Movie Maker version 4.1.3

Processing Libraries
1

Hi

I am using, for me, a new version of Processing (4.1.3). I have produced a number of image files:
1.png, 2.png… 250.png and have the saved in a special frame folder.
When I am running the movie maker it does not end with the last picture. It rather scrambles the files.
Should I rename the files or what can I do.
When I am using a commercial program (with watermarks) it gives a correct result.

Best regards
K.

Hello @Kylie,

Try sequential numbers that are the same length padded with zeroes in front of the number.

0001
0002
…
0020
0021
…
0200
0201
…
2000
2001

Processing can do this when saving frames:
https://processing.org/reference/saveFrame_.html

You may need a utility program to rename them if they are generated outside of a Processing sketch.

Hi
Thanks! - It worked. I created a special function, where Hit is the saved frame counter.

void   SaveToFile(int Hit){
  if (Hit<10){saveFrame("/frame/Path-000"+str(Hit)+".png");}
  if (Hit>=10&&Hit<100){saveFrame("/frame/Path-00"+str(Hit)+".png");}
  if (Hit>=100&&Hit<1000){saveFrame("/frame/Path-0"+str(Hit)+".png");}
  if (Hit>=1000&&Hit<10000){saveFrame("/frame/Path-"+str(Hit)+".png");}
}

Or even easier :

void SaveToFile(int Hit){
saveFrame("/frame/Path-"+nf(Hit, 5)+".png");
}
