11.2: Using the Movie Object for Displaying Recorded Videos - Processing Tutorial

[@SpaceAgente]

Loving spending Saturday morning with Professor Shiffman. As someone who went to uni for computer science (in the 90s), I’ve got lots of experience with learning coding from people, you are one of the best teachers I’ve ever met. You explain things clearly, slowly and in a fun way. Thank you. Xoxo

Daniel I love you

Dear Daniel thnak you so much for your wonderful tutorials. I am looking for how to play several videos one after one when I click on an object?!! If you have a suggestion ?!! Thanks a lot in advance

Hello! I have a problem, when I execut it, the sound sistem works, but I can’t see the video, it’s all the screen grey.

You should go too the discord

eres increible gracias por enseñar de esa manera

Hello Daniel, first of all, really thanks for all of your tutorials, you're amazing. Sharing all of your knowledge could open infinite possibilities for infinite other people. So really thanks. My question is simple. How is it possible to create a "Ring loop" of a video. My purpose is to take a video source and to start the video the first time in the normal speed. Then, when the video ends, i would like to see it in reverse to create a Ring structure. I think it's very easy to realize, hope you can help me soon.

Hi Daniel. I got a problem with my videos. The program displays them perfectly, but when I export, it keeps stuck for hours.

[@mrss649]

Maybe try using the discord to ask this question

[@MuhammadBilal-eb6fh]

Sir i've an question about running a video on arduino by using processing? How we can run a video on arduino by using processing? And how we can give path of video on processing to run means where video is placed that can be accessible to processing? kindly guide me

[@mrss649]

I don't think an arduino has enough storage for a video. And also, he doesn't teach arduino tutorials.

Hello Daniel ! I m trying to make my own Movie Player so far is going well by adding the basics functions of a player start stop pause change screen size, color controls etc. Is quite easy actually but I don t know how to do a function in which I choose my own movie from computer. I need to use select Input method , create a variable that memorize the path and use it after or how? Also I would like to know how to use a subtitle. I made a StringList with all replies from movie and another array with their times in seconds by using time(); function and then with a counter every time this time from array comes for 2 seconds from time() to time +2 sec it can display my respective reply as a text on the bottom of the image. But is there a way to make processing recognize a standard subtitle like.srt or sub or txt? Thanks.

Would you mind asking at discourse.processing.org/! It's a better platform for Processing and p5.js related code questions. You can share code there easily! Feel free to link from here to your post.

Hi, Daniel, thank you for your excellent tutorials. I have been watching all the way along. I tried several videos in different formats, but there are always errors"could not load movie file" appears. All of my files are in the right location. I didnt succeed for even one time. Is there any limitation for certain kinds of videos, or video formats?

[@sonialangemotion]

Hi, did you find which video codec was write for this ? I'm getting the same problem. Thanks :)

[@muaz_muna5091]

same here..i feel u

[@Kta8548i]

Me too

[@0Arman0]

for me, it was because i didn't create a folder called "data" and put the movie in there. Before that I got the same error.

[@MuhammadBilal-eb6fh]

same situation here.. can anyone guide?

[@MichiSzerman]

Do you know why some movie files play and others don't? I'm looking all over to figurethis out. For example, I have a movie file I created from cinema4D, and is saved as such. I have another movie file I created as a screen capture in quicktime. The screen capture movie plays fine, while the other one doesn't play at all and does not throw up any errors. I've checked the file names and changed them numerous times and made sure they're all added in the data file. THANK YOU!

[@TheCodingTrain]

+Michelle Sherman Only certain codecs are supported, there is some more info here. github.com/processing/processing-video/wiki

[@LouT24]

i have a really basic problem in that import procssing.video* isn't recognised - I'm guessing I need to download a particular library? I've tried downloading the 'Video' library from Processing but it doesn't seem to want to download :(

[@fatonisodiq9341]

Amazing, thanks for the video 👍

[@mrtnmur]

Hi Daniel! I wanted to ask if you could explain how to code your position like 'z' on a real physical space to act as the time() variable, like you made it with the cursor in this video. Would be very very grateful. Thank you!!!

[@mrtnmur]

Is there a possibility to display videos in Processing without having to import an asset ?

[@Jo-lx7gv]

hi Daniel! How can I slow down the frames from the sound of the voice?

[@mrss649]

You should ask this on the discord. There will probably an answer there.

[@md.shamimalmahmud2778]

When I run the program I got this message everytime " RuntimeException: Could not load file e.mov "

[@coding_sogang]

You have to locate your video in the "data" folder that located on the sketch project folder

[@MuhammadBilal-eb6fh]

@@coding_sogang After placing video in "data" folder then same message shown in the screen.. "Runtime Exception error : Could not load file e.mov "

[@mrss649]

@@MuhammadBilal-eb6fh after putting it in the data folder have you changed the path in the processing sketch to 'data/e.mov'?

[@nasirbashak2034]

how to do the same thing in P5.js? or can someone suggest me how to capture each frame and display in the draw loop?

[@quirkyquester]

thank youuuu!

[@sergiocombariza9973]

How can I add more than one video in processing?

[@mounirdekali8874]

source code link not available :/

[@animanoir]

why do we need to use the this keyword?

[@FVRTT]

Do I need to put the video in a specific folder for it to start looping? Processing can´t find it when it's located in a random place in the disk

[@liamclarke8217]

This is an old comment so you've probably figured it out by now. But just in case: create a folder entitled 'data' in the folder your sketch was saved in (on my machine this was C:\Users\Liam\Documents\Processing\*sketchnamehere*) and place your source video/images/grandma in there.

[@JulienFAUJANET]

@@liamclarke8217 THANKS... And Daniel said it in a previous video...
