| 4843.1 | will try with | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | | Mon Jun 24 1991 07:52 | 6 |
| I plan on trying Pro Fills with TV Text Professional this evening. If
they work well together it will be great. Also on the list to Try are
Pro Video Post, BroadCast Titler 2, and I'd like to map some brushes
in Imagine.

| 4843.2 | Profills works for me | DECWET::DAVIS | you always get what you deserve | Mon Jun 24 1991 13:18 | 9 |
| I used the Profills 'tile' hexagon to brush map a floor in Imagine. It
looks quite good. I will have to rediscover dpaintIII and figure out
how they did their title page. Profills is a great bargain for those
who do not have the time or inclination to build high quality
backgrounds and fills from scratch. I have used some of their patterns
to create backgrounds for use in 'Simgen'. Works great! Now if only
I could get a GOOD marble texture.

| 4843.3 | marble most requested | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | | Mon Jun 24 1991 13:36 | 5 |
| The people that did Pro Fills had a tutorial in Avid magazine. They
stated that Marble was one of the most requested textures(Pro Fills 2
is in the wings) but they could not include it because it has to be
applied to a whole screen to get a realisitc texture.

| Avid is The Amiga-Video Journal. It is a small mag 30-40 pages printed
in 3 colors?? and printed on what can best discribed as a good quality
newsprint. However I read it for content. The May 91 issue was sent as
a sample(get one every time I buy high end video software). It also
contained
Dabbling in dpaint- fading logos in & out
More toaster tricks- inside tips for video toaster
Imagine revealed- Focusing on animation
Great Video backgrounds- Understanding the fundementals
Using Pro Fills - professional techniques
how it works - video tape recorders
ADPRO- a review.
Now they also have coverage of Pro Video post, and seem to favor the
developers of high end Video, graphics etc. Always a tutorial on dpaint
and specials. May's was video toaster in the 3000.
I consider it expensive at $36.00 a year but will subscribe
shortly. I let my amigaWorld die off and will put the money into Avid.
Avid has more meat in it's 40 pages than two amiga worlds. No glitz,
same ads every month but at least I learn something every month.
call (408)252-0580 for a free issue,and info.

| 4843.6 | correct number? | DECWET::DAVIS | you always get what you deserve | Tue Jun 25 1991 18:30 | 7 |
| Are you sure that is the number? I called, no one was home, but got an
answering machine. It sounded like someones home phone number judging
from the recorded message. It was in two languages English and
possibly French. I left my name, number and message anyway.

| 4843.9 | It smacks of elitism but | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | | Wed Jun 26 1991 08:15 | 12 |
| With the purchase of two new Imagine Products, I seem to recall they
were mentioned in Avid, with a hint of supporting articles to be
published. They were Map Master, and Surface Master(covered in Imagine
note). I mention this because it appears Avid draws it's article
base from a small but elite group of amiga artists to the point of
almost being biased. You will see the same names, and products pointing
to one another over, and over. After awhile you get the impression that
they all play golf together. I noticed that Pro video Post is given
a lot of press with Broadcast Titler given mention only grudgely.
However considering the status of the contributors, and content of the
articles I have no choice but to subscribe.

| 4843.10 | AVID over here in Europe ? | DECAUX::VNATIM::HELMUT | I can C clearly now, my brain is gone | Wed Jun 26 1991 08:30 | 8 |

Does anybody know if there's an European publisher for Avid.
It would also help if anybody could publish the name and address
of the stateside publisher.
Thanks.

| 4843.12 | I got the April '91 issue | DECWET::DAVIS | you always get what you deserve | Wed Jun 26 1991 22:31 | 25 |
| re -.3
I picked up the April issue from a local dealer gratis. I called
Avid and they are going to send me the May issue to help me decide if I
want to subscribe or not. I got more 'nuts and bolts' information out
of the April issue than I've gotten from all of the Aworld issues
this year. The April issue has a great tutorial on developing an
animation in Hi-Res 16 color for a commercial. The animation has to
fit on one floppy. It goes on to describe animating a logo in
DpaintIII. What I enjoyed about the tutorial was the methodology and
the real world problems encountered getting the project completed
within the deadline. The issue is 32 pages cover to cover. I am using
one of the techniques described in the issue in an Imagine scene I'm
creating. The rest of the magazine covers:
TBCs & Toasters: A buyer's guide
How it works: Picture resolution and frequency
Toaster Tricks
Pro Video Post: hints & tips
DCTV: An In-Depth Review
2D Modeling: A DpaintIII Animation Project
Not bad stuff!
