Hi there,
I am new to the video side of all this and was wondering if there was some kind of dissolve object for use with a movie or video feed in one of the many libraries?

cheers,
will.

Hello, what do you mean by "dissolve"?

hi,
the ability to dissolve between two images or video streams. Rather than a cross fade, I believe a dissolve function works primarily on the alpha channel of an image. Not entirely sure about it myself, this is what the documentation for the dissolve object in the VNS library for max/jitter says anyway.
hope that makes it a little clearer.

will.

Hi,

In Gem librarie, you can add an alpha channel to every streams you want to "dissolve" using the object [alpha] just after the [gemhead] and with [colorRGB], the fifth inlet is for alpha value, at the outlet, you can add the necessary objects for displaying videostream on a geo (square, cube, cuboid, ect...) with using [pix_texture]. with using a [separator] object at the outlet of [alpha], you won't have the need for using other [gemhead] for the other videostreams (other layers).

Cheers,
been playing around with that and seems to be doing the job.
the help's appreciated.
Will.
