I'd like to report a problem I've been having lately on dozens of different desktop/laptop with Windows 10/11 and laptop Mac Intel, with Max 8.6.5 and Max 9.1.1.

I initially thought it was due to the complexity of my patches or the size of the textures, but below is a 

 patch that shows the same error: a simple rectangle that scrolls from left to right once a second, the jit.world bang calculates its position, sync on, 60 fps.

The issue appears after a short time (usually 

, then performance returns to normal. After some time, the problem repeats.

Note that on Windows jit.fpsgui always reports a stable 60 fps, and I haven't found a way to check these dropped frames from within Max.

The only way I've found to objectively check for dropped frames is to use an HDMI to USB-C video capture card on another computer and calculate when there are duplicate frames.

Is this a known issue related to jit.world, internal scheduling, or the rendering loop?

OS-level GPU scheduling or power management?

Are there recommended flags, attributes, or diagnostics to better understand these periodic drops?

I am looking for a solution to get a live video input from an analog video source to my Mac (Silicone). The less the latency the better. My current solution is a canapus analog to dv converter with adapter cables which is working fine. But sadly dropped the firewire support in macOS Tahoe after 26 years ;-)

I want to create some custom Jitter externals but building the 

myself is proving to be a bit beyond me. Is there somewhere I can find a pre-compiled Jitter library for Windows (`jitter.lib`)? I found an old one, but it was for Max 5 or something like that, and I assume that's way too old. If there's something I'm missing that would make all of this a lot easier, I would love to know!

Hi there. I have a "chaotic attractor" patch, based on the one in 

 tutorial but using a different formula in the Gen, the "

" attractor. (Thank you so much Umut Eldem, I learned a lot!) Everything else is, essentially, the same. The jitter preference is switched to GL2 instead GL Core, which I'd prefer to avoid in future versions. For now, though, using GL2, what I can't quite figure out is how to make the particle motion into solid lines. 

I turned down the alpha on @erase_color in the jit.world to a point I like, where it makes a trail but goes completely away in a reasonable time frame. However, the look is still "dotty" and I'd like a clean line so the overall shape of the attractor becomes clear but fades away before it turns into a solid block.

I tried a couple other things that I saw in older posts, like the smear effect and reducing the FPS. Neither of them really worked as I wanted. (Actually, reducing the FPS doesn't seem to have an impact on the practical speed, I reduced the attribute but it still seems to output at the same rate, perhaps I'm doing something wrong there? I left it like that in the uploaded patch.) The jit.gl.mesh @draw_mode does something totally different, so it's not that, I don't think.

My questions are: how might I create solid lines out of particle motion in a matrix>gen>matrix feedback loop using GL2? And then, how might that be done using GL Core instead of GL2? I might be, probably am, making a dumb mistake, but I can't figure out what that is. Any thoughts are highly appreciated. Thank you!

 i want to build some video/interaktive installations in max/msp/jitter. Therefore I would need some Windows machines for presentation of these installations. I would try to get some cheap Laptops because my budget is limited.. But I want to make sure, that my patches are running for sure. 

In general minimum System Requirements of Max 9 are

Which additional requirement  do i have for running Jitter in my Patches?

particle Systems, cv.jit objects, pose for interactive systems and OpenGL.. 

How do i determine the minimum of System requirements in jitter? For example wich kind of Graphics Card do I need at least? Are there inbuild graphic processors in cheap Laptops strong enough?

(Deep.Dark..Space...)spectral grains with pfft~

I have a 1 dimensional matrix with 3 planes (for x, y, z values) with a variable size of entries.

My Aim is to connect each entry with each other in the matrix and draw accordingly Line in OpenGL in a Jitter Window.

But additionally the lines should have different visibilities depending on how big the distance between the starting Point and End Point of each line is. The bigger the distance is the less visible the line should be. If the length of a line is too high the line should not be drawn. 

And all should work with a very good performance and high fps. 

For this requirements i was thinking about to write an

 in Max 9 and i am wondering i could use these Geometry Objects for my purpose?

I do not have any experience with Jitter Geometry Objects so does anyone have an idea about using jit.geom objects for my needs?
