|
The October meeting is over and we had a few new DEC members.
One message I got was, the direction got them there but they were
very bad. I'll try to post more detailed directions.
The BBS is running. It is a Amiga 500 with very little storage.
The club is working on a plan to add a hard disk with more storage.
The next meeting is Video editing and production and the December
meeting will show an Amiga 3000 and a demo of Workbench 2.0 . This
may also include a demostration of Profesional Page.

| re .1 don't be so hard on yourself Steve, the directions weren't
*_TOO_* bad, we were just kidding. Since I was the one giving you
the static maybe I should try to help with a better map, here's an
edit with a couple more landmarks:

People arrive between 7:00 - 7:30 the meeting takes about 90 min.
and people hang aroung and talk till 10:00.

Can anyone give a review. I really wanted to go but couldn't.
I've got Bars & Pipes but would like to hear about what others
are doing with it or what other people think about it.
thanks in advance,

November meeting Wednessday 14th
( see note .3 for directions )
Video Editing using the Amiga
by Steve Peters
The Amiga is the machine of choise in video production. The
presentation for the November meeting will show an Amiga based system
that was designed for video editing. The system includes an Amiga with
a supergen 2000 genlock, multiple serial ports, a Future video EC1000
edit controller, 2 panasonic AG1980 VCRs, and a Cannon A1 camcorder.
The main function of video editing is to select scenes or
segments and combine them to create a new video. This system allows
the user to control the VCRs and Camcorder from the Amiga, save edit points
and sequences, modify the edit list, and control the production of the
result.
The software to control the system is still under development. In
the future the software will be extented to control the genlock,
play Amiga animation and synchornize MIDI sounds to create the video. The
demonstration will show how these extended features will be added and
used.

January Meeting Wednessday 9 th
( see note .3 for directions )
The January meeting of the Worcester County Amiga User Group
( WCAUG ) will be on Jan 9th at 7:30 . This month the meeting will
show some PD software and nominate/elect new officers. Since there
are no new nominations and all the current officers are running I
expect the election to be very very short.
The Febuary 13th meeting will have a video Toaster demo.
The March 13th meeting will have a CDROM demo.
The April 10th meeting is our Games meeting.

Note that Plantation St. is not at a right angle to Route 9.
Note that the U Mass Medical, here shown in French, is West of Lake Ave,

| 4184.10 | Meeting tonight ? {"tonite" ?} | ULTRA::BURGESS | Mad man across the water | Wed Jan 09 1991 11:27 | 11 |

"French" ? eh ? or just "non-american" ?
Anyway, looking out of the window here right now I'm
wondering how practical it will be to venture out tonight. Is there a
"hot line" for WCAUG meeting cancellations ?

WCAUG doesn't have a hot line but you could call the BBS and leave
a note for the SYSOP. The SYSOP has the meetings at his house. I will
check on the meeting later today and leave a note ( maybe 4:00 or so ).

What kind of inputs are you feeding into the toaster? Are you
going to have any Time Base Corrector at the meeting? I just bought a
FOR-A 300 TBC and want to known if it is compatiable with the toaster.
Phong Tran,

| 4184.14 | | ELWOOD::PETERS | | Mon Feb 04 1991 15:50 | 8 |

I'm not sure what equipment will be at the demo. The DEMO is
being given by a local AMIGA dealer ( The Bit Bucket ). There is
an executive board meeting this week, maybe I can get more details.

I missed the meeting on the toaster. Could someone attended the meeting
tell me what your thought on the toaster. Thanks.

| 4184.16 | A meeting tonight ? Dunno. | ULTRA::BURGESS | Mad Man across the water | Wed May 08 1991 16:09 | 7 |

My calendar says its the 2nd wednesday of the month - but I
don't remember if there is any agenda. I think Steve is a t DECUS, I
don't know who else to ask.

| 4184.17 | Meeintg tonight ...( NOW ) | ELWOOD::PETERS | | Wed May 08 1991 19:27 | 12 |
|
Yes, I'm at DECUS. There is a meeting today ( Wed 8th ). The demo
is MIDI music, ( I think using Bars and Pipes ). There was going
to be a midi Saxaphone and other keyboards.
Next month I will be demonstrating Animator Journeyman from
Hash Enterprizes.
Also the club cookout / pool party in comming soon.

| I saw the demo. Only about 6 people were there. But it was good.
Bars and Pipes beat **** out of the sequencer I bought, which
crashed twice while I showed it. Bars and PIpes never crashed.
Bars and Pipes musical display is kind of typical, spacial
proporational notation, and the tape recorder buttons are common,
but the expandable set of tools that can be inserted into any
lines of music, and cause lines to influence one another,
are very modern, giving B &P a video-game look, and intuitive
use (drag a tool icon onto a gray piece of pipe, so the pipe
is replaced by the tool icon). It's too much for me to buy just
now though. Darn.
I wouldn't call it object-oriented, though, which I had guessed it
might be.

The Worcester Users Group is meeting tonight ( 9/11 ). The

tape from HASH enterprises. The tape is a animation made on the
AMIGA using Animation Journeyman. The tape was shown at SIG Graph.

CBM authorized repair shop ). He will discuss getting your Amiga
fixed, What breaks, what it costs, Warranty, upgrades, tech tips.
