Working with Video in Jitter
Max provides powerful tools for working with video from real-time compositing and effects processing, to image analysis, live input capture and multi-channel displays. Whether you are getting started with Jitter or just looking for the next tool to add to your video kit, these resources can get you going.
Swappable Video Engine
The backend video library used by Jitter video objects is swappable, and can be changed globally via the videoengine preference or per-object. See the Video engines and Jitter Preferences guides for more information.
