use current video frame
hello
Maybe someone have a simple patch example how to get bang x frames before the end of a video file. i dont want to use loop notify. instead i want to use the current frame count.
thanks
this could be a starting point:
many thanks LSKA!
Hi Lska
do i need the message you have used: \frame $1, bang \ or i can connect the qmetro directly to jit.qt.mov ?
thanks
If you do not want to use the "frame" method, then must be shure to have a qmetro that runs at the same fps of your movie, so the counter will remain in sync. Also, you'll have to send the "start" and "stop" messages to jit.qt.movie when starting the counter.
hi LSKA
using the "frame" method slow the performance. so i have remove it and set my qmetro to 25 fps, same as my video fps. but...it seems the frame count and the current frame at the end of the file are not equal. (the frame count value is much bigger)
any idea ?

hi LSKA
I have found the reason :
when i am playing a sound file simultaneously via sfplay, the curent frame value of the video is not accurate.
any idea how shall i play both and keep the current frame value accurate ?
thanks

Try to see the difference :-)
Sorry if this is obvious, but have you checked the overdrive button (on), under menu/options/audio status.
Why do you need a constant number from [fps]?
Your movies playback frame rate is fixed, it does not change because of your playback. As long as it shows values above your framerate (e.g. 25) everything should be a-okay.
The only worry is that if it goes lower then your fps encoding. That means: dropped frames.
But Jitter is able to run a [qt.movie] and [sfplay] nicely together unless the file has ridiculous techspecs. See this thread for movie preparation and noodelinghttps://cycling74.com/forums/smooth-video-playback/
watch for Vades post.
thanks PHIOL and CTRLZJONES for the info!
PHIOL version works perfect!!!
