Hello this is probably a real easy question. When I have a video file playing on loop there is often a white flash at the point that the video returns back to the beginning of the file. I have experimented with making loop points shorter than the whole original file as well as using "loadram" in case it was because the computer was being slowed down by accessing the hard drive. Again, probably real basic stuff...

Hello Hubert thanks for writing. Sorry for the late reply but I've been nutty busy. 

I am working with Max/MSP 4.6.3 (not sure what version of Jitter that works out to) on a G4 Titanium 867MHz OS 10.3.9 768MB RAM.

I am starting a project based on using short, low-res videos taken on cell phones and digital cameras. I'll attach one of the files that gives me the flash upon looping even in the Help file for the jit.qt.movie object. Using the "frame $" message is not working for me, I'm not getting something right here. Also I was wondering if you could point me towards a tutorial or lesson on recording QT movies with effects without dropping frames. I have ideas for changing video tarameters with aduio but when I try to make recordings of these, the video files come out all wrong. I have to say the the Jitter Tutorials are pretty slim in general so amy advice is greatly appreciated. There is a section on using frame dump but that doesn't seem to apply to real time effects with changing variables. Just a thought. Thanks very much for your help. Sincerely, -B
