Although I haven't thoroughly experimented with this - AMBER gels seem to give us the best results for a back-light. Be careful with the gels though, because too much of one color makes a VERY sharp chroma-key edge, which looks just as bad as the "blue halo". Good Luck! -Steve -- Steve Herring posted this message.

The CD-Rom comes packed with 3D objects, 24 bit brushes, sounds FX & music, textures, animations & moving backgrounds in Flyer and Par format, still backgrounds, etc.... One thing that impressed me the most is the quality of the art work. I don't know who did all the drawing and composing but I can certify that everything is first class network quality and very professional. Really, I was not expecting to see this kind of quality a la CNN, NBC etc... (actually I think some of this stuff looks better and less cheesy that some of the big guys graphics). I'd be curious to know what software packages these guys used (certainly not TPaint) but I guess probably something like Alpha Paint and Photoshop. I hope that the next issues of the Club Toaster CD-Rom will be as good as this one and that they'll keep filling this CD-Rom with their own creations. Thanks again to DH and his teamates. Thierry. Note: I am not associate in any way with those guys but am just trully amazed by their work.

Amiga clubs and Amiga users write to ask us to revive and continue to develop and improve the Amiga. Many of them actually sent us their wishes for future hardware architectures and operating systems improvements. However, it is still unclear for many users how a PC manufacturer and retailer will use the Amiga technology. Here is our answer: ESCOM now turns from a PC manufacturer and retailer into a multimedia company. The big multimedia applications will come very soon as Pay-TV, Video on demand, homebanking, home-shopping and online services. In this growing market, we want to become a leading provider of hardware, software and solutions. Our goal is to give the user a cost-efficient way to access all these new services the multimedia world will allow. The Amiga technology brings us all we need here in an elegant way. We see in the Amiga the key to Multimedia technologies for the future. As an intelligent terminal, you all know the PC. Many people use the PC in conjunction with a modem to access online services and the worldwide Internet. Escom is providing that market with a wide palette of advantageoulsy priced Multimedia PCs in a range between 2000 and 3000 DM. But there are other user profiles, who want to use the multimedia technology without having to spend several thousands of DM. For these users, the Amiga represents a very interesting alternative. It stands out with an amazing price/quality ratio. Also remarkable is the operating system with a still unmatched multitasking ability. That means that several applications can run simultaneously, depending on available memory without slowing down the whole system. This is achieved by the smart resource sharing of the system and the low consumption of RAM and processing power by the applications. The Amiga operating system needs 8 times less memory than Windows, and it multitasks better than Windows. Through this smart use of system resources, the Amiga is still a very efficient and unexpensive computer. Video is another strength of the Amiga. In this aspect, the Amiga is superior to the PC. The video output of the Amiga is already PAL and NTSC compatible, so it can just be plugged into a TV or any video monitor. A PC needs a converter to do this. The Amiga represents a possibility to give people access to interactive television, online services and pay TV with set top boxes at decent prices like 400 DM. The market is huge because there are much more televisions than computers in the homes. The set top box is a concrete application involving Amiga technology that we want to improve. For the American market, which is much more advanced than in Europe in this regard, we already have license agreements with our partner VisCorp - our first licence by the way. We are willing to be very flexible and open-minded regarding licensing of our technology. Amiga developers and manufacturers shall have the chance to talk with us to define partnerships or license agreements. Together, we will develop a wide range of Amiga hardware and software. Our goal is a productive, open amiga technology. The example of Viscorp demonstrates it at best : we license Amiga technology to people who want to integrate it in their own products. The press already talked about another partner, the Tianjin Family-Used Multimedia Co. Ltd. They will build the lower range of Amiga computers and revive the legendary Commodore 64 for the chinese market. Ladies and gentlemen, we have mainly talked about the Amiga. In New York, we also took over another well known brand : Commodore. All of you surely remember the good old Commodore 64 and its tremendous success in the early eighties. It is still a famous episode in the home computer history that could be compared to the Volkswagen Beetle. A recent study made by the german economic magazine DM reveals that the name Commodore still has very high recognition. 93 percent of all PC users know the trademark Commodore. such a reputation is only surpassed by IBM. We will now separate Commodore and Amiga operations. Amiga will be the multimedia range with Motorola processors and Commodore for Intel based Personal Computers. We want to use all available and appropriate distribution channels both for Commodore and Amiga: specialized retail stores, warehouses, and mail order services. The ESCOM subsidiaries are only one of many possibilities. Ladies and gentlemen, we are convinced that ESCOM, Commodore and Amiga will become a sucess story. Look at the structure and competencies we have built up in a short time. Thank you. ********************************************************************* Petro Tyschtschenko Ladies and gentlemen, As the General manager of Amiga Technologies GmbH, I would like to welcome you to the first press conference of our new company and also tell you how much we appreciate your presence here. At a spectacular auction, five weeks ago in New York, ESCOM AG acquired the rights to the intellectual property of the former Commodore company for 10 Mio $, including all trademarks, logos, products and licences. Since the day we succeeded in buying the Amiga technology, many people have asked us how the future will look for their computer of choice. We got floods of anxious faxes and letters to which we couldn't give an answer at once because things were too early to comment. We will use the opportunity we have now to talk to all of you and present the new Escom daughtercompany, Amiga Technologies. Some leading developpers of hardware and software for the Amiga as well as some of our new licensing partners will present themselves and their projects to us. To clear up things from the beginning, - and that's the point you are all interested in - I want to make the comittment that we are determined to resume production and also want to continue hardware and software development of what we believe is a superior technology. That's why we created Amiga Technologies and we are now hiring the best and most capable people to accomplish this. For a sucessfull Multimedia company like ESCOM, the Commodore Patents and licences concerning Amiga are considered the key to multimedia technology. Mister Schmitt will say more about this later. But let's concentrate on our immediate plans. As the director of Amiga Technologies, my first priority now is to resume production of Commodore and Amiga computers and bring them on the market as soon as possible. For us, this means September 1995. I would also like to refer to Commodore computers, Pentium PCs, which will be available in August this year. These will be fully loaded P75 and P100 multimedia PCs. They will be assembled in our own ESCOM facilities. We plan to sell between 50 000 and 60 000 units before the end of this year. Let me point out that the Commodore and Amiga operations will be separate, Amiga Technologies will only take care of Amiga, whereas ESCOM will provide Commodore PCs. One month later, we will start producing the high-end multimedia Amiga 4000 T. To succeed in keeping that tight schedule, we negotiated with well known producers in Europe and Asia. For the selection of the manufacturing partner, we will be emphasizing the quality requirements. Until the end of the year, we plan to produce enough machines to meet the demand. These machines are already outsold in preorders. In October, the production of the low-end A1200 will begin. We expect to ship enough untis as well as CD 32 game consoles to meet the Christmas season demand. Please give us more time to publish quantities. The takeover of the inventory, which is mainly composed of spare parts, in the UK and Germany is completed. The rumoured stocks of new Amigas ready to be sold do not exist. For inventory in the Phillipines, we are currently negotiating with the local trustees. Ladies and gentlemen, the new Amiga Technology will now become the operating center of an international Company held 100% by ESCOM AG. Our headquarters in Bensheim will employ around 50 people for following tasks : development, support to developers, resellers, and users, production management, Marketing, PR and administration. We also took over the former Commodore development center in Norristown, with its research and development facilities. Eduard Goff, former Vice President and General counsel at Commodore now leads that center. He will talk to you later. Our developers are now working on the next generation RISC based Amigas as well as on improving current models. Here, we are working in a tight partnership with SCALA and MOTOROLA. Amiga Technologies GmbH expects a turnover of 100 Mio DM in 1995, mainly from the Christmas business with Amiga 1200, 4000 and CD32. Our monthly expenses are evaluated at around 600 000 DM. The break even point should be reached this year. We are confident that we will have rentabilized our 10 Mio $ investment by spring 1996 with Amiga sales and licences.

The Fast and the Flyer have had about the same amout of problems from what I have seen day to day. If you are doing any work with Betacam SP Component is a neccesity. Component allows you to layer your work cleaner, go more generation with less loss, and Hook up with a component Alladin (which is a ballsy machine). I use a DPS Personal Component Adapter on my Flyer just to get that much more out of my image. But if your not goiung to Beta this isn't as much of a concern. The compression that the Fast uses (JPEG) doesn't thrill me but since the processing is done component it is very clean.

It's called the PR-232, it's a mini time code-to-RS232 reader (2"x3"x0.5") and will do just what Flyer users need: reads LTC time code and convert it to RS232 serial data. The list price is $179. It also comes with PC comm port cable, DB9-DB25 serial port adaptor. To be notify when available, call Horita at 714-489-0240. I had a little chat with Tim Jenison at NAB about the choice of RS232 for time code data instead of RS422. He mentioned that it was much easier to convert RS422 into RS232 than the opposite and also that RS232 is much more versatile and will offer more serial control options for 3rd party software/hardware. He also said that the new Toaster for Windows card would be able to read VITC time code or may be that's with the Flyer add-on TBC, I don't remember exactly. Happy Flying!

I don't think it's necessaty to use the DPS Component Adaptor to convert Flyer composite signal into component unless your final output from the Flyer goes direclty into a display (TV monitor, video wall,...) with component inputs. If your Flyer output is to be recorded onto Betacam SP, the Betacam SP VTR will transcode the composite input from the flyer/toaster into component internally.

It seems like Newtek should automatically use a You MUST have two video drives to have proper playback with the Flyer. If you are using any audio, you MUST have an Audio drive, too.

The only annoying problems I was having lately was random video stutters and audio glitches while playing back a complete project and recording it on tape. My Flyer card was recalled by Newtek last friday and should be back in the studio this week. Apparantly, a wrong capacitor installed on the card has been responsible for playback problems for many users but this hardware modification should definelty fix the problem. I let you know the result. I would not really consider the Flyer software buggy (e.i. it really never crashes) but it's definetly minimal compare to high-end NL systems around and has a lot of room to grow. Right now, the software allows you to perform 90% of a production editing task very easely but there are still some edits that are a tricky to perform like multiple cut-aways on a talking head or cutting video clips onto a music track. >Can digitized video clips be saved out as .avi files for editing in Adobe Premier? Considering the Flyer plug-in architecture, I think it's very realistic to think that somebody will write several plug-ins allowing conversion of Flyer clips into avi., quicktime, ... formats soon.

You can also go into the switcher screen and hit F8 (I believe it is F8 - not at machine at the moment) this will take you to the Toaster set-up screen where you can switch between modes. Just make sure you quit the FLyer to save your settings. (The FLYER saves its configuration when you quit) Hope this helps Robert Coates -- RFCoates@aol.com posted this message.

When you autohued, did you use a very short, high quality BNC cable to connect Pgrm out to input 4? Also, there is a coper grouding brush clipped on the Toaster 2000 board that supposed to make grounding contact with the right side of the Amiga 2000 case, check and make sure that this copper brush is correctly positioned, I have heard of buffers problems when grounding is not properly done.

I did a 30 minute project with no audio drive (just the audio on the video clips) and it worked with only 1 stutter. I discovered that if I turn off my 68040 card, stutters go through the roof. With it on and only 1 drive in (one of 'em burned out...) I got a slight (say, 2 frame) stutter at the end of some clips.

On the older Toaster2000 board, if the luminance/chrominance shift is within 3%, it is usually considered "normal" for the Toaster to do this. The newer Toaster4000 board is more accurate to begin with, and has an adjustment to help tweak this if necessary. It's all a matter of degree. If you have access to another Toaster2000 board, try it and see if there is a significant difference between the two. Problems with the Amiga itself, primarily in the Agnes or Denise chip (usually Denise) can also account for this.

The Toaster has always done this. Some of the data lines to the parallel port are "shared" by the Amiga video slot, and the Toaster is using these during boot-up, as well as during transfer of images to/from the framebuffer. Some devices that are connected to the parallel port like scanners, digitizers, etc. will actually keep the Toaster from running ("Toaster not responding"). You just have to leave your printer OFF whenever you're using the Toaster to keep this from happening. ,-------------------------------------------------------, / John Crookshank johnc@mcs.com / ( MicroTech Solutions, Inc.

I haven't heard from them since I bought my first version of the FLYER which was back in January (although I originally ordered in JUne of last year). They are not very good at keeping their customers up to date. Although I did recieve a letter a few months ago saying that the final version of the FLYER would arrive in a couple of weeks. Good thing I have the internet to cover for NEWTEK customer relations staff. THANKS IN ADVANCE, Mario Cascio ProMotion -- Mario Cascio posted this message.

NewTek did contact me to ask for the Flyer back, but only after I'd spoken with tech support about Toaster 4.0 bugs (unrelated to the Flyer, which I'm not using yet), and given them my serial number. Getting in touch with tech support required 4 faxes of the same letter (all unanswered), numerous phone calls, and, once I actually spoke with the tech support-support person (she took a message), hanging near the phone for two hours waiting for a call-back... (The guy I finally spoke with was very friendly and helpful as could be, though he couldn't solve all the Toaster problems I gave him. He said addressing faxes or calls to a specific person can speed things up. So, when you call tech support, ask for Lloyd.) Now, what's all this I keep hearing about Play, Inc.?

I often have Lightwave rendering while I try to do some other work on the computer. I am wondering if I added a graphics card (either Retina Z3 or Cybervision) and a second computer monitor, would I be able to use software on the graphics card at the same time that I have the Toaster running? Does anyone have a configuration like I have described, or is there a better solution (short of buying another Amiga)?

It was Jakobere Something must be wrong - the average for me, for the past month has run about 7 postings per day. Last night, I downloaded TML9504.lha and TML9505.lha from tomahawk. Turned out to be the archive for the toaster list, TML = Toaster Mailing List (for some reason I thought it was the archive for the Newtek tech. BBS - wouldn't that be nice!). In reading through the collective wisdom of the group, I realised that I had not seen a fair number of those items before. I checked with my system `op', and I don't seem to be loosing mail on this end. Is there a block in the pipe somewhere? I had noticed a drop in traffic on the `net', but assumed that could be students who loose net access in the summer. Just wondering. Ian -- Ian Lancaster posted this message.

Yup, I had similar problems when I used to have a printer connected to my Toaster machine and would forget to turn it off. I've also noticed that the "floppy" drives get accessed when starting up the Toaster, even if there isn't a disk inserted....just some of the funkiness of the Video Toaster! =) -- davewarner@globalone.net posted this message.

You can't go by dates of when you bought it, they have had one insertion machine stuffing the wrong part on the assembly line since day one, so if you just bought one, you're just as likely to have a "bad" one as if you got it 6 months ago. Ours that we got last October was OK. Fortunately the manufacturing plant keeps excellent records, so they know the exact serial number of the affected boards. If you are registered, "no news is good news". You will not hear from them if yours is OK. Of course if you are not registered, you'll never know. They called us dealers FIRST, to have us verify/document all the units we have sold and TO WHOM, so they could compare their customer list with ours. They don't intend to miss anyone. If you're sure you're registered, (like if you have received mail or updates already) and they haven't called you, you can rest assured that you do not have an affected board.

The defective Flyers have a 6-volt capacitor instead of a 12-volt capacitor installed somewhere on the board...this defect is supposedly responsible for much of the flakiness found in the Flyer. If you're one of the unlucky few(?) who has a defective Flyer, NewTek will contact you about returning it for repair, IF you've properly registered your unit.

This may be the answer or it may be net balloon juice [you know what I mean: "Well I don't have a Sun Workstation, but my C-64 kinda did something like that when I was in 8th grade . . . "]. We've got an HP Laserjet connected to two PCs through a mechanical A/B switch. Every time we flipped the switch, the laser would go off-line and the form-feed light would come on. Press the form feed button and a character or line of gibberish comes out. What I found out is that there is always some voltage going from the PC to the printer on one of the pins. When that voltage is interrupted, the printer interprets it as an error and dumps it to paper. My guess is that the Amiga/Toaster/Flyer/Dongle/etc./etc. is interrupting that voltage coming out of the parallel port and your printers are dumping gibberish. But then again, what do I know? If there's a more correct answer, someone feel free to let me know. I'll just hate you forever 8^). Pete -- aa794@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Pete Nofel) posted this message.

'95 have a 12-volt instead of a 6-volt capacitor in place. This capacitor provides power to most of the important parts of the Flyer. It can casue no noticable problems to crashes and excessive stuttering. If you have a defective Flyer and you sen tin your registration, NewTek will call you and will pay to have to card sent to a place called Midwestern Electronics in Kansas to have it repaired. They claim 5 days since Airborne Express picks it up until you'll have it back. BTW, DON'T call Tech Support to ask! They say the've been so swamped with calls that they can't get the return calls out to the owners of defective cards fast enough.

I am in the process of selecting one and want to make sure it works, and that it is reasonably speedy. I bought a 7 Gig exabyte. According to Newtek there is no tape drive that will currently work properly with the flyer. They said they are working on a fix. I did try mine once and it dropped a clip from the back-up. However, everything else was in good shape. Dropping clips is something that the flyer software is resonposible for.You cannot compress any further the video encoded on your flyer drives. So if your tape drives says 2 gigs and 4 gigs compressed it means two gigs. I also followed a long thread on another newsgroup about exabyte tape drives. Some of the people thought that all exabytes were sh** and others thought that they worked OK. I have already paid for my exabyte, so I am committed to making it work. I called exabyte about this thread and they said that I must buy an 8mm data cleaning cartridge and only data quality tapes. They flipped out when I suggested buying some high quality sony 8MM tape. The upshot is that I will not know how well my exabyte works until Newtek releases updated software. BTW I am running version 4.03 and I do not get stutters (extra frames) between clips. This stuttering problem went away when I installed a 4 gig audio drive. We make one hour videos with about 60 clips and 30 framestores and each edit is a split edit. Our flyer is working perfectly.

Which quality did you digitize you video at? If you have any HQ-5 clips in your project and have at some point turned off your system, you need to re-enter the HQ-5 mode in the digitize window after rebooting the Flyer. This garantees that HQ-5 clips will playback fine.

I've used a couple different Exabyte models with our Flyer, and in all instances, the Flyer software backed up as fast as the drive's published specs, so nothing could have been any faster using the same drives. I've had good results with Exabytes, but have heard of others who have had good results with other drives as well. Unless the drive you're looking at has compression built-in at the hardware level, you won't get any compression. Many drives that advertise compression require the software to do it, and the Flyer software does not.

If you don't hear from them, your Flyer is OK. If you don't know if they have your registration, call them with your serial number in hand.

Are you using 9 gig drives and if so are you using Standard or extended Play. I was told that my Flyer was defective so I sent it back & borrowed another that was fine and I am still getting stutters. Newtek told me I was getting stutters because I was using a 9 gig (Mic 1991) in the Standard play, and they Newtek was only reccomending the Quantum 2 gigs for Standard play.

Are you using 9 gig drives and if so are you using Standard or extended Play. I am on vacation now and can't get you the model of my 7 gig exabyte at work. I paid $2500 for the exabyte. I can only hope that it will work when I get updated flyer software. I am using five 9 gig micropolis for video and one 4 gig seagate for sound. I am using standard play and I don't get stuttering. Again, I did have this problem until I went from a .5 gig to a 4 gig audio drive. I went to this larger drive when I discovered a 500 meg hidden file on my 500 meg audio drive. I called Newtek and found that the flyer creates this file when I play my project. If the flyer runs out of room on the audio drive it starts putting audio files on ANY drive it can find, and this was causing my stuttering as it shifted around trying to find its audio files. I have recorded some shorter clips 3-5 minutes in high quality mode and they played back ok. But I hear from this group that longer clips get into trouble. BTW I recorded bars in standard and high quality mode and alternated them in a project. There was little quality difference except for chroma noise in the red and violet region. My finished projects generally go on to S-VHS tape and most of my customers would never see this difference. I do have one client doing commercials on Beta SP. He demands the HQ mode. Since commercials are so short, I have no problem with clip length. If you have an extra toaster handy you can do multiple graphics layering. I record the same clip from another toaster first without graphic keys and again with graphic keys. Then I just mix them on the flyer and add a third graphic level. It seems the only way to keep the same graphic over dissolves and drop on and off extra keys without using the ugly luma keyer.

Sender: owner-toaster@webcom.com Precedence: bulk Okay, here's a stupid question, I know, but I seem to be having tremendous difficulty getting this to work. I have scanned in some logos that are black on white. Using a ADPro or ImageFX, I make a negative of the image (so now it is white on black). Save the logo as a 24-bit iff brush. Load into ToasterCG and make a key page. Key the page over video and I still have a black background. No real surprise there. Load the brush into ToasterPaint (or Alpha Paint, for that matter). In ToasterPaint, select No Background from the options menu. Re-cut the brush and save it. No difference - still have black background on key page. Trying to do this in Alpha Paint doesn't seem to work, either. If I use Brilliance, however, I have no problems whatsoever. I just load the brush, stamp it down, cut it back out and save it as a 24-bit file. Works beautifully - no black backgrounds when I key it over video. Now, how do I duplicate this in ToasterPaint or AlphaPaint? Seems like it should be fairly simple, no? I'm probably missing something easy, I'm sure.

I was doing great with .94 software until I got tempted into installing 4.03. I brought in the same NEC 3Xi CD-ROM drive that I used to install .94 software. I hooked it up to the C2 cable at the end of the SCSI chain, disconnected the audio drive on the same chain, made sure the NEC CD-ROM drive was terminated and set to SCSI id 6. Checked all the cables a dozen times, reinstalled the card, called NewTek support (hah!) etc. Still no go. I had cleared off the old software thinking that a clean install was a good idea. Duh! When the install program got to the point of asking for me to insert ther Flyer 4.0 CD, the system just waits and asks me to retry or cancel. No amount of retry will help. The damn CD-ROM is no longer recognized nor is any other device on the Flyer SCSI device driver. (I checked with Inquire SCSI.) All the cables are hooked up, the device drivers are in the DOSDrivers drawer in the Devs drawer, including CD6. I am baffled beyond any comprehension.

Iv'e sorta bit the bullet and ordered a 4Gig video and 1Gig audio. After the postings about gigantic hidden audio file, maybe that should be upped to 4Gigs for audio?

I tried for months to solve my Flyer problems, necessitating at one point a mother board replacement (damaged by my trouble shooting, not the Flyer), and was finally told my Flyer had a bad capacitor only after I just sent it back to the dealer with no authorization (since no one would give me a return authorization). The replacement Flyer caused the same problems in the computer(s), and I finally after months of effort and badgering convinced NewTek to let me send both the Flyer and the Toaster back to NewTek TOGETHER for operational checks. I was never notified of a recall, and in fact had to almost force them to take the board (NewTek never would take the first one; it had to go to the dealer). I paid for my system in December, and I have NEVER been able to use it other than for the initial short tests after the original installation. Over 6 months is a long time to have that much money invested with no usage! NewTek has now had both boards since 5/26, and I have heard nothing. -- Bob Gould <70263.504@compuserve.com> posted this message.

I had trouble with the Flyer backup program but the lastest release posted on Newtek's BBS and FTP site seems to work great. However, the backup speed is kind of slow, around 200kb/sec instead of the average 700kb/sec of the drives specs.

I'm am trying to determine if it would be worth the $750+ cost. I came real close to buying one of these, but then decided that The Little Magic Box (formerly Y/C++) was a better deal, since it was a seperate unit that could actually be used as standalone or connected directly to the Toaster's inputs/outputs...it also supports component output for BetaSP or M-II decks...and it's also a little cheaper. I ended up getting neither of them because all I really needed was to transcode the Toaster's composite output to S-VHS and found a used TBC+ that does the job quite nicely. An old issue of VTU (late '93 or early '94?) had a very good comparison of both units and they were both about the same quality-wise...The Little Magic Box was definitely a better deal though. To answer your question though, yes, the Y/Cplus only transcodes Y/C signals to high-quality composite...it just bypasses the Toaster's inputs by plugging directly into the Toaster's input bus with a ribbon cable. >From what I hear, if you have a lot of hardware inside your Amiga, the ribbon cable can pick up noise and "Phfft" there goes your high-quality signal. Even though I don't have one, I would recommend The Little Magic Box over the Y/Cplus....but that's just based on research I've done and not personal experience. =) Later.... -David Warner Event Horizon Graphics -- davewarner@globalone.net posted this message.

Right now you can only do this on the Flyer system itself. But ImageFX is soon to release an update that handles Flyer clip processing modules, so you could then move the clip file to another Amiga and process it over there, or just build a Flyer clip from IFF files on a machine that does not have a Flyer, and move it to a Flyer-equipped system for playback. These ImageFX clip processing modules are in BETA stage right now... ,-------------------------------------------------------, / John Crookshank johnc@mcs.com / ( MicroTech Solutions, Inc.

I put the 2 second ending for the purpose of adding a transition onthe flyer edit line it's not long enough. Of course the easiest way to remedy this is to rerender and make it longer but I don't want to tieup my machine. So what I want to do is make a clip of just the two second ending and somehow add it to the original 6 second anim and come up with an 8 second clip. Help. On the stuttering question, I found sometimes on a playback I would get it and sometimes I wouldn't. Yesterday i discovered if I turned on the Flyer first and my harddrives second I got it and if I turned on my harddrives first I didn't. Also if I turn off the harddrives while in the flyer and turned them back on I got it. I hope this helps someone. Lastly, when I first got my toaster about a year and a half ago I had been useing DCTV and found that they weren't compatible on the same machine. I don't remember exactly but I think I got alot of crashing and or some weird colors. Last night on my home machine I rediscovered just how cool dctv paint is especially in light of how much Tpaint/flyer sucks on my 3000. Does anyone know how to successfully run both DCTV and toaster/Flyer on the same machine? Thanks Jim -- Jim Carter posted this message.

Go into fine tune and select cutting room. simply put your sliders together near the end where there is no movement and give the clip a new name "animname-End" and it will save a Flyer Still out. (This does not hurt your original anim clip) Now put the flyerstill clip as the next crouton past the animation and set it's length to whatever you need for the following transition. In the above instance, I would set the outpoint of the animation 1 or two frames past where the movement stops, (00:04:02 in above example) and set the Flyer Still to 4 seconds and VIOLA! Also this is about the only way to get a matching end frame for some animations. The compression the Flyer uses on animations sometimes prevents the use of a regular framestore. (They don't match - color or luminance) Hope this helps... J. David - Video GT -- "J. David Johnson" posted this message.

Just render the last frame and save it as a framestore and put that at the end of your animation. (There could be a color variation however. I've noticed that often the FLYER's animation clips colors don't match the actual program monitors screen when rendering) It's worth a shot. As far as I know, there is no way to combine clips together.

Just render the last frame and save it as a framestore and put that at the end of your animation. (There could be a color variation however.

I currently Laydown clip one and do a split audio edit. Then I scrub thru B & C Roll clips to "lip sync". Pain in the butt. Of couse the original clip settings are easy as I just have to add following clip lengths to it's endpoint and go t0o the next frame, but it sure would be easier if I could set a "Marker" or timecode values that would allow me to set the inpoint of the next clip one frame past the in point of the previous clip. Does this make sense to anyone? Oh BTW. Installed the 4.04 upgrade and the scrolls & crawls work correctly for me, plus you can now set the speed from the control icon! Also the readme says it fixes the save framestore from switcher bug. Haven't tried it yet tho... The overlays still don't work now, but chroma effects sequence well now.

I tried to import into Studio 16 (not the other way). I thought it would be nice to be able to take some Flyer audio and "clean it up" rather than try to edit around flaws. I got lots a noise and clicks, although I could still recognise the sample. The formats must be similar. >What audio format does the Flyer uses ? Good question. I called the Studio 16 people and asked about support for the Flyer format. I got no real answer other than they are talking to NewTek. Call and demand support. The Flyer really needs some audio sweeting abilities. One more point on a related topic... I'd like to be able to to set SMPTE (on my Flyer) to 00:00:00:00 at the begining of my production and have the SMPTE feed out serial B. This would give me: 1. a full running time of my production. 2. the ability to lock other SMPTE equipment to my Flyer ( Studio 16, ADAT, etc.) THEN, I could make this thing fly.

(It scared me cause I had several editing hours in there and needed to make room for a few more clips to finish.) However, after rebooting the files were there with no apparent trashing! WHEW!! Still have a slight stutter on the first clip after a split audio clip. In other words the the first clip plays all audio and when the secong comes in with video, the audio stutters but not video. Also play from isn't very accurate when it comes to audio. I normally lay down my audio with the first clip with a split audio edit, then lay the following clips down with audio turned off. If I play-from somewhere in the middle, the audio is not exactly where it should be (approx. 2 to 6 frames off) Play from beginning works fine tho. Kind of a PAIN as I am lip syncing the clips and have to play from start to get an accurate audio playback. (Get's kinda old after 5 minutes in the project) Also, as I have said earlier, I'd like to see a set to zero feature in the clip panel.HEY WAIT A MINUTE! If I decide where at the beginning of each clip is zero. (camera flash fo instance) I can go into cutting room later and cut new clips that start at the same time. I guess that'll work.

I just finished browsing a copy of Burt Wilson's new book, "Complete Post Production With the Video Toaster". Wow! It's chock full of great tips and tutorials to help anyone who uses a Toaster to make videos or commercials. It even has a sample contract in the appendix! Man, Burt has really put some great information together. He has chapters on negotiating fees, marketing and even how to get into making commercials. There is a lot of real world advice that I can only assume is from the school of hard knocks. I know this sounds like a shameless plug for Burt's book, it is. Burt is a friend of mine and colleague, and I can vouch that he does make great video. You can see for yourself by attending a Los Angeles Video Toaster Users Group meeting. All kidding aside, this book is good. The contract is worth the price alone. It's announced in the latest (July) VTU in the new products column (Burt writes the Toaster Post column). But if for some reason you cannot get a copy of VTU to get the info. Here it is: What?: "Complete Post Production With the Video Toaster" by Burt Wilson. Order from: The Burt Wilson Company 690-A Los Angeles Ave. Suite 303 Simi Valley, Ca 93065 (805) 520-1128 How Much?: $24.95 + $2.55 Shipping (CA residents add $1.80 for tax) When?: Now! Burt said that it is OK, for folks to call, he'll even try to answer your Toaster related questions. Get the benefit of Burt's 30 years of production experience all neatly bundled in a well written "how to" manual for the video production community. No, I don't get a cut, I am just spreading the word. Cheers, Stan Shumlick 2 Tall Video LA Video Toaster Group Flyer SIG director -- stans@gateway.ecn.com posted this message.

After loading ver4.04 I discovered that I no longer had access to CG, Lightwave or TPaint. Trying to use CG resulted in loss of the Flyer function, but Switcher remained active. Trying to activate LW or TPaint resulted in a system lock-up. I also started to lose my audio drive intermittently. I also noticed the odd file popping up where it should not be - LW-config on the desktop for example. In the end, I deleted the NewTek draw and did a complete install. I now have the CG back, but no sign of LW/TPaint. I need more time to play with this! The above was all noted on a A2000 with Toaster 4000/ Flyer/Fusion-40 /16meg/OS2.1, all limping along with 1meg chip. To answer your original question - I experienced the same thing, but it seemed to get fixed with all the messing around - sorry! Cheers - Ian -- Ian Lancaster posted this message.

Although my Flyer has gone into the land of UPS limbo (DOH!), from what I remeber, you can make a Video & Audio clip into a Video Only clip by going into the Cutting Room, selecting the WHOLE clip, and clicking OFF the Audio button. That should make a new clip with all the same video, but no audio track. Hope this helps... -- Joe -- Joe Angell posted this message.

The 572megs of content is all top-notch and the interactive software to navigate through it all is very well done and a breeze to use.

If you do buy one, make sure you get the 8505XL, not the 8505. The "XL" model costs the same, but can use the longer tapes with a 40% greater capacity. They are the same drives, otherwise.

I've actaully used a 3/4" Camera before that had the VTR seperate from the camera -- they were both heavy as hell and had be be slung over your shoulder if you wanted to do any work. The cable was about 6 ft. long -- useless for keeping the Camera and VTR apart during a shoot -- that cabe was as thick as your wrist. So, the idea of NewTek making a system similar didn't shock me too much -- why wait for digital cameras; just buy ANY and hook your Flyer into it! what a great idea... Now docking it directly to a camera would be perfect (too bad I can't afford one of those type... :) ) > Thanks to the list - the Club Toaster CD is great! Yeah, too bad mine was defective...

Sorry, but the only way NewTek recommands defraging (or daoing anything with) thieir drives is through the Flyer 00 that includes files copying to Flyer drives (I once copyied 46 meg onto a Flyer drive and deleted it from the Workbench. Thos 46 megs of files took the other 500 megs of files with them, including an animation that took a week to render...) You could try QuarterBack or BAD, but I wouldn't recommend it. NewTek BBS says that some peopl have gotten the Reorg button to work but many haven't and a few have lost data. My only recommendation would be to edit as much as you can now, dump it to tape (make sure it's PERFECT), re-format your drives, then edit the rest. It sucks, but it works. Ah, just wait until those 1-gig Flyer-speed Viper removable drives come out... won't that be nice... > PS Does anyone know when lightwave in focus is going to be shipping.

Until then, what you have to is pretend you DON'T have a Flyer, do a real A/B roll with VCRs and the Toaster, and digitize that. Not easy if you only have 2 VCRs... A more elegant solution is using TPaint's Cip2IFF or Clip2FStore (is there a Clip2FStore?) on the clips., run them through LightWave using one of the clip's IFFs as the background image and the other clips as a front-projected polygon (lum. 100%, Diff 0%) where the other half of the wipe would be. On the bright side, this looks really cool and you can do neat things like color bordes, ripps and effect like that, but it'll take quite a while -- set it up for an overnight render or something -- if you have the drive sapce for it... All this stuff should eventaully be in a future Flyer version (NewTek BSS Sysop Chuck Baker says), but maybe not by 4.1. I mean that you'll eventually be able to run two clips at once, pull the wipe 1/2 way down, and have it stop there. I don't know if it'll ever be possible to record with a wipe pulled partway down -- I think it's one of those limitations like min. 10-frame clips. Hope this helps (a little, anyway...) -- Joe -- Joe Angell posted this message.

The cable was Ah, the good old days before BetaCam and such. What crews need is the camera of their choice docked to media of their choice - Beta, SVHS or direct to Harddisk as was shown at NAB. The concept of a compact, basic field editing system, as it appears the Flyer/DOS interface may become is great - but choice and portability at the camera end will win over `Crews' who work in the field. No one is going back to camera units conected by umbilicle cables to recorder units - technology has moved past that point. > about 6 ft. long -- useless for keeping the Camera and VTR apart during a > shoot -- that cabe was as thick as your wrist. > > So, the idea of NewTek making a system similar didn't shock me too much -- > why wait for digital cameras; just buy ANY and hook your Flyer into it! > what a great idea... Now docking it directly to a camera would be perfect > (too bad I can't afford one of those type... :) ) There will be some great `buys' in three chip camera heads, all we need from NewTek is a very basic interface - camera video in, digitised Flyer video out plus audio direct to a 9Gig drive. This would all be lashed to the camera head in place of the BetaSP, Hi8 or SVHS recorder now used, and all powered from the body belt. This is the direction the `big boys' are going in anyway, and we should be able follow with our Flyers. > > Thanks to the list - the Club Toaster CD is great! > > Yeah, too bad mine was defective...

What is your SCSI controller? GVP cards come with GVP Expert Prep software, which will flag bad blocks, as does Quarterback (I think) and most other HD repair programs.
