Amiga Commodore

After looking at multiple pieces of equipment, I landed on the fact that JJ's blog actually talks fondly about the Amiga Commodore, a computer system that was used for gaming and daily life but had a program on it called a Video Toaster that took live footage and distorted it within the computer.

I'm sure now after watching the demos for the Video Toaster softwares on youtube, that the Video Toaster software is definitely the thing that was being used a lot in the 80s. While The Commodore was used for everything under the moon (making titles, backgrounds, games, etc) the Toaster software was used for adding that extra edge to videos.



So knowing now that Video Toaster is how people made these frame by frame freeze effects makes me wonder how many other videos use this effect?
If the Video Toaster was also similar to a Slit Scan and had the same features?
