Thanks

I was running through some old posts of mine and noticed I had written up a really simple way to export animated Gifs from your processing projects. and thought I would share it. (seeing as animated gifs are all the rage :) )

If your looking for this functionality head over to my web site (because you need a Jar I've provided) and quickly add this option to your projects :)

http://www.bensimms.co.uk/gif-animation-for-java/

I was searching for a solution for the following problem but nothing worked out yet. So I hope someone can help me!

When I epxort an app for mac out of processing (including the option for embedded java) i get the error message "Unable to load Java Runtime Environment" when i want to open the exported app on a mac with no java installed.

Is there anything I can do, to make the exported app work without further installations or settings?

I'm using Processing 3 on macOS Sierra

Thanks in advance!

Note: my os is Windows 10 64bit

I searched on web and I found a tip in order to receive the diagnostic as follows:

Terminal command:

c:............\HUD_GUI\application.windows64> java -cp lib* HUD_GUI

Terminal reply:

I'm a IT teacher. How can I automatically convert PROCESSING CODE into Unified Modeling Language (UML)?

Are there any tools/software or open source projects for this task?

Thanks for your answers

I'm having issues exporting my processing program into a self contained application. I'm hoping someone here can help, and I apologize if I am asking this in the wrong place.

I have two instances of my program; one using the sound library and the other the minim library. Both run fine in the processing environment. I've tried exporting these in all possible formats (full screen, not full screen, with Java included, without)

When I export the version using the sound library, it crashes/hangs once a sound file is called. I tried commenting out the first couple of sound files and the program keeps going until the next sound file is called.

When I export the minim version, it just shows a grey screen and never starts the program.

I'm hoping someone out there might have an idea or two I can try to fix this.

The program is for an exhibit this weekend and will run in the background. I'm trying to export it as it's own application because I assume it will use less system resources than running it in processing. Is this assumption correct?

Thanks!

I am using Windows 10 and processing 2. and I am developing a game by using Kinect with SimpleOpenNI library.

After I exported this program as an application and I tried to open it, it got stuck at the first screen (it doesn't go to the next screen) Previously, I had the same problem and at that time, I found SimpleOpenNI jar file had a problem. So I changed SimpleOpenNI jar file and then the application worked fine after exported.

However, it doesn't work now even though I followed the same step. I was wondering what the problem is.

Thanks for your help!!

Solved!!

i have installed the latest version today (3.3) and am following some tutorials, but the things look a bit different on my PDE. Doing File>Export Application> from the menu doesn't create any applet folder in the project folder inside the sketchbook. The project folder contains some other folders (application.linux32, application.linux64, application.linux-armv6hf, data, project.pde). Where should i search for the applet folder, or this feature has changed in version 3.3?

Thank you. David.

Like the title says I want to export my processing code to a single exe file that I could just easily send around

I know there's a export function in processing but I don't see a way to export the program to a single file, Then I thought I could just turn the jar into an exe but it appears you need 2 jar files so that wouldn't work either

Also is there a way to make sure windows doesn't detect my program as a virus? without marking it with "Trusted" so I can just send it to anyone without having to ask them to whitelist it

Thanks anyway :D

p.s.: sorry for my bad english.

https://github.com/hamoid/Fun-Programming/tree/master/processing/ideas/2015/01/streamToFFMPEG

It allows you to build a video by adding frames one by one. No need to save all frames first and then merge them into a video. It uses ffmpeg and pipes. In this demo, you can hold the mouse down to record. You don't need to record everything as one long segment: you can observe and when you see something interesting happening, hold down record (ok, I have to admit you won't see much exciting happening in this demo :-).

It will have to be adapted to Windows and OS X, and it should be configurable (bitrate, video format, etc).

But maybe it can be useful to someone already.

I export application from Processing for Win 32/64. When I give this my friend, he not run the program without Java.

1) How I can create an installer with Java at which for people Java isn't set ?

2) Why the application can not work at Win 32bit ?

I tried different methods, one is http://funprogramming.org/VideoExport-for-Processing/ which works in some way. But the bigger the quality the sooner the animation (after 1min) is getting slower and off sync to the original FPS (FrameRate) settings.

I already looked into https://vvvv.org/ which does not has a good export option either. I want to create a abstract graphics music video (different music instruments are used as input for generating different visuals).

General question: Is there a way to render animations off screen and not in realtime in processing? So that I could export my animation in high quality within a correct frame rate? Thanks a lot.

I exported an application. I opens fine on my computer using mac 10.9 which I used for the export. but when open it on another mac with 10.7 it doesnt work. First I thought it was because of old operating system so I tried to export it with processing 2 instead of 3 but with the same result.

I looked in the system logs and it says permission denied error. I guess its because the application is not signed (?) and the apple Gatekeeper system prevent it from open.

How can I sign my exported application? Any help would be very much appreciated!

thanks

I am having problems running exported applications on Macs running El Capitan (and possible other versions on OS X, I had it running on a machine running Yosemite but another user reported that it did not run on his Mac with Yosemite).

If I export the application and then run that application on my machine it works fine (I am running El Capitan) but if I zip it then upload it to dropbox when it is downloaded again (onto my machine or others) it will not run and gives the following error:

“PROJECTNAME” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

This is really frustrating and upsetting as I am in the final stages of a year long Uni project and I cannot get it out to users to test it (a significant portion of my grade). Does anyone have any idea why this is not working and any work-arounds? I need to get this working in the next few days really.

I am running the latest version of Processing (3.0.2).

Thank you so much for any help,

Charlesworth

EDIT: I think I might have found the problem. Apparently if a sketch attempts to use loadImage(), and there is a "+" anywhere in the filepath of the application, the application will fail to run and instead just display a blank gray screen. Reporting this to the github issues page right now.

Greetings Jenni

I am having a few "last mile problems" getting this project up and running.

This is my first time working with starting up applications and files from boot on a Mac OSX. I found this program to be very helpful - Power Manager - which is a lightweight GUI over the top of what the OS can do already.

I have a simple application that sends video out via Syphon; essentially an invisible video cable between programs. Really really handy. When a movie clip ends the next one plays. It just keeps looping the contents of a folder. It works great when I hit "Run" in the Processing IDE. Butter smooth. And it even routes right into MadMapper and over multiple screens with ease.

I essentially want to schedule this program and the associated mapping to file to launch everyday.

I exported the sketch. I had a warning saying it would not export a 32-bit version because that was not supported. But when I launched the exported app it still ran fine standing alone. Most excellent I thought!

I then took some time to route the exported app into MadMapper; a great projection mapping tool. This is where the trouble started. It would now run very slow. Choppy, really slow. Missing frames. Sluggish GUI on both programs. Fans engaging. The exported app was running waaay slower than the exact same code in the IDE. I am not sure why this is? Why would it run any different after being exported?

This led me to a possible alternative. I could launch the actual sketch on boot... But how to hit "Run" in the IDE without being there? I think this would be very useful as well, even if the exported could be fixed. For instance, I have sketches which will not export (openCV, etc) yet I would still like to use wither the command line, or thus a scheduling app, to launch.

Any tips, ideas, or suggestions would be much appreciated,

Does anyone know the possible solution?

I have no idea that it could be happening, please help.
