The video portion can probably be done in GEM using a few objects like pix_mean_color, pix_diff, pix_histo, etc.
The sound part is trickier because there is no way to get sound from a movie file into the Pd audio DSP chain. Having the audio in a separate sound file and reading it at the same time as the video file could work but not have perfect sync. FFTs would make sense for the analysis.

Hi, I need help trying to figure out if pd/gem/framestein can help me with a project I have in mind. I'm just starting to use pd/gem now, so I'm still unsure of its possibilities. Basically I'm trying to compare two sets of video databases in relation to average color, sound and possibly shapes. I'm thinking I will have to compare the videos frame by frame, but basically I want the two sets of videos to match up when there are similar color and sound queries. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this with pd/gem, I would appreciate your help!
Thanks,
