Using FFmpeg Pipes for Real-Time Video Editing in Flutter: Need Guidance on Displaying Output

[mohammadwadhodev]

Hey, I am working with the ffmpeg_kit_flutter_full package in Flutter, using the FFmpegKitConfig.registerNewFFmpegPipe() function for pipes. My issue is that I am building an editor, and I want to display the result of any small changes in the video without saving it, just like in any standard video editors. I read somewhere that I can achieve this using registerNewFFmpegPipe, but now I’m stuck on how to show these pipes.

I tried using the video_player package and fijkplayer: ^0.11.0, but it didn’t work. Does anyone have any idea or guidance on how I can achieve this?

@mohammadwadhodev did you find a solutin?

[mohammadwadhodev]

Yes, I have found a solution. You need to work on non-destructive UI. For example, if you want to add text to a video, you can do it with Flutter. You can add the text to the video in the UI and then use ffmpeg commands to save the video with the text in the correct position and size.

Ah yea i did that, but for trimming, merging couple of videos it gets complicated with the workaround

Yeah it is complicated but you have to work on both operations UI side and FFMPEG side.
