Episode 67 - Video Toaster Adventures Part 1

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am starting on my NewTek Video Toaster Tutorial series. We learn a bit about the Video Toasters history and how to set it up, and play with some fun effects and dabble in Toasterpaint and the Character Generator. I am recording this to OBS this week so I can simultaneously display the Preview and Main Video Toaster screens, as well as a view of the Video Toaster main screen. My Capture card is causing a second or two delay on the main screen. I will try to find a way around that for the next video.
