Deno FFMPEG

FFmpeg is really nice to use and quite handy for alot of applications.

But we didn't have any easy wrapper for it in Deno!
So now we do :D

List of features

  • Video bitrate(VBR and CBR)
  • FFMPEG Filters
  • Easy to use
  • All methods are chainable
  • Frequently updated and maintained by me

V2 information

denoFFMPEG v2 is alot different from v1
it breaks alot of stuff that used to work, please read the doc's below to see what changed ## Basic example save() is used to start the render process. you should always use save() or saveWithProgress() as last option js import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts"; let videoRender = ffmpeg({ input: './dev/video0', ffmpegDir: './dev/ffmpeg' }) await videoRender.videoBitrate(1000).save('./output.mp4');

Documentation

Creating a new instance of ffmpeg

The denoFFMPEG module returns a constructor that you can use to instanciate FFmpeg commands.

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg();

//or use ffmpeg class
import { FfmpegClass } from "./mod.ts";
let render = new FfmpegClass();

save(outputPath: string)

save() returns a Promise that get's voided once ffmpeg is done rendering

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";

await ffmpeg().save('video.mp4');

//or like this
let render = ffmpeg().save('video.mp4');
await render;

saveWithProgress(outputPath: String)

saveWithProgress() returns an asyncGenerator with an object with 2 keys in it.
ETA: which is the estimated time the render is done
percentage: The percentage of how far the render is 

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";

let render = ffmpeg().saveWithProgress("video.mp4");

//this will await the yield to be finished
for await (const obj of render) {
    console.log(obj);
}

setFfmpegPath(path: string)

setFfmpegPath() will set the ffmpeg path if this is not set in the constructor

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().setFfmpegPath("./path/to/binary");
await render.save("video.mp4");

addInput(path: string)

addInput() will add an input to the list of input's (you need to map them yourself)
this means that the first input is input 0 so on and so on
path can be a url aswell

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().addInput("./path/to/file");
await render.save("video.mp4");
import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().addInput("./path/to/file"); // this is input 0
render.addInput("./path/to/file"); // this is input 1
await render.save("video.mp4");

noVideo()

noVideo() will just disable video and remove all video settings

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().noVideo();
await render.save("video.mp4");

noAudio()

noAudio() will just disable audio and remove all audio settings

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().noAudio();
await render.save("video.mp4");

audioCodec(codec: string, options?: Object)

audioCodec() let's you specify which audio codec & options to use
options should only be used if you know what you are doing

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().audioCodec("lib3lame");
await render.save("video.mp4");

videoCodec(codec: string, options?: Object)

videoCodec() let's you specify which video codec & options to use
options should only be used if you know what you are doing

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().videoCodec("libx264");
await render.save("video.mp4");

audioBitrate(bitrate: number)

audioBitrate() let's you specify the audio bitrate in kbps

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().audioBitrate(128);
await render.save("video.mp4");

videoBitrate(bitrate: string|number, constantBitrate: boolean)

videoBitrate() let's you specify the video bitrate(default is kbps) and if this should be cbr(default) or vbr

import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";
let render = ffmpeg().videoBitrate(1050);
await render.save("video.mp4");
import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";

// set the second parameter to false if you want to use VBR
let render = ffmpeg().videoBitrate("1050k", false);
await render.save("video.mp4");

videoFilters(...Filters: Filters[])

videoFilters() let's you use the -vf video filters.

const filters = {
    filterName: "drawtext", //the filtername you want to use
    options: {
        //here you should have all options
    }
}

drawtext="text=cool guy: fontsize: 60" will be like this

{
    filterName: "drawtext",
    options: {
        text: "cool guy",
        fontsize: 60
    }
}
import { ffmpeg } from "./mod.ts";

let render = ffmpeg().videoFilters(
    {
    filterName: "drawtext",
    options: {
        text: "cool thing",
        fontsize: "60",
        x: (856 / 2 - 30 * "cool thing".length / 2),
        y: "H-240",
        fontcolor: "white",
        shadowcolor: "black",
        shadowx: "2",
        shadowy: "2",
    }
})
await render.save("video.mp4");
