I want the video clips to slowly fade out to black after hitting a key on the keyboard about a couple of seconds after the key was hit, a bit like hitting one piano key and listening to the room harmonics slowly fade out into silent.

How do I do that?

thanks.

You could jit.xfade to black, slowly set the
alpha of a video plane to 0 with blend_enable 1, jit.op @op * to 0 to
make the video go away etc. etc.

But how do I make the video fade to black over a certain period of time, for example I want to make the video fade out to black gradually exactly 5 seconds after the user clicked the midi key.
I want to tell Jitter to perform the fade out of the video automatically by itself, not by control of the user.
I guess I’m looking for some kind of an automatic transition system.
Thanks

ramp of values from a start to an end point over a specified time.

Go to http://www.hellbender.org and follow the link to “Max/MSP/Jitter Programming”. Then, download “ike.gain~”

It’s an audio-based example, but the logic should be clear and you can adapt it to stick with floating-point info.

You can then attach the output to a brcosa object or whatever object you want for the fade to black.
