i have a strong computer configuration and external graphics card, and STILL whenever I work with a 1920 ×1080 videos the UI objects get laggy and jittery, it takes 3 min to open dialog boxes, etc. in short it gets annoying to work in max.

 If it is, how do you do anything done in jitter?

i do use textures and not matrices, and max does use the external card, i can see the GPU use rising a little when doing video

I'm trying to create a patch where I can triggers samples when motion is detected on a line. Similar to the concept in the video below. The end goal is to trigger splashing sounds when people walk by the webcam so it sounds like you're walking on water.

I've started out with the patch I have here (will increase the grid size later) but hit a snag when getting the data out of the matrix. Maybe this isn't the best way of doing it so I'm happy for suggestions.

I want to do databending with Jitter, but I can't find an efficient way to do it.

I made some images by opening raw files in Photoshop and I want to do the same with Jitter.

I made the file "raw_example.jpg" with Photoshop, and it's exactly this kind of visual I want to achieve with Jitter.

I try to open raw files with sfplay and convert it into image with jit.catch and jit.gl.texture, but the result is not even close to what I made with Photoshop.

I’m building a system for live performance where I may need many different shader modes. To avoid having one very long shader file with dozens of branches, I’d like to preload multiple jit.gl.shader objects and simply switch them at runtime. For this to be reliable on stage, I need to be sure about when compilation actually happens, and whether switching shaders ever triggers recompilation.

• When exactly does a jit.gl.shader compile its code? Is it compiled immediately when I read a file or set the @file attribute (when autowatch is 1), or only once it is bound to a jit.gl.mesh (or other OB3D)? Otherwise, if autowatch is 0, does it just sit idle until I explicitly send "compile" or "read"?

• Is “compile” and “bind” treated as separate steps in Jitter (like OpenGL’s glCompileShader vs. glUseProgram)? “For example, if I change the @shader attribute of a jit.gl.mesh from phongShader to blinnShader, does that trigger any recompilation, or does it simply bind an already compiled program?”

• Does the autowatch attribute affect this process? My understanding is that autowatch 1 only recompiles when the source file changes on disk, not when shaders are bound/unbound. Is that correct?

I’ve read the reference docs, and while they imply this separation, they don’t spell it out. I’d love to have a confirmation of how jit.gl.shader handles compilation vs binding, and exactly what role autowatch plays.

For a theater project, I need to retrieve a video stream via a Blackmagic 3G Recorder; so far, no problems.

I'm processing the video and want to send it back via the network to another Mac with Millumin (the NDI input appears and the stream goes through).

With this network and [udpsend 192.168.0.XX 1024] (the IP address of the other Mac and the Millumin OSC input port), I want to control Millu to launch the next columns and other effects. 

It works, but I lose the connection quite quickly. My solution is to jit-bang the [port 1024] message, and it works, but it doesn't seem very secure. 

Are you aware of this problem? Could it be Millu? I've already used [udpsend between Macs, from Max to Max, and haven't had this problem].

Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards.

I want to create Jitter projects with face detection of a webcam stream in "realtime" at high resolution.

In one patch for example i am using OpenCV - cv.jit objects to cut out the face from the webcam stream: 

CutOutFace.maxpat

but it seems to be too slow i only get a framefrate about 3 fps and the patch responds delayed. 

I also have detected the jweb-mediapipe for example: 

https://github.com/robtherich/jweb-mediapipe

 This option has a great performance, high resolution, and very good face-landmarkers... 

But as far as i understand i am not able to feed the jweb object with a jitter matrix from my webcam or get a jitter matrix out of the jweb object. 

I would need the original webcam stream and the detected facemesh, face-landmarker data to work with in my jitter patches.

Is there a possibility to do that in with the jweb-mediapipe?

Are there alternative solutions which deal with high quality and good performance face detection that could be used inside jitter?
