- Well, the Flyer isn't the keyer - the Toaster takes care of this. But,
- that technicality aside, the Toaster uses only Luma keying. I'm not sure
- what the video specs are for the internals of the Keyer. There is also
- an Alpha Keyer built into the CG program. This will allow you to create
- CG pages with semi-transparency (looks really good).

- I really can't say for sure how to incorporate the keying into the flyer
- since I don't own one, but I imagine that you could play a clip from one
- drive, key a graphic over it, and then record that clip back to the other
- drive. This "drive-to-drive" trick was explained to me by a NewTek rep
- at a trade show, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's not incorporated into
- v0.9 or even in 1.x.
