funny you should mention a chroma key because keying has been on my mind. Just started using zmatte for post work.. RTalpha subtraction and convolution as you mentioned will be a wonderful tool as well. what i would love to see is the ability for GEM to read different file types like .flt, .iv, .pfb etc.. and have be able to tweak those inside a gemwin...
and of course a way to dump out to .mov or .mpg or avi is a must at some point

Hi folks
i am pretty limited on my linux A/v side save for cinelerra so i am
focusing
my GEM tests on WinXp and OSX. I think i have aquired the most up to date version for OSX but where do i locate the newest for windows? I was having incredible performance from GEM with my Sony digital 8 on OS
X.
and Fantastic luck with the tutorial examples.
Hi Pat
Good to see that you are having a nice experience with the OSX GEM stuff - Jamie and I have put a lot of work into making it run well. I have just finished adding some Alitvec versions of the chroma_keyer and convolution function and will be working on some more optimizations and also finally starting on the RGB side of things. Oh and if you are using pix_video right now try yuv_video and it should speed up about 2.5 times. We need to sort out the YUV and RGB defaults and switching soon.
What machine are you running GEM on? I would like to compile a better set of recommended setups for GEM on a Mac.
Also, what further tutorials would you like to see? I have a short list of 'advanced' ones that include color-space, texture coordinates and the particle system - it's just a question of sitting down and doing them.

I would like to see how this stacks up with the windows version.
cheers~
