Editing mid 1990s style
It’s alive! I’ve been tinkering with this one on/off for a number of years. It’s gone through several revisions, multiple repairs, but it’s just about done, until something breaks again. That’s how it goes with vintage gear. A labor of love.
A Commodore Amiga 4000 nonlinear video editing system, running with a GVP T-REX-II processor card that has a 50MHz Motorola 68060, 128MB of RAM and SCSI-II that will push up to 30MB/sec. There’s an additional 256MB on a RAM expansion card and 18MB on the motherboard. The MacroSystem Retina BLT Z3 24bit graphics card is running in 1024×768, it’s capable of 2400×1200. The VLab-Motion capture/playback card will handle full SD resolution NTSC or PAL video at full frame rates in 24bit. The Toccata audio card is 16bit 48KHz stereo. Both cards are also by MacroSystem. The media volumes are split, one for video, one for audio. Each on it’s own 4GB CF card partition in a Microtech dual-card SCSI drive.
MacroSystem followed up this editing system with their higher-end DraCo in the wake of Commodore’s bankruptcy. So, I’m calling my set-up Daenerys. The Mother of Dragons seemed appropriate for this predecessor.
I plan to do a series of videos showing how I built it, what’s necessary, and how to use the MovieShop editing software.
I’ve done two basic videos thus far:

I just posted another video using the MovieShop nonlinear video editor on my Amiga 4000. Various music libraries are now offering music tracks in layers, giving you greater control and variety. This video covers using this new option on my vintage edit system:
