[jitter] [sharing] multi-video mixing

Hi guys,

Here's a simple patch that shows how to mix four videos together, fade each in and out while maintaining an overall stable presence (i.e. scaling values for all four movies always add up to 1.). 

Like I said, it's a simple patch, but seems like it might be a useful thing to post for beginner-esque Jitterists. Maybe someone will find it useful.

best,
Zachary
