<![CDATA[unpack object (pix_film): number of frames not showing properly (showing as "1")]]>Hello,

I followed this tutorial, and the unpack function is not outputting the proper number of frames for the video I'm using. It is showing as "1", and this seems to be making it so I cannot jump from frame to frame. It seems from the comments under the tutorial video that others have this problem as well, but I cannot for the life of me find a solution to it. anyone have an idea of what I could have done wrong? I copied the patch exactly...

Thanks for any response!

I have no idea why this happened. The only bug thing that I changed was my audio devices when I plugged in my interface and played with amplitude control over luma offset.

EDIT: No, I can only read frames from .avi files it seems. I wonder why this is. Could it be a codec problem?

I built a sequencer that skips to specified frames as per the master clock, and I can only do this if PD knows the number of frames in a video.

All files but some avi files are doing this...all other files show the number of frames as "1".

I had that problem as well some years ago. Installing quicktime and choosing it as backend might have helped. Also i remember once i needed to open first one type of video after startup, and than the other type ran.
