[PD] Further GEM rendering problems

[Jonathan Goodwin]

Hi Max,

I know that I can load the movie directly using the file path, but I've left
the open panel there for testing currently. Thanks for the tip though...I
need as many as I can get!lol!

Any thoughts on why GEM isn't working with multiple sets of GEM objects
though?
