[comp.sys.amiga] PC/VCR Integration

sigrid@geac.UUCP (Sigrid Grimm) (12/14/87)

Hello and SEASINGS GREETONS -

I am new to both the comp.sys.atari.8bit group as well as the comp.sys.amiga 
group. From what I understand one/both of these machines has the potential 
for what I need to do.  I am hoping that someone out there in net.land will 
be able to help me figure out what is needed for the following:

  -hook up a VCR to a pc
  -organize, access and modify video content (ie. on a "frame-by-frame" basis)
  -superimpose graphics (free-hand and text) on video content
  -integrate sound (e.g., narration/music) with video/graphics content

So what you would end up with is sort of like one of those movies you see
in highschool science class where there is a mixture of people in labcoats
talking, "live footage" of some phenomenon and then some graphics superimposed
on the "live footage" which the narration/music describes, etc. 

I saw a commercial on TV awhile back of a guy who is raving about how he can 
make his own "music videos" etc with his machine and how you can't do that 
with a Mac (or something). I don't remember the name of that particular 
machine but any help anyone can offer will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thanking you in advance...
Sincerely,
:-)
