It seems to me that this should feature prominently in the docs somewhere. Something like "[pix_movie] is for special cases where you want to enable certain optimizations that don't work everywhere". Or even better, it would be great if [pix_movie] did work everywhere.

Yes. This fixed the problems I was having.

I have found that [pix_movie] does this on many machines, but using [pix_film] connected to a [pix_texture] works everywhere.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work.
Some other weird issues are that my ".mov" file worked fine on linux but not at all on OS X. The only thing that would play it was VLC so I used that to transcode it and was able to get it working (albeit with the flashing) in other formats. But I noticed that when the frame motion was backwards, it would cause clicking in the audio. So I ended up transcoding it to jpeg and that got rid of the clicking but I still get the flashing.
Any more suggestions?

Are you doing any pix_ processing? Sometimes still frames get double processed causing unintended results. It has to do with Quicktime not always giving the right indication that a new frame was delivered. Throw a pix_separator in the chain and see if that does anything.

Hi list.
I'm working on a piece that's most likely going to be shown on a Macs running OS X and I'm running into a strange issue with GEM. The piece involves a short video clip that moves back and forth amongst the frames. As long as it's moving between frames, everything is fine. But as soon as it stops somewhere, it starts alternating between the correct colors and their opposites causing it to flash. This doesn't happen on linux, only on OS X. Anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I've tried a variety of video formats but nothing seems to make a difference. Also, when it flashes to the opposite colors, it looks like the resolution changes. Weird.
I would greatly appreciate any and all tips and suggestions.
Pall
