question of a newbie
Sep 26th, 2005, 1:19am
 
Hi everybody!
To beginning, I would like congratulate Ben fry for his work which i could have discovered reading "Codes de Création"by John Maeda and all people who build this great software!
I discovered since two days only Processing.
I find this software excellent.
But i met problems to import a video...
In fact i succeeded in importing a picture but not a movie file.
I don't understand the place where i slide my video file.
I tried to put it in several folders but it's very hard for me to understand....

In fact i would like use this opensource:
"http://www.flong.com/writings/lists/list_slit_scan_img/jenkins_slit_camera.pde "  for one of my video but i don't succeed to import video in Processing.
I would like create fluid movements in the idea of "The Fourth Dimension" by Zbig Rybczynski and this movie clip "http://www.microcuts.net/misc/stream/unintended_512k.ram "

it would be very cool if someone could explain me the process to use video in Processing simply.
thanks very much

This'll get you started, and from there you can modify the .pde you link to by updating it to work using Beta processing. The .pde file you reference is for alpha, so things like loop are deprecated in favour of draw() etc.

The movie reference provides enough information for you to be able to do this, but if you have any problems, just post here!

This link is the complete reference secction for the video library and will provide you with the necessary info.

Good luck.
