hi all,

as Marc accepted my wish on helping him with hes new software (http://www.xynth.net) by doing the helpfile, icons & fonts i got so ispired (again) on visualisation that i had to start to code my own soft too :) but i don't know how long my ispiration lasts (again), so i desided to post it right away :)

as it will follow the PD license heres the first test patches. (the "_*.pd" files are abstractions used by "vide-o-matic_002-test.pd") ...

what it does:

• plays video
• with zoom
• tap-BPM
• FPB (Frames Pro Beat)

what it's gonna do:

• Better GUI (Flash!?)
• MIDI
• loop-points
• select position in film with mouse (scratz)
• leftMouseButton = zoomin, rightMouseButton = zoomout
• envelopes

here i could need some help from devs/experienced user:

• GEM : pix_coordinate, i don't quite understand the "coordination-system"
• GEM : pix_zoom, what would it do if it worked on win2k :) ?
• is there a "mousewheel" object ? (i think framestein does this, but i'm

not planning on using framestein @ all)

• GEM : whats the status of "videoIN" on windows
• is exporting/playing audio from video file in GEM todo/wish list :)))

and ofcourse, any GEM tips would be VERY lovely !!!

ok, i got too many questions but i think thats enough for now. so 1000x thanx for any reply and positive karma :)

it's only a matter of interface... -andre
