From what little I know, it uses the interrupts of the 68000, and has to
be EXTREMELY timing sensitive in order to do this.  The 68020 is a
different processor, so the timing will be totally different (I'd even
assume it would be different for different SPEEDS of the '020 and '030,
right?).  From what I hear, there is a new version in the works of the
viewer.

I concur!  I used Provideo Plus for over a year and a half everyday, and
while it could use a little more scripting ability (for automated
inserts and moves or block moves), I found it generally easier to use
than something like a DVideo interface with the mouse (or for that
matter, Broadcast Titler's interface).  I guess it wouldn't have been
bad to include both mouse and keyboard input, but that would have
defeated the purpose of the program:  To get screens called up with
hot-keys at an instant.  I was really impressed with the program, and
urge you to work with it.. it grows on you.
