Is It Still Possible?
« on: October 20, 2012, 08:55:45 AM »
I've been wanting to pick up a Video Toaster package on eBay for quite some time. Every now and then, I see one going for a really great price.

But I hesitate because I'm not (so) sure its still possible to create decent, professional and even cutting edge video with it.

Also, I have to admit I haven't actually even seen any new video work done on it - so I have nothing to gauge it by.

(Not saying that there isn't any out there - just that I personally haven't seen it.)

Would it be worth the money, time and effort to invest in a VT?

One issue is that the Amiga video toaster resolution is only 480i.  So your creativity is going to have to make use of the low resolution in a clever way.  Remember that just because today's programs are more powerful they don't magically grant the user creativity.  A creative video made on an Amiga Video Toaster can be far better than a non-creative video produced on modern tech.  Learn it's limitations and exploit them.


True!

Deja vu... Isn't this thread 3 weeks old or something? I could have sworn I saw this 3 weeks ago... Or am I losing it? :nervous:


Sounds like you're caught up in a causality loop! Quick, slingshot around the sun to break free! :rofl:
