I'm new to Jitter and really enjoying the power of it. I have a project that I have a feeling is pretty simple: make a 2x2 grid of videos, fullscreen.

I'm guessing the way to go about this is to make each of the videos be jit.qt.movie objects, and send them to a jit.window. I'm successfully doing this with one video. My problem is I can't figure out how to place multiple windows on the jit.window, or how to make that window fullscreen on a specified monitor.

Short, sweet, and extremely effective. Perfect, thanks.

jit.glue is great and will do the trick, but look into jit.gl.videoplane (or jit.gl.gridshape with a texture) too. This could give you the 2X2 that you have now, but also give you all kinds of other controls over movement, scaling, rotation, etc. This way, the 2X2 display of 4 movies you wanted becomes only one setting of any number of new possibilities---it fills up the screen completely, and all movies are flat. No reason to restrict yourself to that when you can put a movie on any shape you want, move and stretch the shapes in space, make them transparent or opaque, etc... the GL capabilities are amazing. And with a preset you can go back to the original 2X2 flat display with one click.

jit.gl.videoplane is the easiest to start with as you can pipe a movie right into it. jit.gl.gridshape (or other similar ones) require a texture to be applied, but it's still pretty simple once you get how they work with jit.gl.render.
