Is it possible to encode/export video from an AIR application?

[derek1ner]

hi,
trying to develop my first non-tutorial led air app, any help is very appreciated :cool:

one of my ideas for an app involves dragging and dropping 1 image and 1 mp3 file
from the desktop onto the AIR app then clicking a button that triggers it to encode
and export a youtube ready video of just the audio playing with the image showing
for the duration of the vid.

does anyone know if this is possible in AIR?
thanks again

hi - did you ever get this figured out? i'm interested in doing something similar.

since air has a byte array you can of course do this... i wouldnt want to do that though.

what i did was include some compiled python files that convert videos then i can call those files from air. this requires air 2.0+

Hey,

You could use ffmpeg to encode the video by using the nativeProcess api in air 2.0+.
Here is an example of how to get started:

(I'm not allowed to post links yet so this is going to look weird, but you'll get the idea. Just take out all the spaces)
ht tp :// n8o. org /video /play-video-in-air-with-ffmpeg /

You would just set your output as an mp4 for youtube.
