We use symlinks to avoid having Podfile.lock # referring to absolute paths on developers' machines. symlink_dir = File.expand_path('.symlinks', ios_application_path) system('rm', '-rf', symlink_dir) # Avoid the complication of dependencies like FileUtils. symlink_plugins_dir = File.expand_path('plugins', symlink_dir) system('mkdir', '-p', symlink_plugins_dir) plugins_file = File.join(ios_application_path, '..', '.flutter-plugins-dependencies') plugin_pods = flutter_parse_plugins_file(plugins_file) plugin_pods.each do |plugin_hash| plugin_name = plugin_hash['name'] plugin_path = plugin_hash['path'] if (plugin_name && plugin_path) symlink = File.join(symlink_plugins_dir, plugin_name) File.symlink(plugin_path, symlink) if plugin_name == 'flutter_ffmpeg' pod 'flutter_ffmpeg/<package name>', :path => File.join('.symlinks', 'plugins', plugin_name, 'ios') else pod plugin_name, :path => File.join('.symlinks', 'plugins', plugin_name, 'ios') end end end end Replace the <package name> with a proper package name from the Packages List section.

FFmpeg Release

In reference to the releases specified in the flutter_ffmpeg package.

Packages List

The following FFmpeg Packages List is in reference to the flutter_ffmpeg package.

Functionalities

Loading input video file

final Trimmer _trimmer = Trimmer();
await _trimmer.loadVideo(videoFile: file);

Saving trimmed video

Returns a string to indicate whether the saving operation was successful.

await _trimmer
    .saveTrimmedVideo(startValue: _startValue, endValue: _endValue)
    .then((value) {
  setState(() {
    _value = value;
  });
});

Video playback state

Returns the video playback state. If true then the video is playing, otherwise it is paused.

await _trimmer.videPlaybackControl(
  startValue: _startValue,
  endValue: _endValue,
);

Advanced Command

You can use an advanced FFmpeg command if you require more customization. Just define your FFmpeg command using the ffmpegCommand property and set an output video format using customVideoFormat.

Refer to the Official FFmpeg Documentation for more information.

NOTE: Passing a wrong video format to the customVideoFormat property may result in a crash.

// Example of defining a custom command

// This is already used for creating GIF by
// default, so you do not need to use this.

await _trimmer
    .saveTrimmedVideo(
        startValue: _startValue,
        endValue: _endValue,
        ffmpegCommand:
            '-vf "fps=10,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop 0',
        customVideoFormat: '.gif')
    .then((value) {
  setState(() {
    _value = value;
  });
});
