Video Compositing

Last updated: 2022-12-30 16:30:24

Video compositing is an offline task that performs a series of complicated operations on a video in VOD such as clipping, splicing, overlaying, and flipping. It can achieve the following effects:
Rotation: rotates videos or images by certain degrees or in a certain direction.
Audio control: turns up/down sound volume in videos/audios or mutes videos.
Overlaying: overlays videos/images in sequence to achieve effects such as picture-in-picture.
Audio mixing: mixes the sound in videos/audios.
Audio extraction: extracts sound from videos (without retaining the image).
Clipping: clips segments within the specified period of time out of videos/audios.
Splicing: splices videos/audios/images in chronological order.
Transition: adds transition effects between segments during video or image splicing.
Speed adjustment: Adjusts the playback speed of the video or audio material.
The container format of the media file after compositing is MP4 (video) or MP3 (audio).
Initiating a Task
You can initiate a video compositing task by calling a server API. The return result of the API contains the task ID, which is used to associate with the corresponding task result when getting result.
Getting the Result
After initiating a compositing task, you can wait for result notification asynchronously or perform task query synchronously to get the task execution result. Below is an example of getting the result notification in normal callback mode after the video compositing task is initiated (the fields with null value are omitted):
{
    "EventType": "ComposeMediaComplete",
    "ComposeMediaCompleteEvent": {
        "TaskId": "ComposeMedia-f5ac8127b3b6b85cdc13f237c6005d8",
        "Status": "FINISH",
        "ErrCode": 0,
        "Message": "SUCCESS",
        "Input":{
            "Tracks": [{
                    "Type": "Video",
                    "TrackItems": [{
                        "Type": "Video",
                        "SourceMedia": "5285485487985271487",
                        "AudioOperations": [{

                            "VolumeParam": {
                                "Mute": 1
                            }
                        }]
                    }]
                },
                {
                    "Type": "Audio",
                    "TrackItems": [{
                            "Type": "Empty",
                            "EmptyItem": {
                                "Duration": 5
                            }
                        },
                        {
                            "Type": "Audio",
                            "AudioItem": {
                                "SourceMedia": "5285485487985271488",
                                "Duration": 15
                            }
                        },
                        {
                            "Type": "Audio",
                            "AudioItem": {
                                "SourceMedia": "5285485487985271489",
                                "SourceMediaStartTime": 2,
                                "Duration": 14
                            }
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "Output": {
                "FileName": "Video compositing effect test",
                "Container": "mp4"
            }
        },
        "Output": {
            "FileType": "mp4",
            "FileId": 5285485487985271490,
            "FileUrl": "http://125676836723.vod2.myqcloud.com/xxx/xxx/xxx.mp4"
        }
    }
}
In the callback result, Input.Tracks contains two elements in Type of Video and Audio, indicating the composited video contains a video track and an audio track.
Video track: the ID of the source video is 5285485487985271487, and the video is muted.
Audio track: it includes 5 seconds of silence and two voiceover bits lasting 15s and 14s, respectively.
Output.FileId is the FileId of the new video generated after video compositing, and the playback URL is the value in FileUrl.
