You could start two PDs. Each one controlling it's own Gem window. One would be the main output, the other the "previewer".

You are right, a previewer window would also be necessary for sighting what's happening on the 'video server', for completing one more function that some good VJing programs would give, that's why it's always interesting to keep client and server separated by different pd instances, even if they are both on the same computer, so every user would enjoy this kind of patch, some would just be frustrated of not being able to use some tools provided by 'unix only' externals, ...
For slightly conclude, it's not really interesting to bring some new libraries, just for building a single previewer window, since many solutions already exist with using only things from the oceans of dependencies we already have.
But still advantageous is to look into some solutions to give better visualizing tools that won't drown the video improvisator with filenames, and codes.
