How to work with video and sound files

Because Umfeld sits on top of native libraries (FFmpeg for video, PortAudio for sound), it plays media without third-party bindings.

Play a sound

#include "Umfeld.h"
using namespace umfeld;

PAudio* audio;

void setup() {
    audio = loadAudio("data/loop.wav");
    audio->play();
}

Play a video

PVideo* clip;

void setup() {
    clip = loadVideo("data/clip.mp4");
    clip->loop();
}

void draw() {
    image(clip, 0, 0, width, height);
}

Keep media files in a data/ folder next to your sketch, exactly like Processing.
