The video flyer used external scsi storage for content I believe, kind of
a separate computer inside the Amiga?

No, C64's were too limited (8-bit) to do anything video related.
However, video production was actually possible with the Amiga 1000 as you
could get the Amiga 1300 Genlock, and the Amiga itself always natively
produced composite video ....real true non-linear editing with the computer
itself however was really only done with the Toaster Flyer unit (the Video
Toaster itself just produced video effects/titling and came bundled with
LightWave 3D).
I used to be a Commodore dealer, and the NewTek (Video Toaster) distributor
in Canada, so if you need any info hit me up!

Were Commodore 64's used in editing video like the Amigas were to any
extent?
Looking to figure if there is an overlap area in yet another area of
our displays we can do between computing and video production.
We have a Amiga, 2000 desk top type, with a video toaster in it that
needs a keyboard and factory mouse!
Can anyone help?
