I'm using [pix_record] to record regular video. But, I also want to record the Gem objects I have put into the same gemwin on top of the video. Any ideas?

I'm not sure you can do that within pd/gem. pix_record only records one pix. I believe you'll have to use a screen capturing program to record the entire gem window. For Mac SnapzProX works well.

I think you can do this with [pix_snap2tex], it takes a snapshot of the current render buffer, and then you can use [pix_record]

Have fun!

Thanks. I'll try these ideas out and report back.

Sorry to keep asking things, but could you give me a simple diagram of how this would work?

Is it this?:

[pix_texture]
|
|
[rectangle]
|
|
[pix_snap2tex]
|
|
[pix_record]

I read the help file on [pix_snap2tex], but am still having a hard time.

i can't get this to work as well.... frustrating.

i thought, it was more sth like this:

[gemhead 100] <-- the renderorder number should to be highest of all gemheads
|
| [x]
| [metro 40] <-- 40ms makes up for 25fps, i think.
|/
[pix_snap2tex]
|
|
[pix_record]
|
|
[rectangle]

my first problem is, that i can't get the snap2tex to work. in the help-patch, only once the spinning sphere is being textured onto the rectangle, after that the bang returns "error: invalid value".

if i try to go by the explanation from the help file, i can't get anything to be snapped onto the rectangle.

(the pix_record bit i haven't been able to test therefore as well.)

any help much appreciated.
