I want to trigger different events at different points in a movie. I'm also trying to send a bang that will start movie X (a movie selected based on other factors in the patch) at the end of movie A.

I've tried sending out the frame count and selecting a certain frame number that would send the bang, but for some reason it doesn't work (I can post the patch if needed).

I have a hunch this is much easier than I have made it out in my head. If you need more info, let me know. Any suggestions are appreciated.

maybe you should send your patch so we can see where you are stuck , this is a pretty basic issue.

did you get a chance to check Jitter tutorial 04 "04jControllingMoviePlayback.pat" ? or the "loop_detect.pat" in the jitter examples folder ? this could get you started . jump and frame are the messages to be sent to the jit.qt.movie object to go to specific frames of your selected movies...

i am not sure if i can b more of any help right now ...

One thing I'm trying to avoid is the movie looping. For example, how can I have the movie reach the end and then send a bang that would turn off the metro banging the movie.

Here's an example of one of my tests that does not work. I modified the "04jControllingMoviePlayback.pat" patch so theoretically the movie would reach frame 12, and throw a toggle. But it doesn't work. Not sure why. If I could accomplish something similar that would be a step in the direction I'm headed!

Just wanted to quickly add that I did find the "loopreport 1" "loopnotify" messages and that is helping a great deal.

However, I am still looking to trigger events when the video reaches specific frames. For example, send a bang when the video reaches frame 10. Again, any help is appreciated.

Still nothing on this. I've searched the forums, asked friends. About to give up on it, but I'll try one more time...

Is there no way to get a bang at a certain frame in a jit.qt.movie object?

I'm trying to get a bang say 10 frames or even a few seconds before a movie ends so I can cue other actions. There has to be a way to do this, no?
