I am a relative beginner to Max, first time posting on the forum. Thanks in advance for any assistance. 

I am creating a video tool which displays 12 instances of the same video across a single screen, with each video playing at a different speed. 

To make this happen, I've arrived at a setup where I have 12 jit.gl.movie objects, feeding into 12 jit.gl.videoplane objects, writing to a single jit.world.

I have made parameters to spread the videos spatially (i.e. evenly distribute) across 

For the most part, this all works ok. The videos all show up fine and the spatial distribution works. 

The issue I am having is with what seems to be a kind of grouping or chunking behaviour in the way that the multiple videos are rendered. For example: 

When the videos are overlapping on the x plane, I would expect them to all overlap in the same direction (like fanning cards), but they seem to overlap randomly. To get them to fan out like cards, I have to put a non-zero value into the 

 spread, so that they're actually in order in front of one another in space.

I can live with that workaround, however, the next issue (which feels related to me) occurs when I use blending. For example, when I set all my jit.gl.videoplane Blend Enable attributes to 'ON', and Blend attributes to 'add', I get this:

I'm not sure if I have misunderstood something, but I would expect the additive blending effect to compound across all videos. To me this looks like the first four videos from the left are additively blending, but then the four in the middle are normal, then a bit more additive blending in the last four panels but not in the way I would expect.

Does anyone have an explanation for what might cause the jit.gl.videoplane objects to display this way? Or whether there's a way to force them to render in a particular order, or to blend globally?

I think it probably isn't important, but just in case it is, I have a jit.gl.slab in between each of the jit.gl.movie/jit.gl.videoplane pairs, running the shader 'cc.brcosa.jxs'.

In Live 12.2.7 (don't know which Max version that brings) I do get errors from an M4L containing

jit.movie @engine viddll @output_texture 1 @autostart 1 @automatic 0 @cache_size 30 @vol 0

jit.movie: viddll video engine not supported - using default avf video engine  

and then of course:

jit.movie: loadram is not available with avf engine

 (I haven't looked into the seeknotify workaround yet).

Is there a version of Live where this is available?

This just seems to have come up recently -- To make sure a client was using the viddl engine when she moves a project to a new machine, I loadbanged the message ';max videoengine viddl' in her patch, and now the above message is appearing, but not consistently. and weirdly enough, occasionally this:

jit.movie: viddl video engine not supported - using default avf video engine

Which seems even weirder, especially since it doesn't match the number of jit.movies in the patch. jI'm not seeing any difference in behavior, though. Is this just noise, or something I should be worrying about?

I am having some fun with the Jit.ui objects, and would hope to see more Uis in the future.

1- Why does the jit.ui.number object have four decimal values? I have been searching for any way to reduce it to two. And this exta setting would be greatly appreciated

2- I wish I that I could place the UIs in 3d Space, (similarly to 3d Objects)

let me know if any of the two things I mentioned are possilbe at the moment!

I have been playing around with versions of a genetic algorithm from Daniel Schiffman's 

I first made a js version of this sketch: 

https://editor.p5js.org/natureofcode/sketches/q4F192JCV

and wanted to try something similar with jit.gen. The matrix values average out over time but they don't seem to move towards the target value. Is this to be expected when using this type of algorithm? The js version produces "incorrect" results too just because certain characters get selected and reproduce. 

My first thought is that the "selection" gen subpatch is the problem since it uses a while loop and increments through the matrix but because it's in a gen patch the operation is being done per pixel. 

Maybe there are similar implementations of this type of algorithm out there.

I am working on my own spin of Andrew Bensons FlyOver Jitter recipe. In his version procedural noise and matrix feedback is used to determine the position for each grid shape instance. In my own I'd like to control the x and y position with MIDI. I've simulated the MIDI sequence for now by assigning random values to random matrix indices and sending the matrix to the feedback loop. However, when the matrix is only output on every metro tick, the drawing happens to slowly but when I use the draw bang from jit.gl.render the cubes look like they are stretched. 

Another issue is that I only want to be able to see the cubes that have been positioned by the "MIDI sequence" but the jit.gl.multiple object will create a new instance for every cell in the matrix.
