[PD] How to capture sound & video from Pd/Gem

[ALAN BROOKER]

if you don't get anywhere with [pdp_rec~] another alternative could be
to try the gridflow objects [#to_pix] to connect a Gem scene to
gridflow -- then connect to [#record] to record the scene. However I
don't think it records sound- check out the Gridflow help index and
files.

Personally I have not had much luck with recording in Gem, as
mentioned I output tiffs to combine into a movie file...any sound I
record separately and add later using a video editor.

A bit of a pain but at least it comes together in the end. ..except
IMHO the only really good video editor (Kdenlives) loves crashing .
Next best thing is Pitivi
