1176.0. "what have you done with home-video?" by CORE::KAYE (Be seeing you) Tue Feb 16 1988 23:44

    Greetings,
    
     I am into home video and after buying 'Videomaker' have seen that
    the Amiga finally has Genlock. I'm looking to see what kind of things
    people have been able to do with the Amiga and video and what kind
    of results they get. So, give me a small report.

    PS I'm in Ottawa, Canada and am looking for someone with an Amiga
    to give me a demo (not necessarily with video).
    
    PPS I have a Sony 8mm camcorder & Tuner/Timer, HF900 VCR, Sansui AV99 SEG

    I don't have a genlock, but I did see it demoed at the MARCA
    show before Commodore finally shipped it.  I liked the reasons
    they gave for buying a genlock.
    1. so you can watch the Celtics game without straining your neck flipping
       between a TV and Amiga.
    2. he pointed the camera at a small child in the 2nd or 3rd row,
       then started up DeluxePaint, added a couple new features to the
       face on the screen.  Didn't take too long before the child noticed
       who was on the screen.

    What is the minimum hardware to do any serious home video?
    Can i do this sort of thing with an Amiga 500 (1Meg,1 floppy) +
    genlock + software? Should i subscribe to AmaigaWorld, or is there
    a better magazine for the home video buff?
