I'm new in video and I wondered if it is possible to do something with maxMSP.

I would like to capture some images (photo) with motion detection (from a webcam or DV camera for example) each 5 seconds. And I wish to manipulate (scale, rotate...) each image separetly on a layer and keep them one by one visible on the screen. I tried to do it with VJ software, but I didn't manage.

I'm very bad in englih, I hope you understand what I mean.

There is a forum/list dedicated to Jitter questions, just check 

If you never used Max/MSP/Jitter before, you can download the demo, 

which will work during 1 month. One month is probably enough to get the 

result you want. Learning Max is not that easy, but the tutorials

It is possible, but with Max/MSP/Jitter (Max/MSP is almost only for 
sound - Jitter is for video).

cycling74's web site.

provided with the demo are great!

Yes it is possible, even advisable, to use Max, but you'll need Jitter too.

If you're totally new to max/msp/jitter, try basic tutorials first, and 

after that you could download computer-vision collection of objects from 

http://www.iamas.ac.jp/~jovan02/cv/download.html

After that it should be fairly easy to build your personal video beast. but 

keep in mind that it'll want to grow, grow, grow....

thank you to give me some hope!
I'll go in the jitter section.
merci encore.
