Storing a single frame of video to PImage instance (Read 654 times)

Storing a single frame of video to PImage instance
Jul 14th, 2009, 2:36pm  
Beginner question here:
I am trying to store a single frame of a Quicktime movie to a PImage object. I can load the video into a Movie variable, and then I tried using the movie.jump() and movie.get() to store a frame inside the PImage, but it always seems to just insert the playing video into the PImage variable.
Do I need to use movie.loadPixels() and store each pixel of the frame to a PImage to get it to stick?
My goal is create a simple program to read through a series of video frames and create a poster sized image of the frames in set number of rows and columns.

i think i cannot understand what are you trying to do.
anyway, do you know movie object will call movieEvent() every time a new frame from any of your movie instances is available?

may be you can get any movie frame there:

Code:

void movieEvent( Movie m )
{
    yourMovie.read();
    yourPImage = m;
}
