Just out of curiosity - have you tried the gdkpixbufoverlay element? It should allow you to change the "location" (for file) or "pixbuf" (for loaded GdkPixbuf object) property at runtime, and might have lower cpu usage than a full videomixer. If you keep the videomixer approach you may want to use the "compositor" element instead which is a replacement for the old videomixer element. Cheers Tim
