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

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:
