Video Toaster Flyer: Source Code Released
On www.openvideotoaster.org the source code for the Video Toaster Flyer by NewTek has been released as a gift to Amiga users. Previously Amiga Video Toaster Flyer Character Generator and Toaster Paint had been released.
Newtek was founded in 1991 by Tim Jenison and partners. Their Amiga Video Toaster enabled the production of video at drastically lower prices than the studio equipment that had been available until that time. In 1994 came the Newtek Video Toaster Flyer, tapeless processing hardware.
With this gesture by Newtek, opening the source code, the world doesn't just get the first video production system in a box. It gets the first open source realtime video processing system for the Amiga.
The Amiga Video Toaster Flyer Character Generator supports among other things Postscript, Real-time Scrolls, and professional-quality crawls and titling of live or pre-taped videos and static pictures.
ToasterPaint is a 24-Bit paint program with tools for drawing, coloring, tinting, blending, and warping of pictures. (snx) (Translation: dm)
