You can use ffmpeg-android for cutting/cropping videos.
For using it add
compile 'com.github.hiteshsondhi88.libffmpeg:FFmpegAndroid:0.2.5'
to dependencies.
For cutting videos run this command
execFFmpegCommand("-i " + path.getAbsolutePath() + " -ss " + startMs / 1000 + " -to " + endMs / 1000 + " -strict -2 -async 1 " + dest.getAbsolutePath());
where
path
is the path of original video.
startMs
is the initial time of video form where you want to cut(start time of cropped video)
endMs
is the time of video upto which you want to cut(end time of cropped video)
dest
is the path where you want to save the cut/cropped video
If your filename or foldername contain whitespaces,use String formatter to handle spaces.
private void execFFmpegCommand(final String command) {
try {
ffmpeg.execute(command, new ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onFailure(String s) {
Log.e("FFMPEG", "FAILED with output : " + s);
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(String s) {
Log.e("FFMPEG", "SUCCESS with output : " + s);
}
@Override
public void onProgress(String s) {
Log.e("FFMPEG", "Started command : ffmpeg " + command);
Log.e("FFMPEG", "progress : " + s);
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
Log.e("FFMPEG", "Started command : ffmpeg " + command);
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
Log.e("FFMPEG", "Finished command : ffmpeg " + command);
}
});
} catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
// do nothing for now
}
}
Before cutting videos you have to load FFMPEG by calling below method inside onCreate()
or onCreateView(
).Its better to execute this method in AsyncTask.
private void loadFFMpegBinary() {
try {
if (ffmpeg == null) {
ffmpeg = FFmpeg.getInstance(getActivity());
}
ffmpeg.loadBinary(new LoadBinaryResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onFailure() {
}
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
Log.e("FFMPEG", "ffmpeg : correct Loaded");
}
});
} catch (FFmpegNotSupportedException e) {
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
You can also make a RangeSeekbar for allowing user to select the time range of cropped video from original video using anothem/android-range-seek-bar library.
