I've been trying to calculate the average color of a video frame and fill the frame with that color, for example if i have a blue sky with white clouds i would like the frame to be light blue. 

photoshop has this under filters/blur/average, but processing a lot of frames with photoshop is going to be too much of a task for me.

average-rgb

Look at jit.3m for finding the average for each plane. Then send the message setcell or setall and the rgb values to a jitter matrix.

this might sound frustrating, but i don't really know how to do that. I just got the program. 

I managed to open an play a video in the jit.3m and i suppose the average value is calculated where the text 'mean' is. I just don't have a clue where to find setcell or setail to send the message to jitter matrix, which i thought the jit.3m was on already.

Here is a patch.

the patch doesn't seem to work, does it make a difference if i have a mac? i've copied the patch you sent to the build collective window, but when i try to build it says error line.

patch opened and i could play a film, but unfortunately the final window is black. It plays the video, shows it before it goes to the jit.3m, but in the window after that it is just blank (black).
