Importing processing.video

I’m trying to import the processing.video and it doesn’t seem to be working. It raises an exception stating ‘This sketch requires the “video” library.’ Where/how do I get it?

Hi @cupofcalculus!

Are you trying to use Processing.py from the command line or in an external IDE?
I’ve heard that using some built-in libraries in these circumstaces can be hard.

But in the Processing IDE, the best way to import Java libraries is to choose from the Sketch menu.
Sketch > Import Library> Video that will get you this line of code:

add_library('video')

You will use import statements for the Python standard library and pure Python modules mostly (note that IDE tabs work like modules in Python mode).
