Hi, this is my little patch for doing a mix beetween two videos, done with Gem..

Who can tell me how to fix this little problem?

When the crossfader is showing the video on the left side, and in the while I load a video in the right side, the video that is playing freezes for a short time...

yeah.. I know that there's some project like this, but it's more exciting making YOUR patch!

it´s a really little freeze, i never work with video before but i think it´s a delay of the hard drive. to fix this i suggest some kind of buffer to protect the showing video.

i will study more about this and make some tests with your patch.

first of all, thanks so much for interesting..

then.. I tried to send a "buffer 2" message to gemwin.. but it seems if doesn't fix the trouble...

which codec do you suggest to use? I'm using quicktime's mjpeg codec (.mov) and I think is a "light" codec for the cpu...tried on osx and slackware (..yes I LOVE slackware )

Hey there.
I am encountering the same problems....may it be loading obj files or quicktimes.....
the buffer message didnt seem to do anything either....
have you found the problem already. if so let me know.....
thx
