<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Recently
there has been a lot of call on this list for a Gem video mixer, I
myself have been one of the ones calling for it. For any one out
there interested recently I have made one that seems to work, and
created a videomixer.pd file that uses it. I want to thank Chris
Clepper <cclepper@artic.edu>, for his tutorials and helpful
suggestions. My patch has no tutorials or explanation, so I
would encourage continued development in this area. In addition,
it is somewhat of a CPU hog, because it uses the [pix_texture2]
object, so finding a more efficient method is something to look into.
It is also a little messy, but moderately experienced Gem users
should be able to decipher it. You may download it from:<br>

know what you think, preferably off list. Also if any of you are
in or around San Francisco, it would be fun to have a little
conference/get together</font></blockquote>

<div>That's pretty much one of the two methods that I will present in
the video mixing tutorial. I plan to post it sometime this
weekend.</div>

<div>The patch shouldn't require too much CPU since the video card
does all of the blending. Out of curiosity, what platform, CPU,
GPU, movie size and codec are you using? The codec can make a
whole lot of difference in performance. After I get more of the
tutorial completed, I will write some docs on how to get the best
performance out of GEM including info about codecs, graphics chips as
well as techniques to optimize patches.</div>
