I was going down that road a while back. (I never solved my problem and

I never could get it to behave as I needed but I did not have a lot of time
to spend fooling around and had to drop it.
If you get anywhere with this, please ping me in your post.
Any suggestions or experiences?
I don't know if Praxis LIVE (www.praxislive.org) would be of interest to
you? I know it's been used by a few VJs. It's partly aimed to be a free
alternative to software like Isadora - patcher style but at a higher level
to things like PD, though it also has the ability to create custom
components in code.
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:
Are any of these tools useable for live television production?
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.
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.
