Interesting, but I'd imagine it would have been a waste considering that the most affordable pro video tape of that time was SVHS and Hi8, all the rendering quality would have been lost. I'd imagine after the Amiga died you'd have had buy an SGI machine or a cheaper NT machine.
@TVperson1 Actually the most used formats ware Betacam and digital Betacam (digibeta), before that there was u-matic, which looked horrible. S-VHS and Hi8 were not used in professional environments.
I heard this guy doing the narration for an older History Channel special the other night.
Speaking of Toaster work, I think I know of at least one non-Topeka TV news open produced on a Video Toaster (KATC, 1995 — look for Various TV newscast opens and promos part 76) — the flying text reminds me of something from the first Toaster demo (specifically a WIBW open we have no other video of).
I was lucky to get to use one of these systems for a couple of years in middle and high school... The amiga got abused and by about 1997 it clunked out because of someone turning it off and on like a light switch and the harddrive died. But for the time it was amazing. I say i'm lucky to have gotten to use the older systems because it gave me an awesome understanding of editing at an early age with tape based systems and now i look at final cut like a big tape array in my head. weird.
@Paperclown I do not have a video toaster or an Amiga. I was just saying, as I 13 year old, I realize how cool this was, cause this was the big bang for home computing animation, the video toaster was.
I honestly, love the Video Toaster, for the Amiga. I am only 13 and I realize how for most people, who are watching it for Nostalgia reasons, or here to put some facts about it, I realize how cool this was, like someone said this was like the Model T or computer editing actually, you're probably gonna correct me since I am a 13 year old but actually this is the Model T for home computer animation. Then next in line was probably Macintosh/Apple then Windows.
Wow, I miss my Amiga. I was never rich enough as a kid to own a Toaster and Lightwave. (My 1200 is still in my closet, I may dig it out this weekend!)
I was just on a webpage talking about VJ's and how the Video Toasters (2000/4000) is still being used. 20 years later!!! Not many things in the technology world can say that.
Lol I remember Kiki Stockhammer on the back of my Amiga world magazines
@pyrolimeade The intro/product demo track is Lords of Acid, "Rough Sex". Which I'm willing to bet has never been in a product demo before or since. Dunno what's behind the Tony Hawk bits.
All toaster products were amazing but unless you're talking about the Flyer, comparing final cut and Avid etc. to it is like comparing a blender to a dish washer. The toaster was purely a video switcher with an amazing paint package and CG. The Amiga it was in was nothing more than the power supply and memory for the hardware. It was the Amiga's timing which matched that of NTSC video to give the perfect match. Of course that was all useless without a few expensive TBC's loaded into it.
You can still get a video toaster. Just not for the Amiga anymore.
Newtek seemed embarrassed by the Amiga. While their hardware/software was incredible, Jenison admitted that it couldn't do it w/o the Amiga.
Game machines and modern computers are still "discovering" things the Amiga was doing 20 years ago. (like the PS3 "move" controller... immediately reminded me of Mandala on the Amiga).
I love this promo video. Newtek has always pushed the envelope of graphics hardware. Their presentations are always impressive going back to the Newtek Amiga demos.
I used to have this tape but I lent it to my film instructor at Pasadena City College in '96 and never saw it again.
I was actually at the official rollout event back at NAB 93 in Vegas for this, I worked for an Amiga/Toaster dealer at the time and we traveled there to see what was new. I remember the crowd cheering with each new feature and actually, I have video of that event that I should post someday.
It was the first time this promo was shown.
I still have the Video Toaster 4000 mousepads they gave out :)
Wow this brings back memories. This box was huge for our company and got us into some large clients back in the day. I still have the Toaster sitting in my basement at the office...haven't fired it up in 12 years. We went from the Toaster to the Pinnacle Aladdin, which now that I think about it...is also in the basement.
I can't understand , how Commodore waste an Amiga . The first true multimedia and multitasking , powerfull machine in the world . Was allways ahead ...... Thanks for this video .
You are talking about iMovie and Final Cut Pro but they can't do 3D, this old ass software and hardware can beat iMovie 09 and Final Cut Pro... try to do 3D and see if you can... lol
To Wil Wheaton: You have every right to be proud of your role in the company because it truly was a product that in it's time quite literally changed the world! You would also be surprised how much world history was changed simply because some guys & gals in a basement used YOUR PRODUCT to make a statement, to influence and to SHOUT out a viewpoint via this TV-Station-In-a-Box - The Video Toaster. Thank You All at Newtek for giving US the chance to make and SHAKE some world history!
Well, I worked for NewTek when I did the video, and they gave me two of the best years of my life, where I got to live right on the cutting edge of some technology that I absolutely loved.
So I got that, which was ultimately more valuable and lasted longer than any material thing would have.
And we all had floppy hair because it was the style at the time. Well, what passed for style, anyway.
@Navstar100 This thing started it all. NLE's have a come a long way, but the Video Toaster was like the Model T of computer editing. Putting it in the hands of enough people to show what it could do and ingniting the imagination of all of us who could just not quite afford it.
@wilwheaton Newtek was at least 10-15 years ahead of the competition. THis is another case where one just shakes his head and says, "What happened? These guys should be bigger than IBM/Apple combined?". I think the lesson learned is that excellent engineering never guanrantees sucess or money. There is something more to it....
@wilwheaton hah, man, you said it not me. But hell, how many of us get to look back at our childhoods and don't think about what a damn idiot they were.
I dunno, for what it's worth, all the other adds from the era sucked ass too.
... Unless you are penn jillette, then you never look like a complete ass.... maybe that's because he sets out to look like a complete ass. What can you say about a guy that calls his show bullshit?
I can count more than a thousand (!!!) times I saw this video before buying a toaster. It is A SHAME there is nothing like it nowadays. Even from Newtek.
Like it or not, the Amiga set the standard for todays modern PC's, they use similar hardware to the Amiga, certain chipsets modelled on Amiga chipsets, the video toaster has become intergrated into modern PC's, FX like Ray Tracing, None Linear Fog can be found in Modern PC Games, Commodore didn't know how to Market and lost out on the CD ROM Drive to the PC Market, that's what killed the Amiga, if they got there just a little quicker than IBM the PC would still be a useless box that beeps lol
Oh God!!!!.... I think I used all of those effects in High School!!! and I was the only person to ever get the Toaster to work and turn on .... Hands down one of the best video products I have ever seen in my life for video editing and switching!
Uh,wrong: "The Flyer used a proprietary Wavelet compression algorithm known as VTASC, which was well regarded at the time for offering better visual quality than comparable Motion JPEG based non-linear editing systems.
I never get the big joke when someone laughs at old technology. "Oh, 640k of RAM! Yuk, yuk, yuk!" "Hardee har har, Video Toaster vs. Final Cut today!" If you were there, you still appreciate how powerful this stuff was back then.
I don't agree. The advancement in computing technology is exponential, not linear. That, and "obsoleteness" is relative.
Those two things mean a machine that's currently 9 years old, like the PowerMac G4 tower I'm currently writing this on, will be more useful than a 9 year old machine 9 years ago, et. al.
Still, my point was: I just don't understand why people are inclined to chuckle, as if it's a joke. It's a silly part of "geek culture".
@Navstar100: I ordered an Amiga 1200. After watching about the Toaster 4000, will I be able to create videos just like the networks? Amiga 4000's are too expensive.
And narrated by none other than Ken Nordine... he used to do all those cool Levi's spots in the late 80s-90s (with the compressed 2nd voice comments.) Yeah the Toaster was duh shizz if your production facility couldn't afford real TV equipment... and if you weren't careful, you'd blow out a main resistor and have to drive it to Atlanta to be fixed. Yeah, that was me.
You STILL cannot plug in four different input sources into iMovie or Final Cut Pro and have realtime BROADCAST quality outputS (note the plural outputs!), but the 1990 Toaster can. Now what software is STILL the joke. Yes, that's right iMovie and FInal Cut pro.
Man I remember this stuff. I interned with none other than Brad Carvey throughout the nineties and he showed me so much of this stuff. It was so fast compared to the older stuff.
Something I also want to point out here - some of the effects with the edits here are a royal pain to set up in final cut or premiere - you need after effects, and hand animate, and blah blah blah.
I remember when i get my hands in a videotoaster 1000, it was like magic.
In those times we did edition with cuts only. Pobably we had one of the first units in Mexico, and it put us in a grat pisition besides other companys.
a switcher, a CG, 3d animations, paintbox... wow...
