I’m able to import Processing just fine but I’m unable to import the Processing Video library.  
I’ve tried tried adding the whole folder to the library and adding the .jars to the library.  
When I just put in the whole folder I am able to import it but it doesn’t recognize any of the methods.  
I assume I’ve been going about this the wrong way because I’ve been stumped on trying to get it to work for almost the past week.

I understood most of that, but I have the import statement do I need a second one for a different part of it?
