I'm using the viddll engine in order to trigger jit.movie video playback with very low latency. Loading a video into ram with the "loadram" message does indeed allow me to trigger the video very quickly, but it also causes a spike in CPU usage, getting as high as 100-200% after loading just a single 4.2 MB 720p video. I have a patcher with several jit.movie instances that use jit.movie's @moviefile attribute to load video files and it reaches over 800% CPU when using viddll—and that's without any videos actually playing!

In addition, in spite of following Rob Ramirez's advice on viddll best practices (

https://cycling74.com/forums/jit-movie~-will-not-loop-video-smoothly-at-end-of-video#reply-5d8a294a816dc95cca0babd0

, except transcoding to HAP, which I was hoping wouldn't be necessary), I can't manage to get smooth looping working with viddll.

Am I missing some basic configuration step of some kind? Running 9.0.8 on an M4 Max MBP with plenty of memory.

I would like to take a video source and slicing it in a grid of different video planes, potentially dynamic so its possible to select rows and columns ( NXM : 3x3, 5x5, 3x1, 10x10, ... ).

I would like to have different options for slicing it, like plain slices, but also would be very interested in achieving an effect like the one in the picture ( what you see is that certain elements like the eyes and nose are more weighted, and the slices are calculated to give more weight to those elements, I guess that theres several options, manually specifiying the areas on the video of more weihght or detecting those via CV.JIT ? ) 

I was thinking about combining gl.multiple with video planes, manipulating texture coordinates, and using CV jit to detect the areas of the video. But my skills are not at the level of executing this properly.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to create a project that focuses on the concept of individual uniqueness. I'd like to capture a voice (live) and visually produce a system of particles that can be moved by voice and hand movements. I'd also like the particles to have a different color palette for each frequency, to emphasize the concept of uniqueness. I'm a beginner and I'm having a hard time understanding how to do it. Does anyone know how I can do it? I can't share my patch so I'll post the screenshot

I tried to compile the jit.hello example and I have a lot of interogations.

the firsts of them are the deprecated functions in the max.jit.hello.c file :

line 32 : 'max_jit_classex_standard_wrap' is deprecated

at the end the project can be succesfully compiled but when I try to use the fresh new compiled object in Max ( 8.6.5 version and 9.0.8 ) the object is not loaded....

jit.hello : could not load due to incorrect architecture

Are the two things linked ? if this is the case, what are the functions we should use to update the code with the good functions?

I'm using a screenshot piece of code based on what's suggested here ( 

https://cycling74.com/forums/save-screenshot-of-a-video-with-bang

Everything is working properly, but only when I'm using a jit.fx.co.dodge fx the screenshot is not working ( is outputing a blank image ) 

My patch is bigger, but I created this patch example in which you can see the problem:

screenshot-fail-dodge-forum.maxpat

Also, You'll see there's a subpatcher in which I encapsulated what was suggested on the beforementioned forum post, but making sure it's receiving a texture ( which converts to matrix using texture2matrix ). 

All help pointing me in those directions is welcome: 

- how to solve the dodge thing, so I can still use dodge and do screenshots

- how to improve my subpatcher for screenshotinng

I am trying to put a wave file display into a matrix as soon as it loads using the "viz" message. For some reason this patch works sometimes, but kills Max about 1 of every 3 executions. What am I doing incorrectly?

jit-buffer-viz-crashing

jit.buffer~ viz crashing

I've just finished a complex video gig, with many jit.qt.movie and videoplanes, optimized as Vade proposed it with uyvy. I've tested my setup many times before the event and didn't had any bug. 

During the show (my Max patch had run for a whole day intensively with no reboot) and then Jitter stopped working properly. I had many rehearsals during the day and did'nt had any problem. But during the show, movies didn't load as they were supposed to : blue screens, digital glitches, frames freezing and skipping. A pure nightmare.

Does Jitter (or jit.qt.movie or jit.gl.videoplan) has a kind of "buffer" that gets full when used intensively? Is there a way to clear it without restarting Max?

I have with jit.gl.gridshape a sphere going to a jit.gen and a jit.gl.mesh. 

Everything work fine and my effect to modify the shape is good. 

But, I apply a texture on jit.gl.mesh, the texture is good too but not center as I want. 

I tried to put matrixoutput : 2 on my gridshape to rotatexyz and change it localy but everything change in my scene, light, jit.gen ... 

I miss something for sure but I don't know what. I was thinking transform output was local like it says in documentation but it seems not working ! 

Transform jit.gl.gridshape without change the rest ?

i am trying to run jitter in Max 8/ Max 9 on a Windows System:

File -> New From Template -> opengl_starter 

Patch Max crashes and closes after turning the qmetro on.

Max is also crashing after trying to load 

So could it be, that my System is to old to run Jitter in Max 8 and Max 9? 

And how can i avoid loading the Jitter Geometry Demo after starting Max 9?
