Video Export from Program to VideoFile in Linux.
Nov 27th, 2008, 2:18am  
Hi, i am new to Processing, do i understand that right, that the VideoLibraries won't work with Linux?

"
Because Apple only supports QuickTime on Mac OS and Windows, other platforms (such as Linux) are not able to use the video library.
"
Source: http://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/index.html

Is that the reason that i get this ErrorMessage if i try to run File > Examples > Libraries > Video (MovieMaker) > Push Play:
"The package "processing.video" does not exis. You might be missing a library."
"Starting with release 0149, libraries must be installed in a folder named 'libraries' inside the 'sketchbook' folder."

I have a directory /home/jobo/sketchbook/libraries but it is empty.
All other Examples except the "Video (x)" worked well, so i guess i can't export video from my until now non-existing programs?

Is there a work-around?
How do you Linux-Processing-Voodoo-People out there solve it?

I am especially interested in Processing for generating Animations and using them in Videos, so export is crucial for me - thanks in advance for all tips Wink

Okay.

I am really just beginning, so sorry for stupid questions Wink

I guess i'll simply use saveFrame() inside the draw() Function and then use mencoder, ffmpeg, dvd-slideshow or another tool to make a video from the grabbed frames - is that THE way to do it?

Are there more possibilities?

Hi,
This should work:

It's the movie libary for linux. The capture works fine, but haven't been able to figure out how to export the movies (.mp4)
