I am trying to build a patch that allows my final jit.window output to have multiple rows and columns where each cell has independent images randomly alternating (still images, not a video stream).

I have been trying to do this with jit.glue but it seems that for every jit.qt.movie object I add my CPU usage jumps up, even though my dimensions for each jit.qt.movie is relatively small (I was messing with 40 x 30 pixels each, both the images input and the qt.movie object).

I was under the impression that qt.movie would only be using CPU when in action, so if I was using still images I could use allot of jit.qt.movie objects so long as they were only being banged once and a while.

So here are some of the questions I am asking myself right now;

1) is it there an alternative to jit.glue that might work?

2) is there a way to input images into jit.glue without jit.qt.movie?

2) is there an object that would allow me to display still images other than jit.qt.movie?

3) is there a way to minimize CPU usage for jit.qt.movie?

If someone could answer any or all of these questions I would really appreciate it.

Look at jit.gl.videoplane-multi.maxpat in the Exemples folder/jitter/render of MAX.

Working in GL will save you a lot of CPU usage.
