need help-new video toaster user/amiga
« on: August 09, 2008, 10:22:27 PM »
Dear Amigans:

I am planning on buying an amiga 4000 with video toaster.
I never had a video toaster before. I've had a fast pentium computer with lightwave 3d for a few years now, so I can make nice 3d animations but have almost no experience with video editing. I can make nice anim files with lightwave, but never put them together. NOw, I would like to get an amiga/videotoaster. I could then render my 3d animations in my pc (VERY FAST) then transfer to my amiga and use the video toaster to edit and playback the animations. I could then save the animation clips to something like vhs to make a whole movie project.
Is this possible? any tips? do I need the 'flyer' or would the videotoaster be good enough?
please help me,

rednova

Get yourself setup with the VTFlyer system. Save out the pc generated Lightwave frames onto a cd in the proper video resolution, import to the Flyer. Get all the information you can regarding the VTFlyer. Also get the latest 4.3 (at least up until then) Toaster/Flyer Software with LightWave 3D 4.0 and LightWave 3D 5.0

with the 4.3 software there is included that will help in transfering the files:

BigFoot PC FlyerDrive Utility is a PC based program (It DOES NOT INSTALL on an Amiga) that will allow you to hook a Flyer drive directly to a SCSI controller on a PC and copy a Flyer Clip to the System Drive of the PC. Lightwave 3D and Aura can access the clip and process the clip to the system drive. The processed clip can then be copied back onto the Flyer Drive.
