video_compress_next example

The app in lib/main.dart opens a bundled sample (1080p at 60 fps, or a rotated portrait video) or a video from the gallery, shows its info and a thumbnail, and compresses it at the chosen size, with or without sound, in H.264 or HEVC. It shows the progress, can cancel, and compares the result with the source.

flutter run

Compress a video

import 'package:video_compress_next/video_compress_next.dart';

Future<void> compress(String path) async {
  final task = VideoCompressor.compress(
    path,
    options: const CompressOptions(maxShortSide: 720, codec: VideoCodec.h264),
  );
  task.progress.listen((p) => print('${(p * 100).round()} %'));
  // task.cancel() stops it; task.result then fails with
  // VideoCompressError.cancelled.

  try {
    final result = await task.result;
    print('${result.path}: ${result.width}x${result.height}, '
        '${result.fileSize} bytes');
  } on VideoCompressException catch (e) {
    print('Failed: ${e.error}, ${e.message}');
  }
}

Info and thumbnails

final info = await VideoCompressor.getMediaInfo(path);
print('${info.width}x${info.height}, ${info.duration}, ${info.frameRate} fps');

final jpeg = await VideoCompressor.getThumbnail(
  path,
  position: const Duration(seconds: 1),
  maxSide: 512,
);

Code written for video_compress

The same calls work after changing the import:

import 'package:video_compress_next/video_compress.dart';

final subscription = VideoCompress.compressProgress$.subscribe((percent) {
  print('$percent %');
});
final MediaInfo? info = await VideoCompress.compressVideo(
  path,
  quality: VideoQuality.DefaultQuality,
  includeAudio: true,
);
subscription.unsubscribe();

Tests

integration_test/plugin_integration_test.dart compresses the bundled samples on a device, emulator or simulator:

flutter test integration_test -d <device>
