      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.
