hi there

i'm building a live rendering of speech bubbles to go over live video (here's the patch minus a few bits)

the 2 sections 'live video' and 'speech bubble' are manipulated through

jit.gl videoplane

the output is

jit.gl.render to jit.window

how can i create a pwindow in the patch so i can take image and video snapshots (save png )
(i'm setting it up to teach kids with low literacy)

i've tried so many approached but can't nut it out
any help appreciated

Dit it work well? I wonder whether a 3rd party image saving tool is necessary or not?
