GLMixer: Real-time graphics mixing software for live video performance

GLMixer is a free and unique real-time graphics mixing software ideal for live video performances, such as a live broadcast of an event, a stage performance or a presentation. GLMixer can intermix a number of videos and images and allows the user to manipulate and edit them on the fly.

You load a set of videos, either video files saved on a disk or videos streaming live from a camera or webcam, and decide in real time how they should be visible on the screen. A simple example would be to load four videos and arrange them on a grid so that all four of them are playing and visible at the same time. You can try even more complex arrangements like overlap them over each other and adjust the transparency, overlap only a part of the video, move a video “out of the screen” to show only a section, rotate, resize and zoom into the videos.

You can apply different effects like adjust saturation, brightness, color, adjust alpha channel, apply a mask, add noise, apply filters like emboss, sharpen, blur and invert. You can also group several videos together and work on them at the same time.

Different editing views like Mixing view, Geometry view and a 3D Layers view makes video mixing intuitive. Each of the 3 views allows you to dynamically and easily manipulate one or multiple sources in a different way.

The output of your operations are shown in real time in a separate rendering window, which should ideally be displayed full-screen on an external monitor or in a projector. Unlike with video-editing software, GLMixer applies the effects and operations in real-time. It cannot save a performance as a video because this would be too slow. The sound in the video sources also is ignored.

With GLMixer you can now organize your own live event and control how to display videos captured from multiple cameras on the screen. It’s fun and with a price like that, it’s hard to say no.

GLMixer is free, open source and multi-platform. Installers are available for Windows, Linux and Mac platforms.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
