Hi. My sister is preparing to buy a new Mac with insurance money from
a previously-stolen one. She and her friend want to do a little video
production with it, for a business which distributes tutorials. For
example, they want to take video footage (either filmed or possibly
created on the Mac) of a drawing of the digestive system, and animate
the passage of medicine through the system. They also want to add
titles, etc.

I don't think this is extremely high-end stuff, and they'd prefer not
to spend $10,000 on a system. (Under $5000 for hardware and software
combined, if possible.)

I know very little about the requirements for this. My inclination is
to say they need at least a IIci (or one of the forthcoming multi-slot
Macs), and can start with a low end frame grabber like videospigot.
Perhaps they need a special (multisynch) monitor and something to
synchronize the NTSC signal with the Mac?

I'd appreciate any recommendations. If anyone in the vicinity of
Akron, OH is willing to talk to them, please contact me.

Thanks,
Ralph
