my max6 patch didn't work in max7 cause of this... is it suppost to work like this or is it a bug?

importmovie-in-a-1-plane-matrix-in-max7-doesnt-work

Yup, thats weird, simple solution though.

if your remove the arguments it will be default a 4 planes matrix, and i wanted a direct 1 plane matrix image.

i already changed the parts with this importmovie thing in my max6 patches to let it work in max7, but i rather not have to check and fix my max6 patches to let them work in max7.

Thanks Andro for your reply,

a one plane matrix is just the alpha data.

Maybe use jit.gen.

Putting it into jit.gen
swiz a
vec 0
to output 1

hi aartcore. this is an issue with the AVF engine reading single plain images. you can either set the Video-Engine preference to qt for Max 6 behavior with jit.matrix importmovie, or you can use jit.movie @engine qt to read the image:

i'll take a look and see if avf engine can be improved to in this area.
