i've been using a patch on windows in pd extended .39.3 that uses pix_data to extract color info from a video playing in pix_film. the patch works fine.

however when i try to use the same patch on the mac, pix_data is spitting out very large rgb values for every pixel (over 100/150 rather than between 0 and 1). however if (on the mac) i plug pix_image into the same pix_data object, it works properly, spitting out the correct rgb values (between 0 and 1).

i've tried this patch on about half a dozen or more macs both intel and powerpc using old and new versions of pd extended, all with the same result and it always works fine on a pc.

i'd really like to get this working on a mac.

is this a bug w/ pix_film? anybody have similar issues/resolutions?

Hello.
I have a different problem regarding the same objects.
I'm completely new to PD (primarily use MaxMSP) and downloaded the last intel build of PDextended to try and get into visual things with PD and GEM.
I found a brief tutorial for a video mixer on YouTube and can load PD and the GEM objects just fine, but it keeps telling me there's not such object as pix_film. Possibly related?
By the way, I have Leopard installed on my Macbook Pro.

EDIT:
I should add that I could load the help file (and use it with no problem) for pix_film.

sounds like you've got a different issue from mine. if [pix_film] is loading in the help patch, then it sounds like the libraries are loading. not sure how to fix the problem, but a workaround would be to open the help patch, save it as a different patch, then delete what you don't need from it and build your objects in that patch.
