I want to build a program which takes a flexible number of videos and
mixes them all to one output. Basically, I want to be able to start
and stop playing any video at any time and have everything mixed into
one screen.
This is for a cafeteria that all of the walls and ceiling are covered
in 50,000 LEDs. Its not quite a video screen, since the pixels are
3"/8cm square, but it should allow for some crazy stuff (more info
later, as the project progresses). All of these LEDs are mapping to
a video-in. The idea is that someone could make a video for one
section of the cafeteria and it could be played at the same time as
someone else's video for a different section. Think of trying to
curate a giant video frame by divvying out sections of the screen to
a open-ended number of people.
(this doesn't have to happen in Pd, by the way, but it would be nice
if it did).

Define "mix"?
Do you mean alpha blended on top of one and other, or do you mean placed side by side? The more videos you get the smaller the videos become?

alpha blended together, everything on the same screen. It doesn't
even have to be alpha blended, tho that would be nice. It could just
choose the first pixel that isn't black.

Hmmm, I'm not sure how I would approach that in Gem, seems like maybe more of a PDP/gridflow thing...
