Hi all,

I’m trying to export my sketch using the VideoExport function (Hamoid import) but am losing sound on playback. I’ve copied my code below - am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,  
Jess

```auto
import com.hamoid.*;
import ddf.minim.*;

Minim minim;
AudioPlayer song;

int spacing = 16; // space between lines in pixels
int border = spacing*2; // top, left, right, bottom border
int amplification = 3; // frequency amplification factor
int y = spacing;
float ySteps; // number of lines in y direction

VideoExport videoExport;

void setup() {
  size(800, 800);
  background(255);
  strokeWeight(1);
  stroke(0);
  noFill();
  minim = new Minim(this);
  song = minim.loadFile("Julia.mp3");
  song.play();
  videoExport = new VideoExport(this, "myVideo.mp4");
  videoExport.setFrameRate(30);
  videoExport.startMovie();
}
void draw() {
  int screenSize = int((width-2*border)*(height-1.5*border)/spacing);
  int x = int(map(song.position(), 0, song.length(), 0, screenSize));
  ySteps = x/(width-3*border); // calculate amount of lines
  x -= (width -3*border)*ySteps; // set new x position for each line
  float frequency = song.mix.get(int(x))*spacing*amplification;
  rect (x+border, y*ySteps+border, frequency*50, frequency*50);
  videoExport.saveFrame();
}
void stop() {
  videoExport.endMovie();
  song.close();
  minim.stop();
  super.stop();
}

```

If anyone is able to help review my code to understand why I have no sound on video replay I’d really appreciate it! Many thanks, Jess

Hi there…  
i tested your code, In my processing 4.01 only comes up the sound mp3.  
Maybe this library is too old…
