Trim/cut video file in android

Question

I want to extract some portion of video when user is playing that video via my application. While playing a video user can give start and end duration to cut the video. so are there any way to cut the video based on duration and save to sd card ?

Do you want to cut a prerecorded video? I really don't understand what are trying to achieve. — Sebastian Annies, Jul 20 '12 at 23:21
@SebastianAnnies I am using your MP4 library and using ShortenExample . But it's giving me outofmemory error :( — Ravi Bhojani, Jul 21 '12 at 13:44
This is not the correct place to discuss that. Please write to the mp4parser discussion [mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/mp4parser-discussion). (Hint try to open the IsoFile with a FileChannel object since with them I can do memorymapping tricks) — Sebastian Annies, Jul 21 '12 at 23:18
This lib is perfect to cut videos http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11205299/android-sdk-cut-trim-video-file/11551682#11551682 — Ravi Bhojani, Jun 27 '13 at 12:37

You may try to compile and integrate ffmpeg into your project. I used ffmpeg to cut video and audio, is very fast, no recording needed. I've NO experience on doing it on android, but It should work. Here you have the official wiki page about ffmpeg on android:

Heyy Vivek can you please change the second [link](https://mp4parser.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/src/main/java/com/googlecode/mp4parser/ShortenExample.java) to [this](https://github.com/sannies/mp4parser/blob/master/examples/src/main/java/com/googlecode/mp4parser/ShortenExample.java) because it has been chaged – MashukKhan Oct 10 '17 at 06:53

Android uses Mp4Parser/isoParser for Trimming Videos here is the example to trim the video https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Gallery2/+/android-4.4.2_r2/src/com/android/gallery3d/app/TrimVideo.java and as mentioned he usees isoParser which u can get it from "git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/mp4parser"

@Ravi --- video can be played in videoview or surfaceview android inbuilt class. In surfaceview you can start a thread to record you video from the position you select to position you want using MediaRecorder

    MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();
    recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT);
    recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
    recorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);
        recorder.setOutputFile("/sdcard/recordvideooutput.3gpp");
        recorder.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder.getSurface());
    recorder.prepare();

YOUR mholder is the SurfaceHolder holder for attaching surface view

calling these two method will start and stop recording and the file will be written to /sdcard/recordvideooutput.3gpp

recorder.start();
recorder.stop();

use the developer guide http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.html

This answer is not answering the question at all. – tactoth Nov 23 '12 at 08:07 — tactoth, Nov 23 '12 at 08:07
