So what I've been trying to do, with none to limited experience in MaxMSP, is to create a patch which shows a little screen with live footage from a webcam. The user claps his hands, a microphone picks the sound up and saves the current image as JPG on the user's computer.
I can find the basic elementes such as the microphone element and I found out by googling how to get the webcam footage on a screen in Max MSP but after that my experience with Max MSP is next to none...
Here is my patch:

What do I need more to accomplish my goal? I've been reading about filters and jitters on forums but this won't make any sense to me right now..
