Well I guess PDP would be the preferred way to do this, but AFAIK no one has compiled it for Windows, which, by unfortunate necessity, is what I need to write this for.
Any way to apply a recursive filter with a delay would be good. I just tried using [repeat], since looping is basically a kind of recursion, but no luck since I couldn't incrementally delay them.
Really all I need is to be able to copy the dereferenced pointer once, apply effects to it, and add that back to the original. Doing that recursively would be just what I need. I thought that's what a [pix_separator] would do.
Any thoughts?

This looks a lot more like a problem for a PDP solution.
I would not think one could send the whole gemlist [s loop] back up the chain into itself. Remeber that in Gem it is NOT the video data passing through the gemchain but control data and pointers.
Perhaps some Gem developers may have an idea of how to make this work... Gem is not the solution to all problems, and if you are working with the video-data passing through cords mind-set PDP/PiDiP is a better choice.
I know Jamie is working on some PDP to Gem bridge stuff, maybe when that is ready you could combine the two and use PDP only for the pix_ stuff.
Also in gridflow the data is actually passing through cords... but I'm not sure what OS your running or if Gridflow is the best solution to your particular problem.

Hi.
I'm trying to create a pix delay loop in GEM, but it doesn't work as expected.
[pix_video] | | [r loop] | | [pix_add] | [pix_delay 100] |
| [pix_gain] | | | [s loop] | [gemlist...]It doesn't seem to do anything at all. I noticed that the [pix_add] help file has pix_ sources with their own gemheads. I tried throwing in [pix_separator]s all over the place, and that didn't help. Any tips or suggestions? I find the whole GEM dataflow a bit odd since it's all pointers (right?), and I'm used to PDP. Is there another way I can go about the same thing?
Thanks! -Ian
