Old Video Toaster wipes possible in Pro?
I am in the process of “upgrading” my old college projects by digitizing the ancient footage (before the tapes go bad) and re-editing them in Premiere. I’d like to recreate some of the old Toaster wipes for nostalgia’s sake. Specifically, the fire wipe and the “filling up a glass with liquid” wipe. But I’m sure I’ll come across others as I work thru all my old stuff.
Is there a collection of Toaster wipes that I can plug into Premiere? Or any tutorials on how to make new ones? I can do this in After Effects, too.

NewTek transitions wont work in Adobe products. I recently saw a demo of Speed Edit and many of the old toaster transitions are included, but the presenter mentioned that the original transitions are available and will work in Speed Edit.

See if you can track down a copy of Elastic Reality Transjammer. I’m a little hazy on this, but I think it came out in 1994 or so, and Avid bought it in 1995. You might be able to find it under either company’s name — the product was otherwise exactly the same.
There are many, many Toaster wipes in there, including the falling cows (hooray!) and the dancing girl silhouette wipe, aka the Kiki wipe.
Among the reasons for the similarities: the developers had previously worked at Amiga, which was the Toaster’s original home.
Now having said all this, you have to have a floppy drive to even try and load Transjammer. 🙂 And of course I have no idea if it’ll actually still work.
If not, I believe that there would be a market for any of you creative types to rebuild these…although dwindling as more of us who recall Toaster are dying off….

That would be a fun blast from the past! But I doubt I can afford it just for sentimental value. It would be great if someone made a bunch of the old stock wipes from solid blue to solid green (or white to black) so we could key them over new footage.
