Jitter is an extension to Max that allows flexible generation and manipulation of video, matrix, and 3D graphics data. Jitter is all about matrix data -- any data that can be expressed in rows and columns, such as video and still images, multidimensional geometry, as well as text, spreadsheet data, particle systems, voxels, or audio. Jitter is useful to anyone interested in real-time video processing, custom effects, 2D/3D graphics, audio/visual interaction, data visualization, and analysis.
This three-day sequence of evening classes covers Cycling 74's Jitter environment and is designed for students with at least a basic understanding of Max programming. (Graduates of the Max/MSP Day
School will be adequately prepared for the Jitter night school.)
Topics will include the following:

- Jitter's data structures: matrices, planes, dimensions, video
- Jitter's programming model: scheduling, interaction with other Max/MSP processing
- Interactive real-time video processing
- Using Jitter with live camera input
- Sound programming with Jitter

After completing this course, a student will be able to write Jitter programs that generate and/or process video in response to real-time control and/or simple algorithmic processes. Graduates of this course will also have the skills to read and understand larger Jitter programs and the foundation for exploring more advanced features of Jitter via tutorials, help patches, and online documentation.
