How to record a movie file ?
Hi,
i've been into jitter tutorial 21, using my macbook pro's camera. When i hit "write grab file.mov 15. jpeg normal", i only get a max error : "doesn't understand "write" ".
Also is there a way to record a movie file on RAM ? My plan is to make some very short (less than 4 seconds) movie files, recorded on the fly, and directly played by a sequencer.
Many thanks for your help.
I take it you're on Max 7? Try this with tutorial 21:
As for the RAM thing, I would try a [playlist] in Max 7 with your video snippets. Those playlists appear to be very fast switchers. I wouldn't be surprised if either Max or OSX would put some of that data into RAM for you already to save disk i/o.
Many thanks. I'll check asap, but i was working on max6 since my goal is to use it in M4L, and i am not sure max7 runs with the live version i am using.
hi chapelier fou,
depending on the jit.qt.grab backend, the "write" message may not be functional. just add a jit.qt.record object to write to disk.
Thanks Rob.
