Syd! thanks,,.. is the Toaster Flyer a board inside the Amiga? it may be
there...
Did you save any promotional material etc? Thins like that look good in
a display with the gear.
We also need to scrounge a keyboard and a mouse
.

No, C64's were too limited (8-bit) to do anything video related.
However, video production was actually possible with the Amiga 1000 as
you could get the Amiga 1300 Genlock, and the Amiga itself always
natively produced composite video ....real true non-linear editing with
the computer itself however was really only done with the Toaster Flyer
unit (the Video Toaster itself just produced video effects/titling and
came bundled with LightWave 3D).
I used to be a Commodore dealer, and the NewTek (Video Toaster)
distributor in Canada, so if you need any info hit me up!

keyboard?
Were Commodore 64's used in editing video like the Amigas were to
any
extent?
Looking to figure if there is an overlap area in yet another
area of
our displays we can do between computing and video production.
We have a Amiga, 2000 desk top type, with a video toaster in it that
needs a keyboard and factory mouse!
Can anyone help?

It was a card inside, yes.....but you didn't typically have a Toaster &
and Flyer in the same machine---you had one of each.
I have lots of material still from the day and there is of course good
examples of it online.
Keyboard & mouse are tougher....we have them at the museum, but not
really any extras. It is one of the most common requests I get from
people - there are adapters to use PC keyboards (and mice) on the Amiga
but of course that's not authentic :)
eBay may be the only route for getting that - at least if you need to
do so quickly.
Also you can try http://www.jppbm.com/ - he carries a lot of hard to
find Commodore stuff.
