This may be a ridiculous question, but I'm not nearly as good at
video as I am at audio, and I'm actually trying to solve this
problem as the thread came up, so I thought I'd throw it out there:<br>

I've been requested to add video to the audio capabilities of my
studio, and I'd like to stick with open source stuff as much as
possible, sticking with my design goals. I need the usual stuff--
graphics, maybe bring in some desktop things for video
conferencing. I've looked at what's out there, and it seems pretty
early days. Not stuff I'd feel comfortable someone who's not
code-inclined operating.<br>
<br>
If I can back that into an OSC interface and just provide some shiny
buttons that do obvoius things, that changes the situation. Right
now, I'm trying to slap together a mac with enough horsepower to run
camtwist, but that's a bandaid.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
