The pdmtl abstractions have gems.movies~ to sync/play audio files with movies. You can also use gems.movies with a 0-1 signal snapshot~ed to the frame input (in relative mode). Both abstractions will loop movies and audio files simultaneously, meaning, that if the audio is shorter than the movie

Hi Conor, a few things: 1) I would check every single setting in Qjackctl against the ones you use in the command line, maybe there's some difference. 2) I would doublecheck how Qjackctl is called (i.e. do you start from commandline or menu bar, and if menu bar then how is it actually being ca

Internally, objects like pix_image and pix_film set flags for whether an image is new or not. This tells other objects to update. Perhaps a generic object (pix_info ?) can output when that flag is set. pix_share is a little different than image loading as it just dumps a new image into the gemli
