import processing.video.\*;  
Movie myMovie;

void setup() {  
size(200, 200);  
myMovie = new Movie(this, “abc.mp4”);  
myMovie.play();  
}

void draw() {  
image(myMovie, 0, 0);  
}

void movieEvent(Movie m) {  
m.read();  
}

No error is prompted, the video box is only gray.  
Can someone help me?

Hello,

Please format your code:  
[https://discourse.processing.org/faq#format-your-code](https://discourse.processing.org/faq#format-your-code)

It works fine with example from here:  
[https://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Movie\_read\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Movie_read_.html)

And a movie added to the sketch folder:  
[https://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Movie.html](https://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Movie.html)  
I change size() for I can view a larger video.

You can drag and drop a file on to sketch folder to add one.

I did have to wait a few seconds for it to load; try with a small test file.

Working examples with a small audio file:
