I can't seem to find out how to tell a standalone to use the quicktime engine instead of the avf engine. The standalone object doesn't seem to have this as a parameter.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

You can either loadbang a message box containing:

or set the @engine attribute in the relevant objects.

You can either loadbang a message box containing:
;max videoengine qt

You can also create a file named "jitter-config.txt" with the ';max videoengine qt' message as it's text, located in the init folder (yourapp.app/Contents/Resources/C74/init) and it will be executed on load.

The loadbang message box approach or the init folder don't seem to work so far, but indeed the @engine parameter seems to work!

just to be clear, the text file in the init folder should contain the following line:

i just tested, and indeed it does change the default video-engine in the standalone to qt.

hi mattijs.

Aah yup, I placed the semicolon in the wrong location.
