Hey @millSkipper I'm really not sure how I missed your message. Thanks for keeping that file uploaded. I've checked it out and still just trying to deconstruct what's happening.

Do you happen to have a version that doesn't use [knob]? I know it's been deprecated since Pd-Extended.

I'm also working on an update to the software which will allow a user to play any number of images and have the all sync to a global clock.

The object you're after is [pix_mean_color]

If you use [pix_alpha] you can achieve the effect you're looking for.

Hi Michael,

Welcome to this forum. Did you try the following terminal commands explained in this page below?:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eighthave/pd-extended
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pd-extended

If I recall, that's how I installed it on my Linux Mint 17.

Cheers!

That won't work because pd-extended hasn't been built for Ubuntu 14.10.

Would be interested to hear what anyone makes with it!

Hi David,

Really amazing tool, I'm honoured that my work inspired it! I have a few suggestions for improvement but will e-mail you about it.

Myself and a friend did create a mp4 glitching tool in 2012 but it is very messy. I'll upload it to github and perhaps we can collaborate to make it work better.

A patch made in Pd extended to create visual feedback loops in GEM. Example below:

You can now mask the feedback, revealing the original video source underneath (this can be inverted).

I'm attempting to create the different wipe effects found on hardware video mixers such as the
