For some reason the .time() will not work in p5. I’m only using createVideo in preload. I believe this is a chrome issue with local environments. Does anyone know a workaround?

It jumps right back to the first frame no matter what value you put in. I believe it’s something in Chrome and not p5 but I’m stumped now, and really wanted to be able to jump frames in the video.
