I'm trying to make a Standalone App in Max5 that plays back two videos simultaneously.

I've included the .mov files into the collective editor, but the resulting Standalone isn't able to locate 'em.

I have a feeling it's my file search path... but I'm unsure of how to set it up for a Standalone.

P.S. I've added the "jitter-externals" and "jitter-shaders" into the Standalone's "Support" folder. Still no dice.

I usually just manually add files like .pdf's into the support folder (within the application bundle on the Mac) after Max builds the standalone. I would imagine that that support folder would be a good place to also put .mov files.

Take a look at my "How to make a slick Max standalone" presentation, available here:

On page 23, it shows you how I find the path to a .pdf file that I include in the support folder. You could do something similar for your .mov files...

I changed the file search path as you do on page 23, and just dropped my .movs in manually to a "vids" folder I created within the "support" folder!
