hello  
i would like to play a movie as loop. unfortunately it always stucks at the end for a few millis before it plays over again. what can i do to prevent this?  
thank you for help

```plaintext
Movie myMovie;

void setup() {
  size(1000, 1000);
  myMovie = new Movie(this, "drehen.mp4");
  myMovie.loop();
}

void draw() {
  //tint(255, 20);
  image(myMovie, 0, 0);
}

// Called every time a new frame is available to read
void movieEvent(Movie m) {
  m.read();
}
```

Hi @blindschleiche,

Are you sure that your movie exactly ends and starts again without any black screen or pause?
