I was editing footage (slowly!) on a bog standard Amiga with the infamous 512K slot in board underneath (woo-hoo, ONE Meg of RAM), the capture card (vidi-chrome was it?) and a genlock. It never locked up (that often), and you were limited to a very short time indeed. We managed somehow, sometimes with quite interesting results. The A1200 was a vast improvement.
Blimey, how things have changed.

Amazing. And weird that "desktop video" didn't work back then. I guess the world just wasn't ready for it yet, I think it was only the 90s that the big masses got video-cams and started to get interested in video-editing.
