converting quicktime to image sequence
May 6th, 2008, 6:41pm
 
Hi all,

Processing's video capabilities are insufficient for my purposes mostly because I am building a non-linear editor of sorts and it takes arguments in terms of seconds instead of frames.  

I am considering converting the videos into arrays of images and then exporting them back to videos, in which case I have two questions: how will this effect my performance and has anyone written code for this that I can use?  

Finally, I guess I never realized the limitations of Java in regard to video.  Can anyone give recommendations on languages to work with video (I'm considering Flash).  I mostly like processing because, being Java based, it can run cross-platform over the web as well as locally.    

Thanks,

Zach

Bumping this and clarifying that I'm just looking for a way to manipulate video frame by frame (similar to in Jitter), rather than by seconds.  Thanks.
