hi,

i'm trying record the Gem window but i don't know how continue. i've searched in the forum and in the lists but i haven't found revelant information. I've several gemheads rendering and i record all of them with pix_writer, but i would like record the final mix (the Gem window) too.
is there any way without external programs to PD?

I need to preview it in the GUI and to send over CITP/MSEx (one lighting ethernet protocol) to show the preview in remote controllers.

Regards.

you can capture a snapshot of current scene by using [pix_snap], give a look at the help file. if you want to capture an animation, it is still possible but things get a bit more complicated.

thanks for the answer, i will give a look. I'm trying capture only 4 fps...

Finally i am doing the preview outside PD, in the GUI, and i am sending over ethernet directly and showing in the GUI at the same time. I think in this way i'm saving resources and in Qt is very easy do it.
