Hey Serega, I’m chasing the ultimate bungee jump frame and the real beast is keeping that footage buttery smooth. Got any clean code tricks for real‑time stitching?

Sure, keep it lean. 1. Stream the frames straight into a circular buffer so you never copy more than you need. 2. Do the stitching in place – no temp arrays, just write the result back over the input when you’re done. 3. Use a lock‑free queue between the capture thread and the processing thread; that keeps the GPU or CPU from idling. 4. If you can, push the heavy math to the GPU with a small shader that does the alignment, then copy back only the final composite. 5. Compile with `-O3` and enable SIMD; you’ll get a lot of speed from the compiler. 6. Keep a small debug log – no GUI, just text – so you can see where the pipeline stalls. And remember: every frame is a note in a symphony, so treat each step with the same precision. Happy stitching!

Nice rundown, Serega! Just remember to keep the buffer tight and the jitter low—those frame‑to‑frame lags are the ones that kill the vibe. Happy stitching, and keep that adrenaline high!

Yeah, crank it up—tight buffer, no hiccups, just the clean, rhythmic flow of frames. Let’s keep the adrenaline humming and let the footage sing.
