Thanks, it works now. For some reason, turning "auto" on and off (with pix_film) causes the video to lag temporarily, but I do not have this problem if I use line-objects to go through the frames. The cpu-usage goes above 100 if I have more than two videos playing at once, but I suppose I don't need more than two for this project...<br>
<br>Also, what can I do if I want an additive blend instead of a normal cross-blend?<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 10:16 PM, Cyrille Henry <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ch@chnry.net" target="_blank">ch@chnry.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Gem is mostly design to work on the GPU, and not on the CPU.<br>
GPU have hundreds of core, they are faster than CPU for image manipulations.<br>
<br>
pix_add come from the 20th century and should now be avoid since it use cpu not gpu ;-)<br>
<br>
in order to make a fade transition between 2 videos, you can use transparency on one video.<br>
add a [alpha] object after Gemhead, and send number between 0 and 1 in the last inlet of the colorRGB object to make the video appear / disapear.<br>

Hello,<br>
So, looking at the help file for [pd~], it seems to be primarily for audio. How can I use multiple cores to work purely with GEM?<br>
I am trying to have a simple transition between video clips, but if I have two instances of pix_film and then connect them to pix_add, the CPU-ussage skyrockets well above 100... is there a more efficient object for blending two video clips?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Stephan<br>

Pd will only use one core, and one core for the GUI. There are ways to<br>
distribute the load over several cores, e.g. [pd~] or use several<br>
instances of Pd that communicate with each others:<br>
