I’m trying to project 5 x video onto a 2D surface. I need to be able to scale and transform 5 running videos independantly of each other.
I’m noob, but I think I have the patch right. But the videos seem to randomly disappear and reappear whenever they want to…
Is my patch connected correctly?
(I also need to cycle through videos, so I’ve used JointAVIPlayer)

Ola, looks nice, I assume, don’t have anything to test JointAviPlayer here. Just put everything in 1 folder and .zip it for us next time. But I think it is smart to try a different codec or settings.
Like Electomeier said:
- Tell us your results with different codecs etc…
Think in spreads, if you copy the same Transform/Quad combo 5 times, something is wrong. There is a Cons (EX9.Texture) node to put all the textures on 1 quad. Makes it just a little easier.
and with the little size of the scales, it wouldn’t hurt to make your movies also very tiny, playing 5 videos in 1 go is always a little hard for your computer/harddrive.

Thanks West, that was incredibly helpful!
I now have all 5 videos running fine. And thanks for your comments on spreads and movie size and the example.
Perfect!
