I too wouldn't mind having a look at the original Videoworks for the 68000. I'd love to see how it runs on my Mac512. Any PMs would be appreciated. Thanks.

I actually sent a PM to this barana fellow immediately following his second post in this thread. He never responded back to me, which indicates some kind soul gave him what he wanted and then he fled our midst. What a shame!

Videoworks would be cool to have (I have an app called movieworks and it is vintage). Before Photoshop took over photo editing and Premiere took over video editing there were a bunch of titles for the 68K macs for doing those tasks (digital darkroom being one that competed with photoshop that I own).

How feature complete was digital darkroom compared to Ps?

Would have to read the box to see, it is very old and B&W only I think (for compacts?).

Is that double-cough a sign of too much Tetris playing or an indicator that you were the "kind soul" who PM'd barana and coughed up the much sought after VideoWorks?
If not you then clearly somewhere else among us has a copy, otherwise I doubt that barana would have made the statement he did in his second post above (which means he would still be posting here, which he is not now).
Therefore, to you Kind Soul, I appeal to thee! Have mercy upon us and bless us with your glorious copy!

Macromind was formed in 1984 and released "Videoworks" for the Macintosh 128k in 1985. The first incarnation of "Director" did not come on the scene until two years later, just after VideoWorks II was released in 1987.
Later versions of VideoWorks and Director have zero appeal for me. I myself am solely interested in the original VideoWorks that operates on 128k of RAM in black and white. Is there no one among us who possesses such?

Don't worry TetrisMaster, I was the kind soul too, and sent him Director 3. 😉

A very kind soul just emailed me the original "VideoWorks Ver 1.00" (dated May 4, 1985). I received disk images of two 400k disks. I've not yet run it on my Mac 512k, but under vMac it runs fine under System 7.1 and System 6.0.8. And when I boot using System 1.1 and Finder 1.1g and then launch VideoWorks, it switches over to the System Folder on the VideoWorks disk 1 just fine.
I must say that this is very impressive for 1985. Motion and Sound. The demos on Disk 2 are pretty slick too (for the time).
I am happy to make this available to anyone who PM's me.
