I am working in a video compositing and mapping patch in Jitter.  Basically, I need to compose and map 4 video sources of 568x769 each in a 3840x2160 canvas/texture.

I am struggling to load and display those video sources in their original size in pixels.

I am loading each video source in a separate jit.gl.videoplane (transform_reset 0, but I've also tried with different options), all of them drawing to the world. Each jit.gl.video plane is being fed with the right texture dimensions (568x769), but then in the world everything gets bigger/different. Also, the dimension of the window would alter the size of the videos.

How can I keep consistent/fixed sizes as the original?

i have a strong computer configuration and external graphics card, and STILL whenever I work with a 1920 ×1080 videos the UI objects get laggy and jittery, it takes 3 min to open dialog boxes, etc. in short it gets annoying to work in max.

 If it is, how do you do anything done in jitter?

i do use textures and not matrices, and max does use the external card, i can see the GPU use rising a little when doing video

Hey everyone, now that the initial buzz around the 8.3 release has died down a bit, and you’ve had some time to explore the (20+ !) new objects I’d like to shed a little light on the new Jitter features we’ve snuck into this release. We will continue to highlight these features over the coming weeks so this post should be taken as an introduction.

thank you for this inspirational upgrade.

I was very much looking forward to the announced upgrade to jit.gl.pbr's parralax-mode as mentioned two years ago in this video here (Matteo Marsen, 12:30 ff): 

which would enable us to displace geometry as is possible with jit.gl.material using heightmap-textures. 

Perhaps I am not clever enough to find the correct method on how to use textures to displace geometry using jit.gl.pbr, however, the helppatch for jit.gl.pbr still states that only matrices are supported while textures are in fact supported and the parallax-mode can only be flagged without further options — hence the displacement does not take place. Is there something I am overlooking? Or will it be part of a future upgrade/update?

If I where super experienced in shader coding, perhaps I could implement heightmap displacement myself, but since it (apparently) didn't make it into this upgrade of Max, it is likely to be a bit more challenging than an afternoon's coffee-session ^^

, but one super exciting thing this functionality enables is support for the fantastic 

, a huge collection of well written, organized and modular shader code. To that end I'm excited to announce the JitLygia package, which bundles the Lygia library into Max package form, and includes a handful of JXS examples ported over from the Lygia example set.

Simply install from the package manger and you're off. Individual lygia modules can be included in your shader by prefixing the path with 

#include Package:/JitLygia/lygia/animation/easing.glsl"

Included in the huge list of Max 9.1 features is mention of shader #include support. You can read about this in the jit.gl.shader reference...

I would like to have a video playlist with several videos.

And operate those videos at a per frame basis, either specifying the frame or by jumping to a relative frame. 

I thought the correct way to go would be to access attributes at a per video level with setclip, but this is not working, as I assume what i want is not to modify and attribute of the movie but to send a message to the movie. 

That said, this is the patch, but i guess the correct question would be: can i send messages to movies inside a jit.videoplaylist?

I want to do databending with Jitter, but I can't find an efficient way to do it.

I made some images by opening raw files in Photoshop and I want to do the same with Jitter.

I made the file "raw_example.jpg" with Photoshop, and it's exactly this kind of visual I want to achieve with Jitter.

I try to open raw files with sfplay and convert it into image with jit.catch and jit.gl.texture, but the result is not even close to what I made with Photoshop.

I'm trying to create a patch where I can triggers samples when motion is detected on a line. Similar to the concept in the video below. The end goal is to trigger splashing sounds when people walk by the webcam so it sounds like you're walking on water.

I've started out with the patch I have here (will increase the grid size later) but hit a snag when getting the data out of the matrix. Maybe this isn't the best way of doing it so I'm happy for suggestions.

I used to use HAP codec a few years ago. I tried it again, but there seems to be an issue with actually encoding videos with this codec for Windows. 

I see that the help file that comes with the package says that in Windows, HAP should be created as an AVI. But I cannot find a way to make it an AVI. I can only create as a MOV container which does not play in Windows and I did not test the result on a Mac. If I force it as AVI, it does not play. 

Any suggestions? How do you encode an AVI video with HAP? What software do you use? What is your process?
