How can I use the camera as input to control the speed of a movie?

sufi

I want to use the camera as input (if there's a lot of frame by frame change the value will be ~1, if there's little frame by frame change the value will be ~0) to control the speed (ranging from x0.5 to x2) of a 10 second movie which will be constantly looping.

I couldn't manage to figure out how to do that. I'm probably using the video library wrong.

Would appreciate any help! <3

@sufi -- It sounds like you need to write two simple programs, then connect them.

1. Write a program that changes the speed of a looping 10 second movie. E.g. when you type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 the speed changes.
2. Write a program that measures the frame-by-frame change value of a camera and prints a 0-1 number on the screen.

Once you have written these, you can combine them. Have you gotten either of the two working? If not, where are you stuck?
