Were C64's used in editing video like the Amigas - also need Amiga keyboard?

[Syd Bolton]

 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!
