Q & A on the new Video Toaster & LightWave 3D Report
Miller Freeman, Inc., publisher of Digital Video Magazine, 3D
Design, Video Toaster User and LIGHTWAVEPRO will announce this
week the joint development of biannual, special reports for Video
Toaster User and LIGHTWAVEPRO subscribers that will be called
Video Toaster & LightWave 3D Report. These special reports,
will supersede the current monthly issues of Video Toaster User
and LIGHTWAVEPRO and will launch this spring. A joint press release
from Miller Freeman and NewTek is planned to go out on Friday,
October 25, 1996 announcing this and other new media strategies
from NewTek, Inc. that support Video Toaster and LightWave users.
The new Video Toaster & LightWave 3D Report will focus on
the specific products, tips, techniques and industry news that
readers and advertisers have come to rely on from Video Toaster
User and LIGHTWAVEPRO.
The following are questions we anticipate readers will be asking
with regard to this change:
A: The new spring and fall reports will be a special section,
bound into Digital Video and 3D Design Magazines.
A: The January issue of Video Toaster User and the October issue
of LIGHTWAVEPRO will be the last.
A: At this time there are no plans to do so since NewTek, Inc.
and Miller Freeman, Inc. have developed new media strategies to
serve the needs of this evolving market.
A: The intent of these new strategies bring a broader level of
information to Video Toaster and LightWave users through Miller
Freeman's focused, in-depth, biannual reports in Digital Video
Magazine and 3D Design and a Web publication from NewTek, called
NewTek Studio, that will capitalize on the timely and interactive
nature of the new medium.
A: After the first of the year, if you are a Video Toaster User
subscriber you will receive a letter from Miller Freeman, Inc.
asking you if you would like to fulfill your current subscription
by receiving monthly issues of Digital Video Magazine which will
contain the new biannual, Video Toaster & LightWave 3D Report.
With the letter you will also receive a copy of Digital Video
Magazine.
If you are a LIGHTWAVEPRO subscriber, you will receive a letter
asking if you would like to fulfill your current LIGHTWAVEPRO
subscription by receiving monthly issues of 3D Design Magazine,
which will also contain the new biannual, Video Toaster &
LightWave 3D Report. With the letter you will also receive a copy
of Digital Video Magazine.
A: Your money will be cheerfully refunded. Although, we believe
you won't want to do so once you see the great information you
can get with Digital Video Magazine and 3D Design but the choice
is yours.
A: It does not effect the conference or expo. In fact, there is
still time to register to attend this exciting, yearly event.
Call 1-800-643-3976 to register. You won't want to miss attending
this year as there will be additional information about NewTek's
new media strategies announced at the conference.
A: For subscription information for Digital Video Magazine and for 3D Design call 1-800-998-0806.
