Umenu and Dropfile help for Jit.qt.movie object

avengermattman's icon

Hey guys I am sorry if this is already here somewhere, I have searched but it could be hidden away places.

So I am making a live video editor and I want to have a dropfile folder where you can pick which video will play from both sides with a umenu object. I have tried everything and for some reason it will not put the video into the jit.window. Any ideas? Still making all the other crazy bells and whistles I'm adding to it so please excuse the mess in the uploaded patch and bpatcher.

Thanks

Hi,

in your case, umenu must be in Prefix Mode Concatenate (see in inspector)
ps: use copy compressed if you post patches here (see Max/Edit)
Best,
