Wondering if anyone has tried to loop videos in Pd.

I can see how I'd probably make it work by capturing the sequence of frames I want in the loop and then feeding that back to run them continuously, but what if the film is not in a digital format? That is, from a webcam or from video being fed to Pd from something else; i.e. no frame numbers!

Perhaps [pix_record], but I'd rather not wait for the file to be totally written. Basically what I'm thinking is a video version of an audio sampler/delay, where I can grab samples in real-time and loop them on themselves continuously in a given amount of time.

Maybe it's time for another bit of software...

if you can feed the output of [pix_delay] back into itself, shouldn't that work?

Check the help from [pix_buffer] it works like

i use pix_record

thechainsaw, just came across this topic. Have you managed to make this work for Pd? It sounds very similar to something I'm working on and I'm struggling at the moment.

Cheers.
