Hello,

This sketch runs very well when I use a small number of images in the array, and when the stills are taken from standard def and not high def footage. Now that I’m using high def, and a greater number of stills, I run out of memory (anything over about 150 stills causes the program to stop running). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I would like to be able to use upwards of 700 images in the array.

Please also note that I am a novice, so basic answers that assume I know very little would be greatly appreciated!

if(count%page.length ==0)count=0;

which causes it to loop, I would love to know how to do that!

For example, in order to draw array images 75 – 125 I tried declaring:

numImages = 125;    //To end the array at 125

count = 75;    //To have the array start counting at 75

But instead of getting a total of 50 images drawn (the desired 75 – 125), I got images 75 – 125, and then 0 – 75 drawn right afterwards.

Code:

int imageSpacing;

int numImages;

int count;

PImage[] page;

PImage maskArray;

void setup() {

  size(12000, 1080);

  background(0);

  numImages = 700;

  imageSpacing = 12;

  count = 1;

  page = new PImage[numImages];

  maskArray = loadImage("Mask 1108.jpg");

  //Load Images in Memory

  for (int i=0; i<page.length; i++) {

    page[i] = loadImage("Move " + i +".jpg");

  }

  noLoop();

}

void draw() {

    for (int k=0; k<numImages; k++) {

      page[count].mask(maskArray);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 1, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 2, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 3, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 4, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 5, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 6, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 7, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 8, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 9, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 10, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 11, 0);

      image(page[count], (k*imageSpacing) + 12, 0);

      count++;

      if(count%page.length ==0)count=0;

    }

      saveFrame("Exports/Composite ##.tif");    //Exports the image

  }
