I am currently doing a video installation,

which is need to tracking the direction of the motion, 

if someone is moving to the left, the video will play forward,

and if someone is moving to the right, the video will play backward.

How to make it well? I am concerning using photo squence or using a video clip for the footage.

I have patched together a couple of different patches as an example of how you can do this.

The motion tracker is pulled from a jitterRecipe called motionto midi, it is an efficient tracker. To understand how this works, look at the motion to midi article in the in-depth page on this site (under articles).

then look at the "" objects, 
and then the counter, 
and then the jit.qt.movie....
