I'm loading a large matrix into a videoplane and offsetting it horizontally very quickly within the videoplane. I'm sending the output of the videoplane to a jit.window.

I'd like to combine the horizontally shifting videoplane output with the output of another videoplane, into the jit.window. However, I haven't found a way to do that yet. Obviously we can blend matrix' previous to the videoplane, but is there a way to blend the output of the videoplane with that of another videoplane?

Here's a simple patch showing my horizontal movement using videoplane.

What I'd like is to have a second patch that also draws to SIMOPP_01.

Set the blend_enable attribute to 1 and the depth_enable attribute to 0 in each jit.gl.videoplane.

Here's an example that might be helpful. (It uses two videos from the patches/media folder. Pardon the cheap hack to make a video with an alpha mask.)

Thanks. I tried it using your patch, and sending everything to the SIMOPP_01 output I have, using the "OH.MOV" source video at the same time that I send it a signal from my own patch, but when one of the videoplanes gets ahold of a jit.window, it is shown, but I'm not seeing other videoplanes that I add after that. I'll look closer at your patch this evening, it may be some other setting that I'm not aware of.

Thanks again. Upon playing with our patches this evening, I found that I had been sending my patches correctly to the jit.window, but one was hidden behind the other. A separate posting showed how to switch the layering. Got it now, thanks so much for taking the time to help! -Robert

Mix or alternate multiple videoplanes into a single jit.window?
