Hi @supernihil ! Welcome to the forum 🙂

You can probably use the [VideoWriter](https://github.com/openrndr/openrndr/blob/master/openrndr-jvm/openrndr-ffmpeg/src/jvmMain/kotlin/org/openrndr/ffmpeg/VideoWriter.kt) which has a `frame()` method that takes a colorBuffer. The RenderTarget has a `colorBuffer`, so you could call `myVideoWriter.frame(myRenderTarget.colorBuffer(0))`.

Maybe you could create a `VideoWriterProfile` like the ones found in [orx/orx-jvm/orx-video-profiles/src/main/kotlin at master · openrndr/orx · GitHub](https://github.com/openrndr/orx/tree/master/orx-jvm/orx-video-profiles/src/main/kotlin) to broadcast your graphics, basically by overriding `arguments` and setting all the ffmpeg arguments you use for piping things.

Might that work?
