I bought a 15550N recently for about $1300. I plan to use it on a PVR sometime
down the road. I believe the sustained xfer is 5.5MB/sec, good enough for
highest quality on the PVR or Flyer.
I was demoed Speed Razor MachIII last weekend. The guy sorta knew the software
but I really didn't see what I wanted to see in the 1.5 hours I spent. What
I'd like to know, and didn't really find out:
Are Keying effects stackable? Can I Chroma Key a sequence and then use a
Motion/Distortion effect to move the keyed object around? My $1400 decision
depends on the quality, ease and speed of doing this sort of thing.
