??? Sure, there are cheaper NLEs around but do they come with kick-ass 3D software and great video paint program? Do they allow switching with up to 8 live streams of video? Do they integrate as a frame buffer with LightWave, Aura, After Effects, 3D Studio Max, Premiere, Digital Fusion & DFX+? As far a stability goes, VT has VERY specific hardware requirements (as do most pro-level NLEs) and if you can meet or exeed those it runs like a dream - I've never experienced a single crash with the Video Toaster [2] and as for quality - how can a D1 video NLE system get better than uncompressed??? :-?
