LiveCode video editor?

[adventuresofgreg]

Is it possible to create and export a new video by clipping and reassembling sections of other videos in LiveCode? I've searched, and can't find any info on creating a new file. Same with an animated GIF.

Hi Greg,

I'm afraid this is not possible with the build-in means of Livecode, neither the video nor the animated GIF stuff.

If I remember correctly the Enhanced QuickTime External provided such a functionality,
but since QuickTime is almost dead, this won't help you much.


Best

Thanks Klaus. Do you think it's possible by creating and editing bin file?

[Klaus]

Maybe, but I don't have the slightest idea about binary stuff!

Animated GIF can be produced in LC using binary data - this nice app from Ken Ray does that:

Video files are a different matter, as they're dependent on complex codecs and the most popular ones are encumbered with deep patents, some of which (like h.264) quite expensive to license for commercial use. If you have enough money to work out the patents, you'll have more than enough money to hire Monte Goulding or someone else to write externals using the appropriate codec APIs so you won't need to reverse-engineer them.

Look at Monte's mergAV at the composition features. This can do what you want using the composition features.
