JMF - How to get a FrameGrabbingControl with a Processor

Question

I try to get a FrameGrapbbingControll with a Processor because when I get it with a Player the time to access to the different frames with a FramePositionningControll is very very very long. The problem is that this code return null :
Processor p = Manager.createProcessor(datasource);
FrameGrabbingControl fgc = (FrameGrabbingControl)p.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");How can I get a FrameGrabbingControl with a Processor ???

Answer 1

2 ways (if you have Livetype)
i) In FCP - in the effects tab in the browser choose 'Matte'
drag onto v1, double click the clip, in the viewer window, change the colour to white.
Then, again in the browser, go to 'text', choose the text you want to use (e.g 'text'), drag this clip above the 'matte' clip (i.e. onto v2). Double click the 'text' clip and in the viewer choose the 'controls' tab. Change the text colour to black.
After writing your text, resize the clip as required, add a cross dissolve to the text clip at the start and end to fade in/out the text (if required), render (if needed) and hey presto!
ii) Use Livetype: (requires a bit of Livetype knowledge to match sequence settings first)
To change the background colour in LT, go to 'edit' - 'project properties' - and then change the background colour.
In the 'Media Browser' window, choose your font - hit 'apply', go to the 'inspector' window, type your text, change the text colour in the 'attributes' tab.
