Hey guys i'd like to try doing some video editing on my 8500.

I don't have the AV module on my machine, so I was going to record video with my phone and import it.

I'm not looking for 1080p, just something acceptable for making a basic youtube tutorial.

Avid Videoshop will work fine. Just remember to use the really basic or don't even export with a CODEC at all as 95% of what it comes with hasn't been supported by the modern video player or youtube.

What about final cut? I'd like to do titling, cross fading

Final Cut needs OSX as far as I know. But Avid can do Titling and Crossfading and other effects.

There are other options; Mac Video processing has been around since System 7.5

Thanks for that.

Literally I've done very little video editing before. I maintain my own tech blog and i've been toying with making some video tutorials on youtube. I thought it might be fun to try and make the videos on the 8500. Back in the day it was a pretty impressive machine, so I should be able to achieve something *he says crossing his fingers and toes*

QuickFLIX doesn't look bad. Premiere is probably an option too. Even MoviePlayer 2 can do primitive editing.

Anything above 320x240 on a stock 8500 will be a pain. You can DVD quality video if you use something like a Radius Videovision Telecast, Media 100, Targa 2000, or something similar. AVID card sets need a 6 slot PCI Mac. You will also need a fast SCSI setup.

Not to say it will be usable on your hardware, but Final Cut Pro 1.x requires Mac OS 8.5 and a 266MHz G3. I've read that it would install and run on a 132MHz 7600. FCP 2.x requires Mac OS 9.1 and at least a Blue and White G3. FCP 3.x and Final Cut Express 1.x are the first to run on OS X. I managed to get a Mac OS 9 version of iMovie running on my Performa 6360. It was horribly slow, but it did work.

That's why I suggested Avid VideoShop. It was packaged free with the Apple A/V kit and comes with a decent amount of documentation.

As I don't have the AV module on my powermac. What would be the best way to get video to the machine? I'm thinking recording in lowest resolution on my phone or camera and then transfer it via USB. So maybe mpeg or mpeg2 format? Sort of like a video cd quality.

Install the editing software first and see what it will import and work with.

That boardset is from an AVID machine?

The first (three) boards is Truevision, the second (two) boards is Janus and some chips is marked "AVID". I don't know the exact model...

I think the AVID boards have a custom BIOS and add-on boards (not sure Truevision drivers work), and the secondary cards only work with AVID software and that needs a dongle to work.

The Nubus retail version of the Targa 2000 even has different in/out ports then the AVID version.
