Of course!  Ingenious!

However ... I tried it, and, even though the frame count output of 
pix_record churned out frame numbers, the resulting file was only one 
frame long and that frame only showed one of the geos.  I even made the 
priorities of the various geos' gemheads explicitly lower and it still 
didn't work.

I can't figure out why that particular geo registered -- none of the 
geo's were connected to pix_snap.  That's the intention, right?  I also 
tried connecting several of the geos to pix_snap and the results were 
still the same: the movie had only one frame, which contained only one 
geo -- even when that particular geo was the only one which was *not* 
connected to pix_snap.  So the connections were irrelevant.

I assume it has something to do with rendering/buffering, but I don't 
know enough about those.
