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.
You can use Movie Maker from another version on the image files.
Processing 4.3.4 has Movie Maker.
Another tip to rename folders:
:)
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.
