Reply #1 - Jun 4^th, 2010, 10:43pm Hey cxk There is a library for creating quicktime videos from your sketch, but I've found the best approach is simply to save every frame out to a jpg by putting calling 'save()' in your loop function. You can the use a tool to assemble these into avi/mov files. Jim

hey Jim,

Thank you for the reply.
Thats a great idea. But im wondering which one is best for system performance. And also do you think that quicktime video could have same quality with JPG image. Theoreticaly, yes. but what about processing. I think that im gonna try both. But JPGs sounds better.

ps. what was the library called ?

you can use processings movieMaker class
http://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/MovieMaker.html Its easy to use and you get your quicktime without the need to convert alot of images to a movie file.

you can setup different kind of codecs and quality settings. PhiLho once did a good comparison of those http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/num_1211318862.html

Reply #6 - Jun 9^th, 2010, 2:15am I use democreator to create some simple Photoshop tutorial videos and upload to youtube. It has a build video/audio editor and supports 720P HD. ScreenFlow for MAC does the same thing and has more editing features. I also bought it.

Reply #7 - Jun 9^th, 2010, 2:19am These screen capture programms are probably a good solution if you want to showcase how to use your sketch, you see the mouse. the windowframe, the menue if there is one. But for exporting a processing animation as video, i would still recommend the movie export.

Agreed,

you can even use noCursor() with screen capture softwares, ( i was gonna ) but think that purpose of recording is important.

Tutorial-video kind of project cant be done with movie export, but for purposes like recording the performance, recording the animation etc. it is remarkable.

Also, for macOS, there in no much options with capture softwares.

cheers everybody replied my question.

When using the video export function. it doesnt matter how fast/slow your program runs. If you draw thousands of particles and you just get a few frames per second it still runs at the right speed when using the quicktime export.
