Fun fact: even modern PC's have major difficulties working under similar conditions (read: massive MB 320x200 raw animation replayed with flawless 60hz fps). It's ofcourse the OS of Win/Linux/Mac that bogs down performance and nothing else.

It does? Perhaps 10 years ago... but not now...

Was about to say - I work in a video production house and work with uncompressed digitized video and animations all day long.

I export these for client review a lot of the time to uncompressed (1:1) quicktime for clients to review via ftp when sending a tape isn't viable.

I'm hoping this still works when I get back from vacation - or I might be out of a job... :lol:

I have friends who are film students, one is able to edit uncompressed HD films in FinalCut on His MacBook Pro... and the other uses Adobe something-or-other on a fairly old WinXP machine...

Even the humble laptop has had this level of performance for many years.

That would most likely be Adobe Premier (and/or After Effects).

I use Avid Adrenaline and Nitrus DS (formally Softimage) at work and Avid Xpress Pro on this system at home.

@ varius people: I didn't try to claim some Amiga superiority nut opinion nor anything. -Ofcourse there exist dedicated video editing stuff that does this flawlessly for every platform.

I mentioned clients who don't have any bells and whistles to VIEW this.

As for dedicated video editing stuff - this aint the era of Video Toaster anymore - 10 million cards and a hole in your wallet. You can comfortably edit video with little more than a PC and a copy of Adobe Premier - Mac and final cut... even less - I think xp has a crappy home video slap together program , and I know the Mac has one too.

My home edit system does have the Avid SDI, but then again I edit professionally - my 'muckaround' system doesn't.


Maybe put the old noggin into research mode before announcing these 'facts'  :-?

The topic was about a comparison of the Atari ST to the Amiga on an animation program - I don't see what point dragging the PC and what it might and might not be able to do compared to an Amiga has to do do with that anyways...

I concur - once was. It's the folks who think 'still is' that make me wonder
