How to create a video from an array of images in Android?
You can use jcodec SequenceEncoder
to convert sequence of images to MP4 file.
Sample code :
import org.jcodec.api.awt.SequenceEncoder;
...
SequenceEncoder enc = new SequenceEncoder(new File("filename"));
// GOP size will be supported in 0.2
// enc.getEncoder().setKeyInterval(25);
for(...) {
BufferedImage image = ... // Obtain an image to encode
enc.encodeImage(image);
}
enc.finish();
It's a java library so it's easy to import it into Android project, you don't have to use NDK unlike ffmpeg.
Refer http://jcodec.org/ for sample code & downloads.
Using JCodec as demonstrated by Stanislav Vitvitskyy here.
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { SequenceEncoder encoder = new SequenceEncoder(new File("video.mp4")); for (int i = 1; i < 100; i++) { BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new File(String.format("img%08d.png", i))); encoder.encodeImage(bi); } encoder.finish();}
Now to convert your Bitmap to BufferedImage you can use this class:
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.awt.image.DataBufferByte;
import java.awt.image.DataBufferInt;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
