Title: Anyone still using Amiga in video post-prduction ?
Post by: slazzer on February 24, 2007, 11:51:06 AM

Just curious - as above ?
Its how I first got into Amigas (in fact computers in general) nearly 20 years ago - eek - is _that_ long ago ??!!??!!

I spotted a genlocker on ebay recently - with 1 bid - so I guess that makes 1 person - somewhere :-)

I have a very posh G2 VC3 genlocker here :-) maybe I'll use it as a high-grade external encoder for a posh RGB monitor :-)

An Algor user in Munich I visited recently still uses this Amiga(s) and a DraCo for Audio/Video post-production. He's also the german synchronizing voice of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons and Danny Glover ;)

No kidding, now. :-D

I use to use, but now I sold my Toaster.:-(

But I know 3 persons who uses it regularly. Toaster-Flyers to a DVD-recorder.:-o

I might be, if I ever get around to setting up the Toaster I picked up 2 years ago. I just got a keyboard for it. Now, to find a video camera, a blank wall, and MST3K here I come! :-D

I would, but I need to get my hands on a toaster for my 4000 first.

@slazzer

 I still do........way more than I would a PC or Mac. I do however use a Mac with iMovie or Quicktime Pro to get the clips I need together for use on My Amiga.  I convert DV video into individual frames than I transfer them to Amiga.

I also recently was working at a Night club as a VJ, in which I had my Amiga (CD32/SX32 pro) hooked up to 3 Projectors and about 20 to 30 Video monitors. I was in the booth with the DJ and I would time the graphics and animations to the music.  Im still working with the Amiga for this and Titling
