Hi, I’m trying to import a movie into my sketch using the movie library. It used to work in the past but now it doesn’t … it crashes in P2D and P3D, and in the normal mode it shows the video in a distorted way

![Screenshot from 2021-10-31 09-55-24](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/4/4458bebf57ab978f13e897742f5f63e4c8858a1d.png)

It’s an MP4. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi @xeronimo,

Welcome to the community! 😉

Can you provide the following information?

- Which operating system you are running on

- Which version of Processing and the video library you have

- The smallest piece of code to reproduce your bug with a download link to your mp4 file (for testing purposes)

Thanks! 😋

Right now I’m using p5js where it works correctly … I’ll get back to this.
