You’re probably too young to remember the same sentiments in 1990 when the creative community was worried that 1) video would kill movie theaters 2) corporate secretaries will be creating videos on their desktops 3) OMG VideoToaster! [the hysteria lasted about 2 years, then everyone tired of Kiki]

I think they were originally meant to burn up but the effects would have been way more intense including things like additional lighting so they just went with the ole' reliable post videotoaster skeleton turning to ash instead but the stake still goes with it, most of the time.

The Video Toaster quietly democratized computer graphics.
Real-time switching, 3D, motion graphics — suddenly accessible on a home machine.

This reel is a reminder that today’s CG workflows stand on some very brilliant shoulders.

Here is another Computer Chronicles post in memory of Stewart Cheifet 💙Computer Chronicles wasn’t just a tech show — it was a time capsule. Week after week, it documented the moment computers crossed from labs into everyday life. From early PCs to game-changing tools like the Amiga Video Toaster, it showed us the future before we knew how big it would become.The Video Toaster flipped the script — real-time graphics, broadcast-quality video, and creative power suddenly accessible to individuals, not just studios. A revolution hiding inside a beige box. 🎛️✨Before Will Wheaton, Todd Rungren & Penn & Teller got on board, there was Video Toaster being demonstrated on US TV shows like Computer Chronicles. And Stewart Cheifet — steady, thoughtful, and endlessly curious. He didn’t chase hype. He asked smart questions, respected the audience, and let the technology speak for itself. Because of him, learning about computers felt exciting, not intimidating.#ComputerChronicles #StewartCheifet #VideoToaster #Amiga #RetroComputing

"This is the goo room"

*camera zooms past the door frame of the goo room; cuts to face of the bear foley artist*

"There's a lot of goo in here.."

"Go ahead, walk on the floor!"

*goo SFX* "yuck! It's kinda gross sounding"

"Yeah..."

"Out we go, then"

Dick Van Dyke wasn’t just a TV legend — he was an #Amiga & Video Toaster power-user 🎬💾
A look back at how he used #LightWave 3D for real TV & film production 👇

Dick Van Dyke y el Video Toaster
Aunque es conocido que el actor era (o es) usuario de Amiga, muchos solo lo sabíamos por algunas fotos publicadas en redes en las que aparece con una chaqueta con la Boing Ball, pero resulta que ex…

Here a better quality version of the video www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX5N...

Otherwise, easy choice. Lightwave was originally an Amiga program, CGI for Babylon 5, X-Files and others was done on Amigas and they were used for a long time in TV production. Scrolling text, overlays etc. See Videotoaster.

Back in the day we had Videotoaster and we was happy.

Ok one more, This one makes me giggle as we did ship this. The effect was called "Fingerwalk" as we were so damn creative. (Yeah, Addams Family)

I would love to see some old local cable tv video that actually used this as it would make my day.

Here is another non-shipped Video Toaster transition. A Christmas tree effect that I can't remember why it never ended up in the release software.

It's been fun converting these old files to work in After Effects.

Spent the morning recovering old unused Video Toaster video effects from my original Newtek dev environment.
Prompted by me remembering there were a bunch of effects never got shipped for various reasons.

This overlay was just called "HBO!"

I’m like, 90% certain this was done in videotoaster. A very Amiga video editing software.

Man, the memories. Thanks for sharing this one.
