Hello, So, looking at the help file for [pd~], it seems to be primarily for audio. How can I use multiple cores to work purely with GEM? I am trying to have a simple transition between video clips, but if I have two instances of pix_film and then connect them to pix_add, the CPU-ussage skyrockets well above 100... is there a more efficient object for blending two video clips?
Best regards, Stephan

I am talking about PD's CPU meter. I don't have the impression that PD takes full advantage of 2 quad-core processors. When processing audio, anything over 100 in PD's meter will lead to glitched audio. I am just wondering if it will be much more when I load other videos and transition between them.
Pd will only use one core, and one core for the GUI. There are ways to distribute the load over several cores, e.g. [pd~] or use several instances of Pd that communicate with each others:
