Cool article

Pretty cool...
What is flame, fire and inferno?? I'm guessing that some sort of high-end editing packages or something, with stupid names?

INFERNO (http://www.discreet.com/products/inferno/)
They are all basically compositing programs made by Discreet. Some (all?) of them tied in with some uber-hardware to do some pretty crazy things. Kinda like NewTek's Video Toaster in that regard.. =)

Thanks minus, they really need to get over the fire thing with their names... smoke, flint, inferno, fire, flame, combustion. They must be a bunch of pyromaniacs at discreet!
I guess newtek's toaster is named to associate itself with their products??

Nope, the original Newtek Video Toaster came out over 10 yrs ago.

And Discreet's product carry a hefty price tag to boot....$500K to $1 mil....They are sweet when you see them in action though
