I’m having a similar problem with the message posted on 4th January 2007 (question no.2).

When I’m creating a movie, the rendered version is much faster than it normally is, probably because of a frameRate issue. I declare the framerate as 30 in the setup and 30 again when creating the new MovieMaker object, but the resulting animation is almost four times faster than my original intentions.

I’m not very confident with coding so i don’t know if this is because of something that I’m doing wrong, can you help me out please?

Besides this, animations look great!

By the way, I’m using an intel macbook, OSX 10.4.8.

Thank you,

Emre.

I am using a MacBook with tiger 10.4.

When I run the example code in
http://www.processing.org/reference/libraries/video/MovieMaker.html
I get this error:

The specified codec is not supported, please ensure that the parameters are valid, and in the correct order.

I’ve tried different constants: StdQTConstants.kH263CodecType, and all the MovieMaker ones.

I have quicktime 7, updated to the latest version as of today.

I can’t figure out where the codec lives on my computer or how to not get this error…

Thank you for your help,

Have you experimented with generating NTSC or PAL dimension movies and importing them into Final Cut or other video editing software? I’m about to try this…

Of course I can’t find the page anymore, but there’s a little info here that is relevant from Chris Adamson who contributes to O’Reilly: http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-java/2005/Aug/msg00049.html

I receive the following message and am unable to finish off the movie :

quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.6g],-2014=invalidDuration,QT.vers:7168000
at quicktime.std.StdQTException.checkError(StdQTException.java:38)

I’m a new comer and a little lost. That said I have got it to work with your example code above

This is a wonderfully useful tool. I just solved a problem that may be confusing for others should they encounter it. The error message follows:

/tmp/build38572.tmp/Temporary_4127_7447.java:21:1:21:10: Semantic Error: Type “MovieMaker” is imported on demand from package “moviemaker” and package “processing.video”.

When using the video library for live video input, you import something else which is also called MovieMaker. To distinguish between the two, you need to write moviemaker.MovieMaker or video.MovieMaker whenever you are instantiating a MovieMaker or accessing class attributes. Hopefully this will save someone a few minutes of headscratching.

Thanks again for the great library.

I got the same error as Claudio. Although when using MovieMaker without invoking the video library it works fine …
I’m also using 0124.
Any clue? Thanks.
Cheers!
