Special thanks to:
Warning Please note that I should change some file names, variables in strings.xml etc. Otherwise they may conflict with user's app resulting unprecedented problems. Sorry for inconvenience.
To import the library: Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.72" // <-- ADD THIS LINE
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
// ...
maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' } // <-- ADD THIS LINE
}
}Next, open your app's build.gradle file, and add this at the top:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'And in the android block, add this:
android{
// other configs
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
// other configs
}Finally, add the dependency
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.fahimfarhan:SimpleVideoEditor:v1.0'
}That's it!
- study some photo editors like burhanrashid52/PhotoEditor, and implement text, stickers etc support
The crop mechanism was not well documented in the Mp4Composer-android library, so I had to go through a lot of trials and errors to understand what the library was actually doing. I am quite sure this is what the library input means. For simplicity, assume that our video frame does not change its shape, but our crop area changes shape / moves when the user drags / moves / does something.
Here as you can see, the video frame has height H pixel, width W pixel and so its center is (W/2, H/2).
So, AspectRatio, r = cropQuadWidth : cropQuadHeight = W:H
Suppose initially the crop quad has exactly the same dimensions as the video frame, that is, it has same
height, width and center (W/2, H/2). Now the user uses pinch gesture to resize the crop quad by saving the aspect ratio r and keeping the center where it is.
Now suppose the user uses a drag gesture to move the crop quad so that its new center is (x0,y0).
Therefore, the translation is
dx = (x0 - W/2) pixel,
dy = (y0 - H/2) pixel
We can represent the crop quad with its 4 corner points: p0, p1, p2, p3 as shown in the picture.
Since our aspect ratio is fixed, our crop quad also has aspect ratio r.
Our crop quads
newWidth = (p3.x - p0.x) pixel newHeight = newWidth/r = (p3.y - p0.y) pixel
Now for some reason you need to divide dx with newWidth, dy with newHeight and multiply them with 2.
Don't ask me why. The library input wants this :/
So
translationX = dx * 2 / newWidth;
translationY = dy * 2 / newHeight;
Therefore, on pinch gesture, the crop quad has a scaling factor,
scalingFactor = initialWidthOfCropQuad / finalWidthOfCropQuad => scalingFactor = W / newWidth = W / (p3.x - p0.x) = H / newHeight = H / (p3.y - p0.y)
Just use a formula that you like.
If you implement a rotation in your video editor, make sure to save it in a variable rotation = theta.
I didnot use this feature, so I don't remember details (degree or radian, clockwise, anticlockwise etc)
at the time of writing.
Since I am not rotating, my rotation is zero. So rotation = 0
Now that we have all the input parameters ready, we can create a FillModeCustomItem object like this:
FillModeCustomItem fillModeCustomItem = new FillModeCustomItem(
scalingFactor,
rotation,
translateX,
translateY,
W , // the video Width = W pixel
H // the video Height = H pixel
);And finally pass this fillModeCustomItem into mp4composer to get the desired crop area. You need to specify
the output videos height and width.
Let outputVideoWidthPx = 720 pixel and outputVideoHeightPx = outputWidth/r which is the crop quad's
width and height. It's not entirely clear to my how / why this works. The original developers gave a sample
where the crop area was fixed and the video frame resized itself. So perhaps internally, the library takes a quad
of outputVideoWidthPx, outputVideoHeightPx centered at (x0, y0), then zooms the video
frame (using that scalingFactor) and translates translationX, translationY amount to track the actual crop area.
Finally, you do this in java:
mp4Composer = new Mp4Composer(selectedVideoUri, destPath, activity, mylogger);
mp4Composer
.size(outputVideoWidthPx, outputVideoHeightPx) // fake it till you make it
.fillMode(FillMode.CUSTOM)
.customFillMode(fillModeCustomItem);
// todo: other inputs according to your requirements
mp4Composer.start(); Please check out VideoEditorPresenter.java#L83, it shows my implementation.
You can also download my project, run it and try to have a better understanding. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll try my utmost to answer them. Thank you.
