Hi, I'm trying [pix_set 8 8] | [pix_crop] and whatever width, height and offset I give pix_crop it doesn't crop at all. Am I missing something, is it a bug, or is pix_crop meant to work only with image and video data (such as coming from pix_video, pix_film, pix_image etc)? thanks m. _

[PD] random oscillation between two values

2010-08-22 Thread Matteo Sisti Sette
Hi, In my patches (especially in visual ones) I often need some value to randomly "oscillate", or change smoothly, between two extremes, at regular intervals (e.g. change every frame). For this purpose I often use filtered noise: [random] followed by a filter of the kind y[n]=a*y[n-1]+(1-a)

[PD] how does frame seeking work?

2010-08-23 Thread Matteo Sisti Sette
Hi list, I've always wondered how seeking works when reading a video file that is encoded with a variable bitrate. I understand that, if there are I frames and P frames, it always has to seek the last I frame before the frames you need to seek and then decode from there, but even so, how does
