Processing video

Processing Libraries
1

I’m trying to code a movie program even though i could use a premade program to place all the clips together but the program cant find my file.
I’m using video library for processing 4.
it keeps saying “Could not load movie file flappy1.mov”
flapp1.mov is in my movieTutorial folder

import processing.video.*;

Movie video;

void setup(){
  size(600,600);
  video = new Movie(this,"flappy1.mov");
  video.play();
}

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

The movie must be in your sketch folder / data folder

Edited

Its in the correct folder.

movie
movie780×584 28.5 KB

It’s case sensitive

Please check if mov or MOV

5

properties say mov and i typed mov

6

What happens when you try to rename the mov file under windows

7

Do we have to move flappy into data folder?

8

Are there other types of movie types i ran into a problem with sound and just changed the file type to make it work

9

I think there are different types of codecs and formats

11

Try another video and place it in the data folder

Data folder is a folder that literally named “data”. The easiest option to put a file in the directory correctly is just drag-n-dropping it into the Processing window with the sketch opened.
