How to get Youtube video into Max (jitter) using Syphon and Quartz

This method doesn’t work. Check out this link for a better way 5/2014

Original post…

[another update – having issues with video noise in the quartz viewer 12/2013 – have tried various obvious things without success – overall this is kind of a kluge anyway]

An update to previous post

1. Read this post about QC + syphon

http://cycling74.com/forums/topic/using-jitter-to-display-a-website/

Have installed this plugin with Quartz Composer

http://code.google.com/p/cogewebkit/

Now have installed a Syphon server example in quartz with a youtube video. Load this file:

tkzic/quartz/GoGe WebKit RC3/Example Patches/GoGe Players/Webkit Stuff/SimpleBrowser syphon.qtz

Then run the client example Max help file from Syphon:

tkzic/syphon/Max 6 Help/jit.gl.syphonclient.maxhelp

You will need to add the folder with the syphon externals to your max file path – in my case:

tkzic/syphon/

Adam Rokhsar’s Max frame subtraction example

Uses video frame subtraction in jitter to control playback of audio clip.

download

https://github.com/tkzic/max-projects

folder: frame-subtraction

patch: frameSubtraction_example.maxpat

You will also need an audio file: aiff, wav, etc., to load into a Max buffer.

dependencies

You will also need the cv.jit library (computer vision): http://jmpelletier.com/cvjit/

Add the location of these files to your path in Max using Options | File Preferences.

Note: When I loaded the patch in Mac OS 10.8 – the computer automatically downloaded and installed Java updates.

instructions

  • Load an audio file for playback
  • Try setting minimum summed pixels to 150,000 or less for greater effect – depending on amount of light in the room

Max audio visualization

In Max examples under jitter-examples/audio, are examples of cool things you can do to make audio visualizations. The example patches can be used by just feeding in some audio from another patch.

The above and below pictures were made from jit.gl.nurbs-audiorender-tz and tz-synth-4.2-visual or something like that –

Note: Local files are in  the Max teaching examples/tz examples folder.

try the last presets… the presets in the jitter patch don’t restore the graphics that were happening when they are saved. I think because the settings need to be restored in a particular order – but you’ll get the idea anyway.
