:getHeight()

Returns height of the named loaded video file.

Note: Currently L5 can only work with ogv (Ogg Theora) video files. Use an external program such as Handbrake or ffmpeg (command line) to convert mp4, avi, mkv, and mov codecs first.

Examples

function setup()
  windowTitle("loadVideo example")

  video = loadVideo("assets/heads.ogv")

  -- get the video file's pixel height
  print(video:getHeight())

  video:play()

  describe("A basic example of loading a video, then playing it by drawing frames in the draw loop. Prints video height.")
end

function draw()
  background(51) 

  image(video, 0, 0, width, height)
end

Syntax

videofile:getHeight()

Returns

Number: height of video file
