Trying to capture a frame via webcam and then set a PImage equal to that frame. Not working!
video is my Capture
backgroundImg is a PImage
I've tried several things
backgroundImg = video;
This gives me a black screen and an error that says "waited 5000ms...."
backgroundImg = video.image();
etc.. all give me errors on run.
Any ideas?

Entire code:
- import processing.video.*;
// Variables for capture device
Capture video; // for first frame still
// to store images
PImage backgroundImg;
PImage movementImg; // Creates a new PImage to hold the movement image
boolean first_frame = true;
void setup() {
size(640, 480, P2D);
frameRate(30);
colorMode(RGB, 255, 255, 255, 100);
video = new Capture(this, width, height);
video.start();
backgroundImg = new PImage(width, height);
movementImg = new PImage(width, height); // Initialises the PImage that holds the movement image
background(0);
}
void draw() {
// get dat first frame if ya need it
if (video.available() && first_frame == true) {
video.read();
backgroundImg = video;
first_frame = false;
}
image(backgroundImg, 0, 0 ); // Draws the camera image to the screen
}
