As I've seen AmigaVision on the Amiga90 fair it uses about 600K
fast memory + 40K chip memory for the screen. This leaves about
200K free on a 1Meg machine for your data so I won't use it for
displaying animations on a 1Meg machine but slideshows, user
interaction and sound should be possible on a 1Meg machine if
you don't care that each part has to be loaded from disk.
