That reminds me of VBS -Video Backup System for Amiga. I probably still have it somewhere in a drawer. http://hugolyppens.com/VBS.html http://hugolyppens.com/V

  The old Discrete Flame/Fire/Inferno systems would store backups of its sessions to tape. At the head of the back up was black and white static that was the data for the project. It would then lay down as actual video all of the mattes used in the comps as well as the actual video clips used. I only ever saw this on D1 tapes. Not sure if that's just because that's what was used, or if the uncompressed vs compressed format of DigiBeta could be used as well. Good lord, how I don't miss the bad old days of early digital computer video formats and the nightmare of pushing the boundaries to make it happen. All of those hard drives clickety-clackety pushed to their limits to record SD!!!! Now, I have an external bus powered SSD in a shell slightly larger than a cigarette lighter that can do 8K resolution video. Early 90s vs 2020
