extract frames from movie

edited July 2016 in Library Questions

Hello

I've written een sketch that converts certain parts of a movie file into animated gifs. It works pretty well. The "problem" is the way it works.

Right now I display the movie in my processing window and while it's playing (at standard 25fps) I capture frames using the gifAnimation addon and export them. so the speed at which my movie is converted to gifs is dependent on the length of my movie. so a 2 hour movie takes...2 hours to convert.

I would like to speed up this process. I would like to create gifs without having to play and display them in my processing window. Load frame X till Y straight from the filepath into a buffer (don't know if this is the right term) and export them. I hope this makes sense.
