video_manipulation 0.1.7

Flutter plugin for basic video manipulation.

video_manipulation

A library for manipulating videos. This library has the following features

• Changing a videos framerate
• Changing a videos speed/duration
• Adding still frames to an existing video, e.g. watermarks
• Generate videos from images

NOTE: Currently supports iOS only

Install

Simply add the following line to your pubspec.yaml file:

video_manipulation: ^0.1.7

Usage

The plugin currently has one static method for all video manipulation: .generateVideo(List<String> paths, String filename, int fps, double speed).

Parameters paths list of input file paths. Can be images (.jpg or .png) or video files (.mp4) that are used to generate the new video. E.g.: ["documents/input.mp4", "documents/watermark.jpg] - in this case the plugin would add the "watermark.jpg" image to every frame of the "input.mp4" video. The image would be scaled to have the same size as the "input.mp4" video.

filename the filename of the generated video. The directory of the first input file is used as output directory.

fps frames per second of the output file.

speed a value between 0.1 (slowmotion) and 1xxx.0 (timelapse). 1.0 to keep the same speed.

The method returns the full path of the generated video when successful.

How it works

This plugin is using AVFoundation on the iOS part to extract frames from a video and also encoding them back to an mp4 file. Android has currently no implementation. FFmpeg won`t be implemented due to licensing, extra overhead from the ffmpeg binaries and overall slow performance. A possible solution could be http://jcodec.org/
