FFMpegLaravel
=============

[](#ffmpeglaravel)

A simplified Laravel wrapper of PHP-FFMpeg: for simple video conversion, thumbnail generation, resizing etc., utilizing FFMpeg's powerful open source library/tool that can decode and encode any video format to one another.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.2
- Apache 2.2+

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

A working installation of FFMpeg is needed

Install the ffmpeg

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg
(mac) brew install ffmpeg

```

Run: `composer require mikeambait/ffmpeglaravel `

Or you can add a particular version (See tags)

Publish vendor

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add this to your config/app.php, to use it globally

```
'FFMpegLaravel' => FFMpegLaravel\FFMpegLaravel\FFmpegLaravel::class
```

Convert video (change) quality, pass an optional parameter: 'channel', 'bitrate' (video quality) and 'audio'.

```
use FFMpegLaravel;

$FFMpegLaravelInstance = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4');

$FFMpegLaravelInstance->save(public_path() . '/NewEgg.mp4', [
    'bitrate' => 500,
    'audio' => 256
]);
```

Convert video to audio

```
$mp3 = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4');

$mp3->save(public_path() . '/egg.mp3');
```

Resize video

```
// params> width: integer(required) | height : integer(required) | $forceStandards : boolean(nullable)
// you can pass a boolean value in resize() to force the use of the nearest aspect ratio standard.
$resizedVideo = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4')
            ->resize(640, 480)
            ->save(public_path() . '/resized_egg.mp4', [
                        'bitrate' => 500,
                        'audio' => 256
                    ]);
```

Removes audio from video

```
$mutedVideo = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4')
            ->mute()
            ->save(__DIR__ . '/output/muted_egg.mp4');
```

Generate thumbnail:

```
// getThumbnail() , generates thumbnail at 10 secs mark, when no params passed
FFMpegLaravel::open('videos.mp4')
      ->getThumbnail(public_path() . '/filename.jpg');
```

Get duration of video in seconds:

```
// returns a integer of duration in seconds
$duration = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4')
      ->getDuration();

echo $duration;
```

Generate GIF from a video:

```
// parameters: new filepath.gif | duration of GIF file : int(nullable) | from seconds: int(nullable)
$gif = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4')
            ->generateGif(public_path() . '/sample.gif', 2 );

return $gif;
```

Get the resolution of video:

```
// returns an array of resolution of the video: 'width' & 'height'
$resolution = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4')
      ->getResolution();

echo $resolution['width'] .' x '.$resolution['height'];
```

You might want to check the codec used by the video:

```
// returns a string of codec used by the video
$codec = FFMpegLaravel::open(public_path() . '/egg.mp4')
      ->getCodec();

echo $codec;
```
