cordova-plugin-video-editor-fork

This is a cordova plugin to assist in several video editing tasks such as:

Transcoding
Trimming
Taking still images from time moments (currently the start of a video)

After looking at an article on How Vine Satisfied Its Need for Speed, it was clear Cordova/Phonegap needed a way to modify videos to be faster for app's that need that speed.

This plugin will address those concerns, hopefully.

Installation

cordova plugin add https://github.com/jbavari/cordova-plugin-video-editor.git

VideoEditor and VideoEditorOptions will be available in the window after deviceready.

Usage

Transcode###

// parameters passed to transcodeVideo
VideoEditor.transcodeVideo(
    success, // success cb
    error, // error cb
    {
        fileUri: 'file-uri-here', // the path to the video on the device
        outputFileName: 'output-name', // the file name for the transcoded video
        quality: VideoEditorOptions.Quality.MEDIUM_QUALITY,
        outputFileType: VideoEditorOptions.OutputFileType.MPEG4,
        optimizeForNetworkUse: VideoEditorOptions.OptimizeForNetworkUse.YES,
        duration: 20, // optional, specify duration in seconds from start of video
        saveToLibrary: true // optional, defaults to true
    }
)

// options used with transcodeVideo function
var VideoEditorOptions = {
    Quality: {
        HIGH_QUALITY: 0,
        MEDIUM_QUALITY: 1,
        LOW_QUALITY: 2
    },
    OptimizeForNetworkUse: {
        NO: 0,
        YES: 1
    },
    OutputFileType: {
        M4V: 0,
        MPEG4: 1,
        M4A: 2,
        QUICK_TIME: 3
    }
};

// this example uses the cordova media capture plugin
navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(
    videoCaptureSuccess, 
    videoCaptureError, 
    { 
        limit: 1, 
        duration: 20 
    }
);
 
function videoCaptureSuccess(mediaFiles) {
    var file = mediaFiles[0];
    var videoFileName = 'video-name-here'; // I suggest a uuid
 
    // Wrap this call in a ~100 ms timeout on Android if
    // you just recorded the video using the capture plugin.
    // For some reason it is not available immediately in the file system.
    VideoEditor.transcodeVideo(
        videoTranscodeSuccess,
        videoTranscodeError,
        {
            fileUri: file.fullPath, 
            outputFileName: videoFileName, 
            quality: VideoEditorOptions.Quality.MEDIUM_QUALITY,
            outputFileType: VideoEditorOptions.OutputFileType.MPEG4,
            optimizeForNetworkUse: VideoEditorOptions.OptimizeForNetworkUse.YES,
            duration: 20
        }
    );
}
 
function videoTranscodeSuccess(result) {
    // result is the path to the transcoded video on the device
    console.log('videoTranscodeSuccess, result: ' + result);
}
 
function videoTranscodeError(err) {
    console.log('videoTranscodeError, err: ' + err);
}

Create JPEG Image From Video###

VideoEditor.createThumbnail(
    success, // success cb
    error, // error cb
    {
        fileUri: 'file-uri-here', // the path to the video on the device
        outputFileName: 'output-name' // the file name for the JPEG image
    }
)

// this example uses the cordova media capture plugin
navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(
    videoCaptureSuccess, 
    videoCaptureError, 
    { 
        limit: 1, 
        duration: 20 
    }
);
 
function videoCaptureSuccess(mediaFiles) {
    var file = mediaFiles[0];
    var videoFileName = 'video-name-here'; // I suggest a uuid
 
    // Wrap this call in a ~100 ms timeout on Android if
    // you just recorded the video using the capture plugin.
    // For some reason it is not available immediately in the file system.
    VideoEditor.createThumbnail(
        createThumbnailSuccess,
        createThumbnailError,
        {
            fileUri: mediaFile.fullPath,
            outputFileName: videoFileName
        }
    )
}
 
function createThumbnailSuccess(result) {
    // result is the path to the jpeg image on the device
    console.log('createThumbnailSuccess, result: ' + result);
