I'm looking for some help getting started using the Jitter acts in PPOOLL. I can manage the audio stuff, but I'm stymied by video. Searching on my own, everything I've found is about using Jitter in the full MAX/MSP environment. So far I've been able to load a quicktime file into the jit.player act, but that's it. Maybe first we can clear up some conceptual issues...

1) Ok, so I'm playing back video, can I apply an effect to that video as though I was putting a filter on an audio signal? Which acts are "effects"

2) Are some acts visualizers so to speak? Meaning they are being triggered by an input signal?

Any links, pdfs, videos what have you are greatly appreciated

Video effects can use the following objects.

Jit.gl.slab ( check the example files in examples/jitter/render/slab) just plug in a video input voila !

And jit.gl.pix ( also in the examples folder )

You can control the parameters of those effects with audio.

So use snapshot~ to turn the amplitude of an audio signal into a float.

Plug that float into a jit.gl.slab parameter.

Hi there

Use the slide object to smooth it out.
Plug that float into a jit.gl.slab parameter.
Hope this gets you going.
