Load a png in jitter with Max7 on Windows 8.1
Seems a dumb question but ...
My OS : windows 8.1
Max si Max7 (64 bits)
And I still can't find a way to load this in a matrix.
Is there a way to load an image file with an alpha channel in Jitter ?
Best
jit.qt.movie not sure about alpha support though
Jit.movie does not work (that's the first thing I try)
Please read this post about windows 8.1 and qt.movie

I also try to import in a jit.matrix, without success.
It's not a windows 8.1 problem as I can load png file or video with alpha channel with the player class of Openframeworks.
I have patched for eleven years with Max and I still can't believe that :
The solution is to use a fpic object in this way.
UP , I've got the same problem too (Windows 7), and this is really annoying !!!!
How about loading the png file into jit.gl.texture and sending that to jit.gl.videoplane ?
on windows 64 bit, you can use jit.mgraphics to load images. simple example patch here:
if you need to dynamically change the dimensions of your output matrix based on the dimensions of the image file, slightly more complex patch here:
Yes there isn't that problem using 32bit version of max, in fact I knew it, that was the reason I was using max6 in 32bit mode but I had forgotten it
hi guys, FWIW png image loading via importmovie message to jit.matrix will be working again in windows 64 for the next update (not 7.0.6).
