Can someone please explain what resolution is acceptable to
produce commercial quality animation with an Amiga? In other
words is 640x400 good for videotape. What other hi-res options
are available for use with Amiga? I am interested in large
screens and many colors. What comes with the Amiga out of the
box and what do you need to purchase that is extra.

Thanks in advance.

With one of the AGA Amigas (1200 or 4000) you can record direct to videotape at
1280*400 NTSC and 1280*512 PAL (plus overscan)

These modes both work in the Amigas HAM8 mode, which allows at least 262144
colours on screen from the full 24-bit palette. If you don't want to record to
tape, then you can use 800*600 or 640*1024 (interlaced) on a VGA or multisync
monitor.

The A1200 and A4000 come, out of the box, with the ability to produce all the
above outputs.

Hope this helps,
