[jitter] Re: How to get jit.qt.movie to output bangs on clip start and end?

[jit.qt.movie] reference: see loadram and maybe preroll messages.
If you want to cross fade between 2 movies, you will have to use 2 instances
of [jit.qt.movie], though. And that will be a good approach even if you just
switch, without crossfading.
