I am learning Final Cut and Motion at the moment. Its been a long time (other than regular use of iMovie). Last time I used a substantial editor was Adobe Premier Pro 6. Oh and I did use After Effect version 1
Good on you @WeatherguyNH, I bought the whole pro suite. My original background is animation, pre computers, hand drawn so I’m looking forward to getting into Motion and providing more services to my clients.
I had a ZX80. I remember hooking it up to my TV. Also remember entering some Basic programming statements, but can’t remember what it was and quickly hit the 1k RAM limit.
You are older @Jerry. My first computer experience was the C64. (Excluding consoles like the VC4000 I think it was, my grandfather owned that, and I remember playing tanks with my siblings in the 80s)
yes I did too, staring at wonderful colored stripes on the tv I think for hours, until Turbotape came, then everything became faster!!! half an hour good times, less chaotic, I think I feel pretty old now
I think the first “computer” I owned was a TI 99/4A.
Texas Instruments…had a cassette deck that came with it for “saving” things.
I had no idea what to with this computer. Began reading about BASIC.
I watched my brother spend about 2 days programming a bouncing ball on the C64. He followed the code out of a magazine. Of course turning the machine off you lost everything.
In the early 90s I taught myself to program in Amos Pro on the Amiga. I made a classic pong knock off as you do.
I remember we were a bunch of kids every week collecting money to buy a C64 Magazine with a gaming cassette tape included. So the wealthiest of us who owned a double tape recorder was making copies for the rest of us, a sort of primitive net sharing
Haha. I remember the BBS days and ASCII art. I had a small BBS. But it was only accessible if I went online. No dedicated landline at home.
My first modem was 2400bps, it had dip switches to configure and no manual, I spent days trying different combinations and calling my friend to connect. But it got my BBS running.
