:pause()

Pauses playing video file.

Note: Currently L5 can only play 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")
  video:loop()

  describe("A basic example of loading a video, then looping it playing by drawing frames in the draw loop until the user clicks to pause.")
end

function draw()
  background(51) 

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

function draw()
  video:pause()
end

Syntax

videofile:pause()
