VidEffects

This is an Android library which can be used to apply different Filters/Effects on videos. It uses vertexShaders and fragmentShaders to apply effects on GLSurfaceView. It uses MediaPlayer instance for playing videos on GlSurfaceView. See the sample app in order to see a working demo.

Supported Effects

The following list of effects are currently avaialble and can be applied using VidEffects

• AutoFix Effect
• Black and White Effect
• Brightness Effect
• Contrast Effect
• CrossProcess Effect
• Documentary Effect
• Duotone Effect
• FillLight Effect
• Grain Effect
• Greyscale Effect
• Lamoish Effect
• InvertColors Effect
• Posterize Effect
• Saturation Effect
• Sepia Effect
• Sharpness Effect
• Temperature Effect
• Tint Effect
• Vignette Effect
• Hue Effect
• Gamma Effect

Limitations

The effects applied using this library are temporary. What that means is that the orignal video doesn't change. Effects are only applied during video playback and once the video ends the effects end with it. In the future, i am aiming to apply permanant effect to videos. You guys are welcome to help out using PRs.
For now, if you are really desperate and want to apply effects then you can use FFmpeg to apply effects on videos. Details about how to do that can be seen on this wiki page

How to use it

• Add the following code to your project's build.gradle file

  repositories {

jcenter()
  
}

• Add the following gradle path to your app/build.gradle file

dependencies {
 // Gradle path for VidEffects
  compile 'com.sherazkhilji.videffects:videffects:1.0.2' 
}

• Then you need to add VideoSurfaceView either using java code or as xml in your layout file.

<com.sherazkhilji.videffect.view.VideoSurfaceView

  android:id="@+id/mVideoSurfaceView"

  android:layout_width="match_parent"

  android:layout_height="match_parent" />

• Then you need to reference the VideoSurfaceView and call its init() method in your Activity or Fragment onCreate() supplying it with a MediaPlayer instance and a Video Effect. Also you would need to call VideoSurfaceView onResume() in your Activity or Fragment onResume() so that your video is rendered properly.

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

mResources = getResources();

  mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

try {

// Load video file from SD Card

// File dir = Environment

// .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);

// File file = new File(dir,

// "sample.mp4");

// mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(file.getAbsolutePath());

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------

// Load video file from Assets directory

AssetFileDescriptor afd = getAssets().openFd("sample.mp4");

mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(),

  afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());

  
}
 catch (Exception e) {

Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage(), e);

  
}

  // Initialize VideoSurfaceView using code
  // mVideoView = new VideoSurfaceView(this);
  // setContentView(mVideoView);
  // or

mVideoView = (VideoSurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.mVideoSurfaceView);
  mVideoView.init(mMediaPlayer,

 new DuotoneEffect(Color.YELLOW, Color.RED));

setContentView(R.layout.activity_sampleplayer);
 
}

  @Override
 protected void onResume() {

  super.onResume();

  mVideoView.onResume();

 
}

• Incase of any confusion, checkout the SamplePlayerActivity for a complete example on how to apply different Effects on your videos.
