So, the technical essence of this problem is that jit.qt.movie defers all its input to the low priority (main) thread, right? You'd want an output at scheduler rate, which is currently impossible.

So I was thinking about two possible solutions: 

a) provide an object that stores matrices and supports scheduler rate access (something like jit.matrixset except that it also defers to main).

b) currently, querying an attribute of any jitter object is also deferred. This is illustrated in the patch below. Now if for example the gettime message to jit.qt.movie in scheduler thread would not be deferred to the main thread, it would be possible to at least record the current times with a separate (scheduler-rate) metro and render the movie back later in a non-realtime situation. In broadcast quality.
