    Hehe remember that hardware for the AMIGA... what was that called again? They used it on some sci-fi series didn't they?

    A lot of TV companies have their own in house stuff.

    Well if I remember rightly Lightwave was used for B5 (that Babylon 5 to you none initiated ) and there was a dodgy as hell programe called Seaquest DSV that keeps being repeated on SciFi they used something Amiga Based.
    It was an Amiga4000+ tohugh - nicely running AmigOS 4.54

    Yeah - something like that!
    I think the Amiga cersion was a HUGE box that plugged in via the expansion card slot on the back - like the ones they ahd on the C=64.

    I'll have a look

    i doubt premiere is used at all...that's dirtass video editing software, not for effects...

    a lot of production houses will use discreet's tools, which include inferno, flame, flint, and combustion...
