I want to use Gem to capture still frames from a video stream. I was going to use pix_write . At the same time I want to turn those still frames into a movie and output them in a Gem window. Since pix_write captures the rendered output I assume I need 1 PD instance for the capture and 1 PD instance for the output. Related to this should I use pix_multiimage to output the frames or use a script to continually create a movie then use pix_film? In other words the output movie will continuously get longer as frames are captured from the video stream. I know I will need to allow time for loading, saving etc.
Thanks for any advice before I tackle this. I am using Linux.
