hei,<br>[pix_buffer] stores your images (or videos) in your memory. But as you mentioned, large videofiles will take maybe too much memory. You have too find a balance between the size of your videos, ableton and the memory.<br>

pix_film works fine. I never had a problem with it before. I've done a VJ app that worked great. But I never used it for a very long time. Now I need something to be mixing video on the background for more than an hour and pd crashes after 5/10 minutes.<div>
In my previous script, it could run for longer than that, without a problem. that's why I'm thinking the constant and fast opening of files might be doing some harm (that's what's new in the current script).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Using one pix_filme per movie is something I'm contemplating. The problem is this: I'm gonna be generating visuals for more than 8 tracks, each track with more than 5 clips per layer. I'm affraid this will take too much memory!</div>
<div><br></div><div>I got 0.41.4-extended-rc4. The first time I runned it, GEM wasn't loaded but it looks now is ok. I thing some stuff was
missing but now I'm unsure. I'll try with it and will give some feedback later.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the help</div><div><br></div><div>Daniel<br><br>--- On <b>Fri, 6/12/09, Hans-Christoph Steiner <i><<a href="mailto:hans@at.or.at" target="_blank">hans@at.or.at</a>></i></b> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div><div>Another solution could be to check if I'm pressing the same midi key so I won't have to load the video again. This might help me make the video loading less intensive.</div><div><br></div><div>
