Hi,

Is anyone experiencing issues with video playback? I can’t get any .mov files to play… I’ve even tried to run the example sketches on video playback and only the “reverse” example works, which uses a .mkv file. I haven’t tested any other formats yet.

I don’t get any errors, just a black screen. I’ve tried both using movieEvent() and calling a new frame from draw().

I keep a version of Processing 2 (as i still use some libs that were never updated) and .mov playback works fine here.

macOS 10.12.6 Processing 3.3.7

I reinstalled processing and all formats are now working fine… not sure what the problem was in the first place but anyway. 🤷‍♂️
