Strata Videoshop 3.0

[pee-air]

I was looking through some of my old MacAddict CDROMs and I found this little gem. It is the full commercial version and it looks like it might be an interesting piece of 68k Mac nostalgia to play with.

I tinkered with it for a bit and haven't quite figured out how to use it. So I guess I'm going to have to read some documentation or something. I don't imagine it will serve too much practical purpose though, being that it's quite old and lacking many modern features.

Anyone have any experience with Strata Videoshop 3.0?

Stata videoshop is the same as Avid videoshop (purchased by strata). It is meant for capturing video using A/V Macs or 3rd party hardware and editing it.

They went on to make strata 3d videoshop for PPC machines.

It was Strata VideoShop, then it became Avid Video Shop, improved a little bit, then bundled with the Avid Video Kit for Performa 6400/6500 and their AIO kin.

Version 3.0 is FREEWARE! Woohoo!!!

It's supposed to have a VideoShop PowerPlug for use with PPC Macs. It's a library of PPC routines that speed up VideoShop on those machines.

I used to use it with an 8100 with a Radius SpigotProAV. Nice software, beats Premiere for its price ($0). ;D

I was playing with it last night. It's kind of interesting. I was playing with the tutorial clips that came with it. Mostly just fiddling with some of the transitions. Unfortunately, it's just a bit too slow on my Quadra 700 -- which has now found new life as a dedicated word processing/faxing/jouranlling machine.

Perhaps I'll setup one of my old PCI PowerMacs for some primitive video editing. I don't imagine I'll accomplish much with it, but it'll be fun to pass those boring hours that we all happen upon from time to time.
