NodeCreateVideoFromImages WIP 💪

If this project has been useful to you and you want to help me to keep contributing to the open source with projects, examples, plugins,... collaborate and buy me a coffee.

Sample project that shows how to create a video from images through an API request.

Requirements

Install ffmepg

If you use a MAC

brew install ffmpeg

For other operating systems please consult the official documentation.

Development server

Run npm run start:dev for a dev server. The server will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Testing the creation of a video

To test video generation you can use the following endpoints defined in the API:

GET /api/video/test

This endpoint will use the images stored in the /public/images directory.

POST /api/video/create

This endpoint expects the list of images and the durations of the images. For this, it is necessary that this information is sent as a multipart/form-data.

For example, if we use POSTMAN to test /api/video/create endpoint.

In the Body add a field of type file whose name is images and select the images to send.

Add a second field imagesDuration of type text whose value is a JSON with the duration of the images.

This JSON needs to be stringify to be able to send it in a field of type text.
