There were a LOT of people doing TONS of video stuff with it *before* the
Toaster.. The Amiga was originally designed as a video game machine, but
turned into a "real" computer after the video console wars died out.  

I did video titling and effects (no genlock or overlays, though) with the
normal NTSC composite video out on my Amiga 1000, for a high school "weekly
news" show.
