Hi Peter,<br> I am using the apple intermediary codec in .mov format. Someone here on the list recommended it. I was unable to convert to motion- or photo-jpeg. The conversion would be almost done and then interrupted by an error message.<br>

A more urgent problem: Although the CPU usage stays under 100 (peak is around 84 with three videos overlapping), there is a substantial amount of lag. If I turn off video processing, a command that should be executed after 30 seconds via the cue list is executed punctually. If I turn it on, the command is 11 seconds late.<br>
<br>I can attach the patch if you like, but I probably will not be able to send the video clips as one attachment.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Stephan<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Stephan Elliot Perez <span><<a href="http://dreamoftheshoreofanotherworld@gmail.com" target="_blank">dreamoftheshoreofanotherworld@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

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></div>
i would use a shader for this.<br>
it offer great flexibility, even if it's a bit harder to begin with.<br>
but that's the way openGL wants you to do now.<br>
cheers<br>

hello,<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>
<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>
