Create a video reader object and read video frames starting at a specific time.

Create an object to read the example movie file xylophone.mp4.

v = VideoReader('xylophone.mp4');

Specify the reading to begin 2.5 seconds from the beginning of the video.

v.CurrentTime = 2.5;

Create an axes object to display the frame. Then, continue to read and display video frames until no more frames are available to read.

currAxes = axes;
while hasFrame(v)
    vidFrame = readFrame(v);
    image(vidFrame, 'Parent', currAxes);
    currAxes.Visible = 'off';
    pause(1/v.FrameRate);
end

Create a VideoReader object to read data from the sample file. Then, determine the width and height of the video.

xyloObj = VideoReader('xylophone.mp4');

vidWidth = xyloObj.Width;
vidHeight = xyloObj.Height;

Create a movie structure array, mov.

mov = struct('cdata',zeros(vidHeight,vidWidth,3,'uint8'),...
    'colormap',[]);

Read one frame at a time until the end of the video is reached.

k = 1;
while hasFrame(xyloObj)
    mov(k).cdata = readFrame(xyloObj);
    k = k+1;
end

Size a figure based on the width and height of the video. Then, play back the movie once at the video frame rate.

hf = figure;
set(hf,'position',[150 150 vidWidth vidHeight]);

movie(hf,mov,1,xyloObj.FrameRate);
