Per's icon

Hi!

Dont know very much about MAX but have the aim of learning. however tried the extras->jittertester and expected to be able to see my isight webcam on my macbook pro.

Its selected isight as input source but theres no picture.

anything wrong? does this cam not work with MAX?

It does indeed. Any USB streaming camera should work with max. However, Jitter requires that you 'open' a camera before it starts displaying frames. Did you check the box marked 'start digitizing'? Leave it a second and it should work.

Try the object jit.qt.grab and press alt + click for the help file, very useful.
