Video Trimming - Android

license : MIT license : MIT

Core Features

  • Video can be trimmed/shortened and played on the same screen
  • Video can be trimmed by selecting the starting point and ending point, and it will display the video size and video duration based on the selected position
  • Seekbar moves as per selected video for trimming
  • After trimming, trimmed video can be played automatically and can be shared on social media

How it works

  • User can record video from camera or select video from gallery
  • Set the selected video in the trimming screen
  • Trim the video by dragging starting point and end point
  • View trimmed video on the trimming screen
  • Save video, it will automatically play in next screen
  • Share the video

Purpose of this code

  • Whenever it is required to crop thr video, this code can help you
  • Whenever you are having a limiation of video recording such as allow users to record video for 1 min, this code can help you

Requirements

  • Android 4.1+

When you can use this code

  • When you are developing a Social or standalone video sharing app, this code will help you to provide functinality of trimming video and sharing video with user friendly operations.

Code Snippet

Step 1: Send Video URL To Video Trimming class

if (mVideoTrimmer != null) {
        mVideoTrimmer.setMaxDuration(60);
        mVideoTrimmer.setOnTrimVideoListener(this);
        mVideoTrimmer.setOnK4LVideoListener(this);
        //mVideoTrimmer.setDestinationPath("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/CameraCustom/");
        mVideoTrimmer.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
        mVideoTrimmer.setVideoInformationVisibility(true);
    }

Step 2: Initializtion of trimming views as we have declared in xml files

LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.view_time_line, this, true);

mHolderTopView = ((SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.handlerTop));
mVideoProgressIndicator = ((ProgressBarView) findViewById(R.id.timeVideoView));
mRangeSeekBarView = ((RangeSeekBarView) findViewById(R.id.timeLineBar));
mLinearVideo = ((RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout_surface_view));
mVideoView = ((VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_loader));
mPlayView = ((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.icon_video_play));
mTimeInfoContainer = findViewById(R.id.timeText);
mTextSize = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.textSize));
mTextTimeFrame = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.textTimeSelection));
mTextTime = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.textTime));
mTimeLineView = ((TimeLineView) findViewById(R.id.timeLineView));

setUpListeners();
setUpMargins();

Step 3: To prepare video as it is trimmed by user onVideoPrepared() method is used

private void onVideoPrepared(@NonNull MediaPlayer mp) {
    // Adjust the size of the video
    // so it fits on the screen
    int videoWidth = mp.getVideoWidth();
    int videoHeight = mp.getVideoHeight();
    float videoProportion = (float) videoWidth / (float) videoHeight;
    int screenWidth = mLinearVideo.getWidth();
    int screenHeight = mLinearVideo.getHeight();
    float screenProportion = (float) screenWidth / (float) screenHeight;
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = mVideoView.getLayoutParams();

    if (videoProportion > screenProportion) {
        lp.width = screenWidth;
        lp.height = (int) ((float) screenWidth / videoProportion);
    } else {
        lp.width = (int) (videoProportion * (float) screenHeight);
        lp.height = screenHeight;
    }
    mVideoView.setLayoutParams(lp);

    mPlayView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    mDuration = mVideoView.getDuration();
    setSeekBarPosition();

    setTimeFrames();
    setTimeVideo(0);

    if (mOnK4LVideoListener != null) {
        mOnK4LVideoListener.onVideoPrepared();
    }
}

Step 4: Give position for seekbar fom start to end

private void setSeekBarPosition() {

    if (mDuration >= mMaxDuration) {
        mStartPosition = mDuration / 2 - mMaxDuration / 2;
        mEndPosition = mDuration / 2 + mMaxDuration / 2;

        mRangeSeekBarView.setThumbValue(0, (mStartPosition * 100) / mDuration);
        mRangeSeekBarView.setThumbValue(1, (mEndPosition * 100) / mDuration);

    } else {
        mStartPosition = 0;
        mEndPosition = mDuration;
    }

    setProgressBarPosition(mStartPosition);
    mVideoView.seekTo(mStartPosition);

    mTimeVideo = mDuration;
    mRangeSeekBarView.initMaxWidth();
}

Step 5: To give permission for seekbar to start moving from start to end, setSeekBarPosition() is used

private void setSeekBarPosition() {

    if (mDuration >= mMaxDuration) {
        mStartPosition = mDuration / 2 - mMaxDuration / 2;
        mEndPosition = mDuration / 2 + mMaxDuration / 2;

        mRangeSeekBarView.setThumbValue(0, (mStartPosition * 100) / mDuration);
        mRangeSeekBarView.setThumbValue(1, (mEndPosition * 100) / mDuration);

    } else {
        mStartPosition = 0;
        mEndPosition = mDuration;
    }
    setProgressBarPosition(mStartPosition);
    mVideoView.seekTo(mStartPosition);
    mTimeVideo = mDuration;
    mRangeSeekBarView.initMaxWidth();
}

Step 6: To synchronize video frames with time setTimeFrames() is used

private void setTimeFrames() {
    String seconds = getContext().getString(R.string.short_seconds);
    mTextTimeFrame.setText(String.format("%s %s - %s %s", stringForTime(mStartPosition), seconds, stringForTime(mEndPosition), seconds));
}

Step 7: Set Start and end point of that video using onSeekThumbs() method

private void onSeekThumbs(int index, float value) {
    switch (index) {
        case Thumb.LEFT: {
            mStartPosition = (int) ((mDuration * value) / 100L);
            mVideoView.seekTo(mStartPosition);
            break;
        }
        case Thumb.RIGHT: {
            mEndPosition = (int) ((mDuration * value) / 100L);
            break;
        }
    }
    setProgressBarPosition(mStartPosition);

    setTimeFrames();
    mTimeVideo = mEndPosition - mStartPosition;
}
