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.

So Amiga was capable of doing video in 1984 already? 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.
