Sorry, no time to patch it for you now, but basically send the total number of frames output by [pix_film] to the cold inlet of mod, send the output of the counter to the hot inlet of [mod]. By changing the speed of the [metro] in the counter, you change frame playback rate. You can also put another [mod] below that to loop a smaller section, with a [+] following it to make the frame offset.
In bad ASCII:
[metro (playback speed in ms)] | [f]x[+1] | [mod (total number of frames)] | [mod (length of loop in frames)] | [+ (starting frame of loop)] | (cold inlet of [pix_film])
Hope that makes sense! I'll leave it to you to figure out how to make it run backwards ;-)
Best, D.

Yes, Connect the second outlet of [pix_film] to [unpack]. Then the first outlet of [unpack] will give you the total amount of frames of the video you load. So you can connect the first outlet of [unpack] to the last inlet of [counter]. This will set the maximum value to reach for [counter]. I use [counter] to play each frame of the video and i send the scratch values in its third inlet.
this is how i do it... but as Derek were suggesting there is the [mod] object too.. Derek how do you use it? just for curiosity... thanks..

Marco Hi Marco, This has been normal behavior as long as I have been aware of it. That doesn't mean that it's not a bug, however ;-) If you want looping + scrubbing, a better way would be to build a counter with a [mod] object set to the total number of frames in your clip, that way you could change the payback speed of the clip and (with some adjustments to the counter) skip around in the frames as well as go backwards, etc etc. (Nice topic for a FLOSS Manuals tutorial, eh Marius?) best!
