Video Library not picking up correct resolution from CamTwist Studio

Getting this error:

2016-04-12 13:35:41.560 java[13582:1313660] Surface is the wrong size: Can’t find surface
2016-04-12 13:35:41.560 java[13582:1313660] Surface is the wrong size: 1280 720 vs 320.000000 240.000000

The cause is a settings mimatch between CamTwist and the Processing Video Library and I can resolve this by setting the CamTwist Studio video settings to 320 x 240 though this is entirely useless as it is far too small. I need to get the 720p output of CamTwist. When I run the processing sketch, the video library returns all available cameras and the biggest resolution it gets from CamTwist is 320 x 240 even though the program is set to, and is capable of outputting 1280 x 720.

My question is why isn't processing picking up the 720p output and how can I make it see it. Any help would be appreciated.

Using CamTwist 3.1Beta, OSX 10.11.something and Processing 3

I know this looks like a clone of this thread but I thought better of simply repurposing that thread.

Here's my code:

Main:

import processing.video.*;
Movie mov;

Capture cam;
Timer timer;
int countdownSecs = 1;

void setup()//--------------------------------------------------------------
{
  //fullScreen();
  size(320, 240); 
  timer = new Timer(width/2, height/2);

  mov = new Movie(this, "Dimension Loop 1.mp4");
  mov.play();

  String[] cameras = Capture.list();

  if (cameras.length == 0) {
    println("There are no cameras available for capture.");
    exit();
  } else {
    println("Available cameras:");
    for (int i = 0; i < cameras.length; i++) {
      println(cameras[i]);
    }

    // The camera can be initialized directly using an 
    // element from the array returned by list():
    cam = new Capture(this, cameras[0]);
    cam.start();
  }
}

void draw()//---------------------------------------------------------------
{
  //noCursor();
  if (cam.available() == true) {
    cam.read();
  }
  image(mov, 0, 0, width, height); //displays the movie behind the webcam
  //image(cam, 0, 0, width, height); //displays the webcam top left
  pushMatrix();
  scale(-1, 1); //reverses the webcam image
  image(cam.get(), -width, 0, width, height);
  popMatrix(); 
  // The following does the same, and is faster when just drawing the image
  // without any additional resizing, transformations, or tint.
  //set(0, 0, cam);

  timer.DisplayTime();
  if (timer.theTime == countdownSecs)
  {
    capture();
  }
}

void mouseReleased()//--------------------------------------------------------
{
  //if ((key == 's') || (key == 'S')) 
  //{
  timer.start();
  timer.currentTime();
  //}
}

void capture()//------------------------------------------------------------
{
  timer.start();
  timer.pause();
  println("captured");
  saveFrame("Open Day Photos/CGD-PhotoBooth-2016-######.png");
}

void movieEvent(Movie m) 
{
  m.read();
}

Timer Class:

class Timer
{
  long startTime;    // time in msecs that timer started
  long timeSoFar;    // use to hold total time of run so far, useful in 
                     // conjunction with pause
  boolean running;
  int x, y, theTime;   

  Timer(int posX, int posY)//-----------------------------------
  {
    x = posX;
    y = posY;
    running = false;
    timeSoFar = 0;
  }

  int currentTime()//----------------------------------------------------------
  {
    if (running)
    {
      return ((int)((millis() - startTime) / 1000.0));
    } else
    {  
      return ((int)(timeSoFar / 1000.0));
    }
  }

  void start()//---------------------------------------------------------------
  {
    running = true;
    startTime = millis();
  }

  void restart()//-------------------------------------------------------------
    // reset the timer to zero and restart, identical to start
  {
    start();
  }

  void pause()//--------------------------------------------------------------
  {
    if (running)
    {
      timeSoFar =   millis() - startTime  ;
      running = false ;
    }
  }
  void DisplayTime()//---------------------------------------------------------
  {
    String output = "";
    theTime = currentTime();
    output = output + theTime;
    fill(150, 0, 200);
    //textSize(500);
    //textAlign(CENTER);
    //text(output, x, y);
  }
}
