Not sure about the C64, but back In the day we used an Atari 800 as a character generator for our high school local cable access channel. It output a pretty stable colorburst frequency so you could connect it to broadcast equipment without genlocking it unless you wanted to overlay it with another video source. Maybe you could do the same with the C64. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 4:53 PM Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

"Was the Commodore 64 ever used for video editing like the Amiga Was"
Same question was on cctalk just now.
Of course I know that the Amiga with a VideoToaster and its video switching
and generation capability is NOT going to happen with a C-64 but, what
about something with just simple machine control running the VTR/VCR
through either an IR signal or conversion of the commodore's RS-232 serial
into RS-422?
Looking for something commercial or an easy to build project form the
C-64's heyday.
VCF East exhibit?
