Expensive gear does have some disadvantages though...
I was at an edit today at a big facilities house in Covent Garden
and we needed to transfer some stills from a Macromedia Director
presentation to video. The facility could do this using a Mac
linked to a Quantel Harry, but it was busy with another client.
(can't have 250 grands worth of gear sitting around doing nothing
for too long...)
I cycled off with the Mac hard drive and hooked it up to my Amiga
running Shapeshifter, grabbed the screens, cropped and scaled them,
imported them onto the PAR and output to BVU SP. Got the tape back
