i've been using a patch on windows in pd extended .39.3 that uses pix_data to extract color info from a video playing in pix_film. the patch works fine.

however when i try to use the same patch on the mac, pix_data is spitting out very large rgb values for every pixel (over 100/150 rather than between 0 and 1). however if (on the mac) i plug pix_image into the same pix_data object, it works properly, spitting out the correct rgb values (between 0 and 1).

i've tried this patch on about half a dozen or more macs both intel and powerpc using old and new versions of pd extended, all with the same result and it always works fine on a pc.

i'd really like to get this working on a mac.

is this a bug w/ pix_film? anybody have similar issues/resolutions?

sounds like you've got a different issue from mine. if [pix_film] is loading in the help patch, then it sounds like the libraries are loading. not sure how to fix the problem, but a workaround would be to open the help patch, save it as a different patch, then delete what you don't need from it and build your objects in that patch.
