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
```auto
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

It’s case sensitive
Please check if mov or MOV

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.
