I notice that people can't give away Amiga Vision on eBay, Amazon or other places. Does no one use this software any more?
I use Amiga Vision Pro, still with excellent results. IIRC the standard Amiga Vision is pretty good too.
Does anyone here still use this software? Obviously this is no big deal, it just piqued my curiosity.

I have it but I don't use it. :-(

Hecks yeah!!
I used Amiga Vision to do some MM slideshows with music back in the day before MS invented powerpoint.

Easy to use and the learning curve wasn't too bad either.

[davideo]

Me too.

Had and still have great fun with it.

It's surprising what you can do with it. 8-)

I have always thought it was quite easy to use, and very powerful. I suppose people are not putting together presentations on the Amiga much anymore, but it works great for an information terminal.

I don't think Commodore really marketed it much. IIRC, it only came with the A3000, not with the 1200 or 4000.

I was just looking at my disks last night, and I want to load it on my 4000 and see if it supports AGA or if I can use it with my Picasso II board. I doubt it, though...

The "Professional" release, AS251 (in a box), officially supports AGA. Don't know if the A3000 release (AS250, the one in the huge binder) will simply work in ECS mode, or not at all, on an AGA machine.

I've only recently discovered Amiga Vision. Haven't learned to use it yet, but hopefully I'll get around to it soon-ish.

Someday I want to recreate the flow editor as a means toward editing source code for some sort of rapid application development tool. I liked the way that having an icon to the lower right of a nestable icon was considered to be inside the outer icon's scope. Kind of like Python.

I installed mine on my recently acquired 4000 the other week and although it ran it wasn't in true AGA and would only run in standard Amiga graphics modes. Although that could be the cheap graphics card I've got in it

Is the the Pro version? It should work fine with AGA. The "regular" Amiga Vision will not - it will only run in ECS

It truly is surprising what this program is capable of.

[davideo]

No its not - although I have got an unofficial Pro version.

I'll have to stick that on and play with it instead 8-)

I used AmigaVision 1.53 Revision G on my A2000HD for several years. Had lots of fun with it, and really enjoyed using it.

This version of AmigaVision starts up ok on AmigaOS4 on my MicroA1, but is somewhat finicky when I try to create a program or run the tutorials, I visit the "grim reaper" alot. The "Picture Show" tutorial works ok with the July2007Update of OS4.

Works fine if I fire up the AmigaOS4 version of E-UAE and run AmigaVision ontop of that emulation.

@ redfox

I use OS 3.5 and 3.9 with Amiga Vision Pro, with no troubles at all. I didn't know it had issues with OS 4.
