How to export video on 4.4.1

[nimboos2255]

Since processing removed the movie maker, how to export using the video export library?

Abe Pazo’s Video Export library works in Processing 4.4.1, though I had a few hiccups on installation of the new version of Processing. It’s part of the Contributed Libraries available from the Sketch menu in Processing, and can also be downloaded at https://funprogramming.org/VideoExport-for-Processing/.

Getting ffmpeg installed in you system is probably the biggest hurdle to using Video Export. Depending on your system, there’s a wealth of advice on the internet about how to do this. I work with MacOS and found that Homebrew worked very well. I installed ffmpeg in Windows without much difficulty, though it was more complicated than using homebrew.

cheers,

Hello,

I have multiple versions of Processing to address issues as they arise with new versions.

Can't switch to p5.js mode

The same with Processing 4.4.1 in W10 environment: [image] I have multiple versions of Processing to manage issues like this: [image]

You can use Movie Maker from another version on the image files.
Processing 4.3.4 has Movie Maker.

Another tip to rename folders:

Processing 4.4.1 install options

Hello folks! I recently downloaded Processing 4.4.1 for Windows and installing in a W10 environment. The default on the website is an msi file: processing-4.4.1-windows-x64.msi I tried this but was not able to install to a custom folder on another drive. Browse was greyed out: [image] I had to go to Looking for older versions? on main page to find other options and found a portable zip file here: Releases · processing/processing4 · GitHub I was then able to install manually to a custom…

I’m curious. Why was Moviemaker removed? It had become a part of my workflow and made things quite simple.

Hi @justin_lincoln and others,

Thanks for your question!

The Movie Maker tool wasn’t migrated when we switched Processing’s build system to Gradle. Reintegrating it turned out to be more complicated than expected. Sorry that this change has disrupted your workflow.

In the meantime, I’ve packaged the tool separately: Release Movie Maker 2 · Stefterv/processing4-movie-maker · GitHub

You can install it by downloading MovieMaker.zip and extracting it into your sketchbook’s /tools folder.

We’re also working on adding it back through the Contributions Manager: processing/processing-contributions#73.

Could you let me know if this workaround works for you for now?

Thank you so much for a quick response. It works beautifully.
