I'm doing a project that is taking a live feed of a dancer, putting it through a threshold to only have the silhouette, and projecting it at different time intervals, to create multiple shadow-like figures repeating the dance movements just performed.

I have the threshold and delays no problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to have multiple versions of the same live feed, playing at different delays in the same GEM window. I tried using the pix_mix but it only shows the one single delayed projection.

Do I need to change the opacity? How do I do that? Or is there a better way to do this?

I am no expert at the video stuff, but I imagine using multiple [gemhead]s might work

Recursion , checkout claudius maximus' tutorial. Do you need each instance to be moving, or are these still grabs?

you need a delay line, maybe [pix_buffer] or similar would do the trick? i've never used that though
EDIT: oops i should read more carefully - sorry

multiple [gemhead]s and [alpha] [colorRGB 1 1 1 0.5] (last value is alpha) are probably the way to go

whoops, this is with a prerecorded clip....

I think you COULD do it with pix_buffer or pix_buf..... You could just buffer the last n frames.
