There's probably not going to be a video for another week at least, because I have decided to start tackling the Video Toaster. Please pray for me.

I have the feeling I'm going to end up producing over four hours of material on this subject spread across several videos, because it is tremendous, it's very hard to say anything at all without qualifying it due to the atrocious state of documentation on this stuff, and even picking a place to start is hard.

If anyone out there has scans of the actual manuals for the Amiga Toaster 3.x software, please get in touch. You'd think they would be online, but I assure you, I've scrubbed the entire internet: it's just people uploading the same two PDFs under different names. Every link that looks right is actually for either 2.0 or 4.0, which are vastly different from the 3.2 I'm running. This is just one of the many reasons that development on this script has been slow - even the simplest questions end up taking hours to answer, and I have to drive to the studio every time I want to test anything.

I'm hoping it'll be worth the wait. Thanks for watching!

Looks sick as fuck though, all the best!

There's a physical manual for 3.1 on ebay for $70. It looks... a lot(!)

Sam

Good luck! Take your time - it'll be worth the wait!

ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh we're getting a CRD take on Toaster! It's like Christmas! 😄 Never seen any YouTuber take it on, and I've always been curious about it. Thoughts and prayers 🙏 if anyone can do it justice, it's you.

I'd pay extra just to see you edit the entire video with a video toaster

I'm looking forward to this one since I've used some dedicated video editing equipment like titlers and DVD-RAM editing decks. I'm not sure how much modern software development you do, but you'll be happy to know that mobile SDKs still call ephemeral messages which render on top of apps "toasts".

Perhaps you could reach out to AmigaBill from The Guru Meditation YouTube channel. They've done a lot with the toaster. If anyone can point you to the right docs, I bet AmigaBill can.

If there a reason to use v3 and not v2 or v4? I'm not very familiar with this product and I feel like I'm missing some context.
