using still frames from video
Jan 27th, 2010, 11:31pm  
Hello everybody,
I'm pretty new with processing and looking for a solution to print still images from a video as an array (similar to mosaic) I tried with the following code but I don't understand when using the image() code why it is still a video.
For example if I paint it with the mouse the video is "frozen" as still images, but in this case it is still showing the video.
can anybody explain that?

Quote:
import processing.video.*;
int frameWidth = 640;
int frameHeight = 480;
int numPixels;
int blockSize = 40;
Movie myMovie;

void setup() {
  size(frameWidth,frameHeight,P3D);
  noStroke();
  background(0);
  myMovie = new Movie(this, "newyear.mov");
  myMovie.loop();
  numPixels = width / blockSize;
}
void movieEvent(Movie myMovie) {
  myMovie.read();
}
void draw() {
  for (int j = 0; j < numPixels;j++) {
    for (int i = 0; i < numPixels; i++){
      image(myMovie,i*blockSize, j*blockSize, blockSize, blockSize);
    }
  }
}

That is the code I was trying out...
Thank you in advance....

I'm still working on it Lips Sealed
I figured out how to use the
myMovie.jump(q * myMovie.duration()); function to define the position in the movie that I want to load, but it doesn't seem precise enough.
can I address exactely frame X this way (by float number)? does anybody know about these problems. In my case sometime frame x or frame x+1 or frame x-1 was loaded ????
or is there another way to load one specific frame x in a movie?
