Hello!
i did not know, that you wanted to playback HD-material.
with HD material, i notice problems as well, also with the mjpeg codec.
anyone having experience with fullHD and other codecs?
under OSX i found, that apples ProRes 422 codec works best for that
matter. The only thing being, that its comes with final cut.
right now, i am running a show, where i use mjpeg in 720p resolution
with no problems for simultaneous playback of 3 videos.
cheers, peter

So, I reduced the resolution of the files from 1920 x 1080 to 800 x 450
with the Apple Photo -Jpeg codec and now I have no lag.
The loss in quality is of course noticable, but tolerable...
Thanks again for you help,
Stephan

Hello!
what video codec are you using?
in my experience, a big issue when playing back video with gem,
comes from the codecs and container, resulting in extreme differences in
cpu-load.
i found, that mov-container work way better than avi-container, even though
the same codec is used and packed in the container.
try converting your videos to a motion-jpeg codec packed in a
quicktime-mov.
you could use mpeg-streamclip [1] for that purpose on win /mac machines or
ffmpeg on linux.

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.
I can attach the patch if you like, but I probably will not be able to
send the video clips as one attachment.
Best regards,
Stephan

What is a shader, and how do I use it?

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...
Also, what can I do if I want an additive blend instead of a normal
cross-blend?
i would use a shader for this.
it offer great flexibility, even if it's a bit harder to begin with.
but that's the way openGL wants you to do now.

hello,
Gem is mostly design to work on the GPU, and not on the CPU.
GPU have hundreds of core, they are faster than CPU for image
manipulations.
pix_add come from the 20th century and should now be avoid since it
use cpu not gpu ;-)
in order to make a fade transition between 2 videos, you can use
transparency on one video.
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.

Hello,
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?
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?
Best regards,
Stephan

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