Capturing individual frames
Jul 21st, 2006, 5:30pm  
Hi there,

Does anyone happen to know if there is a way of capturing individual frames from a webcam? I simply want to capture e.g. 10 frames and display each one as a separate image.

So far all of the experimentation I've done with video has been simply playing a live feed e.g. 'image(capture,-50,-50,100,100);'

cheers,
Matt

why not for every frame when you tell the camera to getFrame, you save the frame to an image?  you can make an PImage object with the same size as the video, and just do copy(video, image) and the pixel array from that video frame will copy to the image.  better yet, make an PImage array and just copy to the coorisponding PImage in the array.
