Hi all,

Forgive me if this is a simple thing to do, I'm not that experienced on the video side of Max. Is there a way to load a number of videos/gifs into a buffer of some kind, and launch them from a midi controller? I've seen in Vizzie where you can load up a player, but I'm thinking more along the lines of having a pool of videos and being able to trigger any one of them quickly?

Thanks!

Give a look to jit.gl.polymovie, in the JitterTools package. Only thing you have to do is trigger your video folders with the midi controller

Thanks for the ideas. I will give them a shot.
