Video Capture without displaying it on the stage
Feb 22nd, 2008, 8:55am  
Im working on a project right now that I would like to capture video when audio reaches a certain level. This works for the most part thanks to the sonia library.

However, I'm wondering if theres a way I can record what the webcam sees without actually displaying it on the screen. Right now Im looking at the MovieMaker which is just taking everything and dumping it into a quicktime movie.

Any suggestions?

well, there's (http://dev.processing.org/reference/everything/javadoc/processing/video/MovieMaker.html )
public void addFrame(int[] _pixels, int w, int h), so maybe you can feed it with the cam-image directly...
addFrame(cam.pixels, cam.width, cam.height);
haven't tried this though.

if people are trying to change the width or the hight for the capture movie, you will get the error; "Animation Thread"java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException"

use this; addFrame(int[] _pixels,int w,int h) and it will work
