jit.movie unsupported codec
Hi,
i'm trying to run a patch in Max 7 (on OSX 10.8.5) which uses the jit.qt.movie object. It looks like it's replaced by jit.movie. While trying to load a .mov file with animation codec i get:
jit.movie: movie file unsuccessfully loaded - possibly unsupported codec
I guess this is because jit.movie uses the AVF engine. Is there any documentation about supported codecs?
Just found out while tiping this post: when i set [jit.movie @engine qt] the movie does load normally!
Still curious about the avf btw...

AVF is for AV-foundation, more info here: https://developer.apple.com/av-foundation/
The recommended codecs to use with the avf engine are: H264, Photo-Jpeg, Prores 422, and Prores 4444 (which supports an alpha channel).
Two commonly used codecs that are not supported include Animation and Apple Intermediate.
if deprecated codec support is required, you simply need to set your default Video Engine to QT. Open the Max Preferences window, and change Video Engine to "qt" (or specify @engine qt in the jit.movie object box, as stated above).
