Was just a hobbyist but don't remember anything like the Video Toaster per say for the SGI. There is Lightwave 3D, and some of the Discreet stuff on it. Also Maya3D I think it was? One of the other 3D packages. You could do titles in 3d application then either genlock it or telecine it? I think most of the uses for the SGI stuff were either 3d rendering type applications, high resolution paint box type stuff for re-painting frames, high rate HD editing type stuff? Maybe color correction. Also Telecine (scanning frames from film for editing then the frames are re-recorded to film, like removing wires from hanging actors or something?) Not condoning piracy but there was a number of IRIX apps on The Pirate Bay. Almost all of the software would be legacy at this point. I know one of them (was it Maya?) made a free license for hobbyists on the PC editions but wouldn't generate the keys for the IRIX editions. Adobe premiere existed for the SGI as well, but I don't think SGI was ever a video editing powerhouse since it could be done with cheaper computers and didn't need the SGI capabilities unless it was high resolution / high IO? - Ethan -- Ethan O'Toole
