accessing videos in ram?

Florent Ghys's icon

Hello,
After loading videos into RAM with the "loadram" message to a jit.movie, is there a way to access this data from another jit.movie or another object? Kind of like accessing audio in a buffer~ with several groove~ objects.

I'm doing a poly~ that loadrams 50 very short videos and I'd like to have several versions of it, but without reloading the same data into ram.
if you have any leads, let me know! thanks

you can actually use the [ grab ] object for this, as long as you have the frame loaded into ram:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

I totally forgot about the grab object
