Our department would like to provide visitors with about 8 short (3-5minute) videos that would be selected from a CD and play to a monitor in our lobby. Visitors would select play selections relating to areas they would like to tour. We have a good video camera, free access to twin deck video editor and CD production facilities, a MacII(with 8 megs of ram, 40megHD, and Hi-Res Apple monitor) which is connected via the eithernet to a Stardent Titan, a Sun System and a VAX. I would like to take live action videos of students working in various labs and superimpose titles, maps, arrows, animation, moving flow charts etc. over the top of the live videos. It seemed logical to acquire software and perhaps some hardware for the Titan or the Mac to accomplish this but students here insist that the Amiga 2000 with something called a "toaster" is the way to go....at lower cost with better results. Does anyone have experience with such a set up and could you suggest what software and hardware to get?
