I second. Video chop, chop is some wierd and wonderful feature of Processing. I've had to resort to handling things frame by frame (ie: get frames into data folder, select them all, rename, and loadImage("import ("+number+").jpg") each one I want to alter into a buffer of PImages).

It was choppy with a movie file with a big image. A smaller image movie file (320,240) seemed fine though, even though the size on disk was twice as large (50mb as opposed to 21mb).

In my experience Processing gets really stroppy about painting big images. But my experience is really limited and it might just be down to my inexperience. Perhaps one of our seniors could clarify?

yeah, we've been aware of this but i haven't had a chance to work on the movie library.

generally, the video library isn't made for performance, since processing will probably never be all that good at just playing a bunch movies, the point is more to be able to get the pixel data and do things with it.

that said, the current framerates coming back from Movie are ridiculously slow, so it needs to be fixed.

i'm gonna close the thread because it's now in the bugs database, and followup can happen there once the db goes live.
