output resolution problems with MovieMaker
Nov 7th , 2008, 4:03pm
This may not be an issue relating to Processing, but rather to video. If so, sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question. I'm outputting to .mov using MovieMaker but am having issues with the resolution. Here's the strange part though, I uploaded the clip so I could show the poor quality to this message board and the clip looks great online. Does anyone know what might cause this? Here are examples of resolution: Still from the processing sketch: http://www.torifoster.com/mothercity/images/resolution-processing.jpg Still from the .mov running from my computer: http://www.torifoster.com/mothercity/images/resolution-video.jpg .mov uploaded to my website: http://www.torifoster.com/mothercity/images/2008_11_06.mov Here's my code: import processing.video.*; int xpos; int ypos; int xWidth; int yHeight; int count = 0; int numImages = 117; PImage[] images = new PImage[numImages]; PImage maskImg; MovieMaker mm; // Declare MovieMaker object void setup() { size(1050, 500); background(0); frameRate(6); xpos = 1050; ypos = 10; mm = new MovieMaker(this, width, height, "drawing.mov", 6, MovieMaker.H263, MovieMaker.LOSSLESS); // This loop draws the mask over each image in the image array. for (int i = 1; i <= images.length; i++) { images[i-1] = loadImage("B (" + i + ").jpg"); } maskImg = loadImage("aMask3.jpg"); // This loop draws each image in the image array. for (int i = 1; i <= images.length; i++) { images[i-1] = loadImage("B (" + i + ").jpg"); images[i-1].mask(maskImg); } } void draw() { if (count < images.length) { tint(225, 225, 225, createTint()); image(images[count], xpos, ypos); count++; mm.addFrame(); // Add window's pixels to movie } for (int j = distanceBtwnImages(); j <= distanceBtwnImages(); j++) { xpos = xpos - j; } } int distanceBtwnImages(){ int numberIs; numberIs = 25; return numberIs; } int createTint(){ int numberIs; numberIs = 160; return numberIs; } // This is the method that stops the recording of the movie void keyPressed() { if (key == ' ') { mm.finish(); // Finish the movie if space bar is pressed! } }
