First, just want to say that English is not my first language so I hope I will be clear.

I want to experiment with video and jitter.

I have build a patch with which I can play, loop and edit the In/Out points of a video file.

With the Rslider object, I can also change both points simultaneously while holding the Command key and moving my mouse.

Something is annoying me though. When I edit In/Point points with the mouse, the video « flickers » (I’m not sure if flicker is the right word but the video is not running smoothly). I can’t figure out why. Does someone has an idea what could be the problem?

Thanks a lot for your help. I have join my patch.

I was not able to join my patch with the copy compressed so here it is attached.

With some more observations, I’m guessing that the problem has to do with the part of my patch that is scaling both outputs of the Rslider object (the Low Value and High Value outlet) with the Groove~ object.

Has I said in my previous post, while the video is playing, I want to change Low and High value in real-time to change the looping size. Since the jit.movie object need a value between 0. and 1. I understand that I have to scale both outlet of the Rslider object between 0. and 1. and then scale the results with the Loop Sync Output of the Groove~ object. Finally send that normalized value to jit.movie. While I move the size of the Rslider object during movie playback, it seems yo creates momentary jumps and I’m guessing these jumps are caused by the constant resizing of the RSlider loop size while I move the Low or High points values.

Has someone has an idea how I can solve this problem?
