Hi Max,<br>
<br>
Cheers for the quick response.<br>
<br>
tbh, pix_film is the reason I know the pixel dimensions already:)<br>
<br>
Would you mind explaining in a little more detail - which objects and how?<br>
<br>
I am unclear on the relationship, say, between [rectangle 3 2] and
320x240 pixels, and again how that corresponds to [translate] and the
numbers I am putting in the inlets 2 and 3 of translate. For example
when I increase the 2nd inlet of translate (magnification? sorry I'm
not in front of pd atm) my 2nd avi movie moves in a north easterly
direction from within the gemwin and I don't understand why?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>

pix_film does output the dimensions of the movie in pixels when a movie is loaded. Assuming that the movie is in square pixels (which is the case if you are using screenshots and webcam movies) this allows you with a couple of objects to automatically scale the rectangle it is textured to to fit the right aspect ratio.<br>

Avi 1 is an odd shape - w432 h768 - (it's approximately half of my laptop desktop recorded with RecordMyDesktop) and avi 2&3 are recorded off bog-standard camera's, so are 320x240. The larger file is on the left of my gemwindow with the 2 other avi's to the right, one above the other. I have added the widths of film 1 and film 2 with little borders which gives [dimen 762 768(. I can move the files around and get an approximate fit moving between each [translate] and [rectangle] but I get the feeling there is a more rigorous approach.<br>
