And now I've run into a whole another issue which is really fucking strange.

Has it ever occured that a Object in java looses all it's values after being put into an array of same type?

My problem:

[code...]

Mat[] matArray = new Mat[totalFramesOfVideo];

videoCapture.open();

Mat currentFrame = new Mat();
int frameCounter = 0;
while(videoCapture.read()) {

currentFrame = (last read frame as a Mat)

matArray[frameCounter] = currentFrame;

frameCounter++;
}

then, after filling the array and accessing elements, they lose all their object values.
Eg. Before currentFrame's dimensions were 1080*1920, but matArray[index] dimensions are suddenly 0*0.

    Probably because you are modifying an external variable and only putting its reference into the array?

    Since it looks like you're using OpenCV I'm guessing the problem is that you're doing

    Mat currentFrame = new Mat();
    while(videoCapture.read()) {
    videoCapture.retrieve(currentFrame);
    matArray[frameCounter] = currentFrame;
    }

    This basically puts each new frame into the same Mat object, and then sets all items in the array to point to that object - try something like

    @highlight
    Mat currentFrame = new Mat();
    int frameCounter = 0;
    while(videoCapture.read(currentFrame))) {
    matArray[frameCounter] = currentFrame;
    currentFrame = new Mat();
    frameCounter++;
    }

    Thanks for all replies, it's a really dumb mistake on my side.
    I'll see if it works tomorrow.
