Quicktime output and more.
« on: Jan 25th, 2004, 8:10pm » |

First off -- Processing is great. I am a graphic designer and the extent of what I have done with programming and scripting languages is a little bit of Objective C (Cocoa on OS X) and Actionscript for Flash. I was amazed at how quickly I could get up to speed with Processing and create fun and interesting things manipulating images and quicktime clips.
That brings me to my big question --
Would it be possible to take what is visually created during the main loop and save each iteration as a frame in an uncompressed Quicktime file?
The video library looks like it allows for Processing to dispaly and capture video, but there is nothing to allow it to write video. Am I mistaken?
I understand that it is possible to write your own Libraries, and I would, but I imagine that I would be getting very deep in over my head. Is it possible to hire programmers to create Processing Libraries? If so, what experience/skills should I be looking for?
Thanks for your help / input.

for the time being, you could do it if you wanted to learn quicktime for java, and just write some extra code to handle it.
the other answer is that it's coming, and that the code is on my hard disk but in a mess, and i just haven't had the time to add it, since it's a very low priority thing compared to some of the other things.

If you use frameGrab to save image targas then you can just bring them into After Effects or something as a sequence and then just export it as a Movie File. You can't use TIFF as the file format tho cuz after effects won't read them from P5.

How did I miss the whole save() and saveFrame() thing? I can finally stop using the OSX Grab App and timing things "just right". Ugh. (I'm kicking myself).
Thanks for the tip.. saving frames as sequential images will tide me over until Quicktime saves make some level of priority on the list, and will certainly result in fewer curses than an attempt to learn quicktime for java.
Thanks to you both for your replies.

aherm, yeah.. scloopy's suggestion makes a bit more sense.
i spend too much time thinking about what p5 can't do, rather than the things it's actually capable of.

Just an FYI for anybody reading this and trying to do the same thing - Quicktime Pro is much cheaper than AfterEffects and can do the same thing, only with the TIF format.
