I am putting on a show where I am creating live visuals using a macbook pro. I would like to switch between a few patches of jitter during the course of the show but I don't want any of this "seen" Can anyone with experience give some tips on seamless presentation? I imagine that specifying a window coordinate and border 0 on the extra monitor (through the dvi out) is the answer. Problem is I only get access to the specific projector in the show on the day- and I am concerned that I am setting window size and properties correctly. A smooth (fade to black) transition from one patch to another seems like a headache- am I looking at getting a video jockey to mix the output of the laptop live to keep it all risk-averse?

Thanks Jean-Francois for your help-

What do you want to switch between? The patch interface itself or the output window? I did several lessons/seminars where I needed to switch between the 2d output of two different patches. I put them both on a videoplane in 3d and made the camera move from one plane to another. Really didn't take more than an hour to make (I'm not a jitter expert) and every time afterwards ppl come to me and ask which transition mode of powerpoint I use. If you want I can send you the patch.

That sounds like a great transition idea.

If you could post it up here that would be really helpful!

Thanks Mattijs,
I was meaning the output window.

Cheers,

As I said, I made it in an hour time, I didn't take much time to align the patchcords ;)

Btw, now that I open it (not on the powerbook that I used for the seminars) everything still works but I get a stream of error messages:

jit.gl.texture: setting compare mode.: GL Error: Invalid enumeration

jit.gl.texture: setting compare func.: GL Error: Invalid enumeration

jit.gl.texture: setting texture mode.: GL Error: Invalid enumeration

I'm on a low-spec pc right now, perhaps this problem doesn't occur with other setups.

jit.gl.texture: setting compare mode.: GL Error: Invalid enumeration
jit.gl.texture: setting compare func.: GL Error: Invalid enumeration
jit.gl.texture: setting texture mode.: GL Error: Invalid enumeration

I think this was addressed in J1.6.3b3. Check the changelog to be sure though.

I will check in 1.6.3b2 on my windows computer. On mac there is no problem.

You're right it is 1.6.3b2. If your graphics card supports the

GL_ARB_shadow extension, then you shouldn't be seeing these errors.

In the code, we check this extension before setting the values of the

parameters that are giving you errors. I don't have a low-spec

computer handy right now, so if you could possibly download GLEW

check if your grahpics card has this extension or not. On windows,

there's a binary so you don't have to compile it.

You're right it is 1.6.3b2.  If your graphics card supports the
GL_ARB_shadow extension, then you shouldn't be seeing these errors.
In the code, we check this extension before setting the values of the
parameters that are giving you errors.  I don't have a low-spec
computer handy right now, so if you could possibly download GLEW
(http://glew.sourceforge.net/) and the run glewinfo binary, you can
check if your grahpics card has this extension or not.  On windows,
there's a binary so you don't have to compile it.

You're right, the GL_ARB_shadow extension is missing. Time for a new gfx card on this oldie :)
