How many Amiga Video Toaster Users?

[giZmo350]

I bought the Toaster 2000 in the ebay link mentioned earlier and a Kitchen Sync myvbay was selling. I have an A2000 with 2MB chip and an Indivision ECS (I wonder if the Indi is compatible with the Toaster system). I was asking the seller a few questions and he said that I would need some sort of audio card for audio input AND an accelerator. Could prove hard to find a fast one. I don't have ANY experience with the Toaster but I have a very specific plan for it. My daughter and I want to create some basic "commercials" to post on my business website. Mostly "bodies" superimposed on a background image or background video with effects, titling and audio. I hope that's possible with what I've bought + audio card and Accelerator.
 
I was reading that the Kitchen Sync could take an input from any consumer video product such as a camcorder - is that true? Is that how that's done - live video from camcorder to Kitchen Sync using the Toaster for background and effects?
 
I was sitting here and thought I would do a Toaster search on A.O. and came across this post. I too had no idea that Pyro what part of the DiscreetFX Team. Is there a forum on how to get started using the Toaster and how to create some video/audio productions?
 
Anyway, I'd like to get started.....
I think the Toaster and KS will arrive tomorrow!
 
Rog........
 
This thread was alot of help - I too want to use the PC as an input.
Output to a PC with DVD-RAM sounds totally possible

Welcome to the cool kids club.
 

 
@orb85750
 
Your the first one that has mentioned having it setup on the A1200. How well does it work and which bus extension board did you use?

Thanks! Always wanted to hang with the cool kids! :biglaugh:
 
BTW, WTB A2000 Accellerator.... any sellers? :confused:
(as the A2000 is now - 2MB chip & 8MB Fast the poor thing can't even play a CD without serious skippage)
 
Is this worth the $$$? Can't really justify this much!!!

I miss the innocence when the Toaster was king, back then you could just wack together videos and people loved them, now you have to end everything so the timing is just right and every video must be perfect in form. Video editing has become a chore rather than a fun thing.
 
Actually that's not 100% true, video editing on the iPad is to this close is good enough standard.

@persia
What did/do you create videos for & who? Do you have anything you've created that can be viewed? I'm actually going for the old skool look & feel.
 
"Video editing has become a chore rather than a fun thing."
Is that because you're now using a PC?

Ok... so tell where & what to get for my towered A1200 and I'll buy it...
 
It's the one thing for the Amiga that I've always wanted but never had, mainly because they never released a PAL version...

Franko, just noticed this over at DiscreetFX:
 
Flying Buddy - The Amiga Video Toaster & Flyer were only available in NTSC due to circumstances beyond the manufactures control. However if you live in a country that uses the PAL video standard you can edit in NTSC then output your final video production using the external Flying Buddy. This product works with or without a Flyer card.
Now Available!
