Hi, I didn’t post all of my code because it’s not necessary, the problem is the same. I did a snake game and i wanted to put a recorded video as a background of the game menu, but with the movie, the framerate drop to 15 and without the movie I have 60fps. Can u help me pls ? I don’t understand why the framerate drop like that ?

Hi!

Try commenting out filter(blur). The filter() function in Processing takes a lot of CPU.
