I've got a video stream that has been split into numerous horizontal

into a single image?

Chaining together 'Composite Add' operators into a tree works, but is
computationally expensive, hard to set up, and worst of all it produces
graphical artifacts.

I can use multiple billboards, but again this requires quite a lot of
work.
What I really want is a common, shared destination that my 32 Crop
operators can all write to, is this possible?

Is there a better way altogether?


My first stab at this would be to draw multiple billboards (probably within an iterator, and using a math patch to calculate a Y offset for each billboard) and assuming Leopard & QC3.0, put the whole thing in a "render in image" patch to get a single composite image as a result.

ie, result = render in image ( iterator ( billboard ( math(iterator index), input source(iterator index) ) ) )
