Video Toaster - computer magic anno 1990

submitted by lavoll

1 decade 5 years ago

A fun look at the Video Toaster for the Amiga computer, amazing in 1990 :) And if I read my history books correctly, this program was behind CGI magic in the first season of Babylon 5.

I think you're thinking of early versions of Lightwave 3D, also made by NewTek.

[edit] After watching the rest of the video, I see that they have Lightwave incorporated into the Toaster software, my bad.[/edit]

Lisa: OK, I finished editing the gardening sequence. . .
Homer: OK, from here we star wipe to a glamour shot of Flanders paying his bills, then we star wipe to Flanders brushing his teeth. . .
Lisa: Dad, there are other wipes besides star wipes. . .
Homer: Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?
Lisa: I'm taking my name off this thing.

Holy shit, I haven't seen that screen in a LOOOOOOONG time. We had an Amiga 3000 with a Video Toaster, Lightwave, DTV and Deluxe Paint III. Sadly, our video production business never got off the ground, but it did get me into a career doing computers. Thanks mom!

*vintage by computer-age standards, imo.

Adding video to channels (Vintage) - requested by garmachi.

Computer Chronicles FTW! Loved that show when I was younger. Does anyone know where I can get its theme song?

Oh and I used that program on Amiga in the 1997/1998 for a video editing class. Man, it was hard to use!
