You must have toured MCTV then...they've used Amigas for a long time - but
they still use those crappy Quantafont machines for a lot of their work.

Yeah, sure. One of the power points of the Amiga is that it produces video
signal directly and has lots of efficient software dedicated for video
working. I've made some experimental videos with Amigas equipped with
genlocks at a local video workshop. We made some simple animations with
Real 3D V2 and mixed them with live video track. Then we got some modules
from a friend of mine which were mixed to the background.
