No. The reason Video Toaster is mentioned so frequently is because its
one of the best products (especially for its under $5000 complete system
cost) available today for ANY production studio.  However, the Toaster
is only one of many Video and Animation products.  

For Video, there's software, and software/hardware combinations.
    - Deluxe Video III
    - Deluxe Productions
    - The Director
    - etc.

One hardware key for VIDEO (processing/editing) is the genlock.. an
inexpensive little device for the Amiga that allows you to overlay live
video on computer graphics, or vice versa.  Then you have the various
brands of Time Base Correctors, Editing Suites, etc.

For animation (not necassarily video production) you have VERY GOOD
products at inexpensive prices such as Vista Pro 2.0, Imagine(one of the
best), Art Department Professional, Scenery Animator, Scenery Generator,
Genesis, Deluxe Paint IV, DigiPaint 3, and many MANY MANY other
products. Just pick up an Amiga magazine sometime... they even have some
Amiga magazines dedicated to only video or graphics.
