I am wondering if the following would be possible:

I would like to design a patch (or standalone app) that allows the user to read in a video file and then set start and end frames to loop -- and repeat this for several (say, up to 12 or 16 or so) looping clips, each of which would have its own place in a grid on screen.

The background: I designed a (minimally) interactive video essay a few years back that encouraged close viewing of a scene by means of a grid of looping clips (individual shots in a scene). The video essay is here: 

https://shanedenson.com/stuff/dont-look-now-javascript/index.html

When published in an online journal (here: 

https://intransition.openlibhums.org/article/id/11422/

), one of the reviewers remarked that it was flawed as a video essay but might be seen as a proof of concept for an app that let the user load whatever scene they like and subject it this kind of analysis.

More recently, someone uploaded a project on GitHub, inspired by my video essay, designed to enable users to do this (

https://quan-1.gitbook.io/interactive-video-grid

). But it's an HTML-based project which requires manual cutting of video clips and some light editing of a javascript file.

I'd like to make something like this, but more intuitive: simply load the video clip, scrub to the scene you want to analyze, mark start and end frames for each shot, and mount them in a grid formation. Maybe some additional controls, such as a button to mute/unmute the audio on each shot. But this could come later.

My question: does this sound feasible at all in Max/Jitter? Or is this the wrong programming environment for this type of project?

I got an issue when capturing UHD video via a Blackmagic PCIe card using the device

The captured image is fine when using @output_texture 0 but it is half the width with artifacts when using @output_texture 1. See the screenshot attached.

Is there a solution to get the full width resolution for @output_texture 1 ?

By the way, DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder [Native]/ @output_texture 1 is the only setting where I am able to achieve 60fps as mentioned here:

Update: It does happen with FHD input source even worse, see attached screenshots

Hey everyone I recently noticed the Spout package was generating OpenGL errors on startup. I just pushed a fix for this on the Package Manager. The fix required dropping support for the legacy gl2 engine. Anyone needing legacy support should remain on version 2.0.75, all others are recommended to update.

Unless I am mistaken, the only way to output video via a Blackmagic device on Mac, such as the UltraStudio Monitor, is by using Syphon and BlackSyphon. All I want to do is use Max as a multi-channel HDMI embedder for sending an audio-visual 10 channel Dolby Atmos stream from my studio to my AV Receiver. BlackSyphon hasn't been updated for years, and it would be nice to do this all in Max. 

I can do it with NDI, but I would like to find a way to do it with HDMI or SDI. 

The Max users in this Forum are mostly discussing Blackmagic In, but not Blackmagic Out. Am I the only one who need this??

Hey everyone here's a weekend gift for those interested in augmenting their video recording capabilities via the fantastic open source OBS app and a little Node for Max script.

The basic gist is, wouldn't it be nice to trigger OBS recordings from inside Max, in order to better synchronize these recordings with whatever is going on in your patch? Well it turns out OBS has an extensive API for controlling and querying all manner of functionality, a plugin for web socket access of this API, and a node library for interacting with this plugin. So all we need for Max is a little node wrapper, and I just so happen to have one for ya.

https://github.com/robtherich/n4m-obs/tree/master

Make sure you first install the web socket plugin for your platform 

. The first time you open the patch, make sure you hit the 

 button to install all the node dependencies.

There are tester patches for both Mac and Win, and they assume either Syphon or Spout is installed via the Package Manager. To send video from Max to OBS add either a 

You probably will also want to adjust the default video output settings in OBS to record as mp4.

Very interested to know if this is useful for people, so please reply here with any comments or questions. Happy patching!

Ah fantastic, I was going to make something like this to control OBS with my launchpads as foot pedals, so I think you just saved me hours and hours of work! :-)

This very helpful script stopped working in the more recent versions of OBS with builtin web socket. I managed to get it working again by making some adjustments. I did not deal with the recording part, just the switching of scenes. Make sure to update the version of obs-websocket-js in the package.json file to 5.0.2.

const maxApi = require('max-api');
const OBSWebSocket = require('obs-websocket-js').default;

const obs = new OBSWebSocket();
let connected = false;

obs.connect(
		'ws://127.0.0.1:4455'//, add password here if enabled
		// 'super-sekret'
	)
	.then(() => {
 maxApi.post(`Success! We're connected & authenticated.`);
		return obs.call('GetSceneList');
	})
	.then(data => {
		connected = true;
 
 maxApi.post(`Current Scene is ${data.currentProgramSceneName}`);
 maxApi.post(`${data.scenes.length} Available Scenes`);
 
		maxApi.outlet('scenelist');
		data.scenes.forEach(scene => {
			maxApi.outlet("scene", scene.sceneName);
		});
	})
	.catch(err => { // Promise convention dicates you have a catch on every chain.
 maxApi.post(err);
	});
});

maxApi.addHandler('set_scene', (sceneName) => {
	if(connected) {
 obs.call('SetCurrentProgramScene', {
			'sceneName': sceneName
		});
	}
	else {
 maxApi.post("not connected to OBS");
	}
});

thanks much for sharing! if you are able to make a pull request on the github repo that would be appreciated.

@Rob Ramirez: As I have no experience with github, this appears to be quite a challenge for me, apologies.

Just rediscovering jit.gl.meshwarp (which is fantastic).

I'm wondering if there would be any way to first drag the vertices to points of interest in the image – without warping it – and then, once I've got the vertices where I want them, drag them around with the image contents following (that is, the default behavior)?

For example, imagine that I have an image of a house with a background that I want to distort precisely. Since the meshwarp vertices fall on a regular grid, none of them are likely to fall on the corners of the house, So I can only drag points that fall either on the background, or inside the perimeter of the house.

As far as I can tell, this isn't currently possible with jit.gl.meshwarp. If anyone can give me a hint how to implement this, I'd appreciate it.
