> Hello @bhaskar1955, The example works with: Windows 10 Processing 4.01 (August 9, 2022) [Releases · jaegonlee/opencv-processing · GitHub](https://github.com/jaegonlee/opencv-processing/releases) I did get this error: And added this delay to correct that problem: void setup() { size(720, 480); video = new Movie(this, "street.mov"); opencv = new OpenCV(this, 720, 480); opencv.startBackgroundSubtraction(5, 3, false); println(frameCount, video.width, video.height); video.loop(); video.play(); int t1 = millis();…

I made the same check for the movie width otherwise I got an error.

I did get this working with the Processing examples converting live video to movie video:
