GEM exploration - the movie

By -
I think it is a really cool program. I went online to did some research about GEM because I have no idea how to explore it. I get a general idea about it now after I read some introduction of GEM, GEM is the Graphics Environment for Multimedia. From the introduction I read, it is not an application. It is a library that Pd loads at run-time. But it is still too hard for me to actually do some thing with it. I tried every one under 'Pix'. My favorite one was the movie. When I change the number of the frame, the object moves like a video, the little people run and then fell down. When I change the number of 'rotateXYZ', the object can be spined around so that you can view it from different angle. This is pretty cool.

However, I still have difficulty to understand it. I found a website, there is a lot of information about GEM, PD, etc. I read some of them, they are too complicated for me....
Hope it will be helpful for you all.

I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.

Adobe Premiere, which is also mainly for video editing that I explored in midterm project, is generally employed to arrange the order of videos, cut and put transitions, it is also capable of doing basic DVD authoring. While After Effects can edit video footage in much the same way as Premiere, it is designed specifically to work with video layering, compositing, effects and animation. Basically as what it states in its name, it is used for "Effects".Of course Premiere can also do these things but After Effects has a slightly different workflow that makes them easier. After Effects also tends to have better quality effects, etc (Source: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/compare/aftereffects-vs-premiere.html ). Strong interest in editing videos drove me to discover Adobe After Effects as final project. To explore its two-dimension animated picture making functio
