Convert a JPG to video with supplied WAV file for audio?
Convert a JPG to video with supplied WAV file for audio?
Aug 23, 2015
Archive Agent wrote
I couldn’t get the JPG to video example to work after watching the video using the C# source code for the editor SDK so I’m not sure if this is easy/possible or not – all I want to do is take a single .JPG file and have it create a video using an existing WAV file recording I already have – I want the video to consist of a static show of the JPG and play the audio track till complete. Poking around with the editor options I’m not seeing a way to provide an existing audio track to do this unless I’m missing something obvious?
thanks

Just for more detail – I was trying to play with the image-to-video example using the console example here: http://support.visioforge.com/knowledgebase/articles/234549-video-from-images-in-console-application-using-vid
Followed the example exactly, just passing in a single .JPG file (softblue.jpg from the Microsoft shared files folder) – when the play is executed it throws an error: “GetGroupOutputPin: Operation failed because project was not rendered successfully.”
Not sure what that means – I tried using a VideoEdit control on the form itself instead of using the console/slave control and it throws the same error. Tried some different .JPG files and a few .GIFs I had laying around and it’s always the same error.
Is this perhaps something that is not allowed in the demo mode?

Here’s the entire code for my little test console application (yes, SoftBlue.jpg is in c: - I can send you the file if needed):
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
const string outputFilename = "c:\\testvideo.avi";
if (File.Exists(outputFilename))
{
File.Delete(outputFilename);
}
VisioForge.Controls.VideoEdit.VideoEditSlave videoEdit1 = new VisioForge.Controls.VideoEdit.VideoEditSlave();
videoEdit1.Input_AddImageFile("c:\\SoftBlue.jpg", 2000, 0, VFVideoEditStretchMode.Letterbox);
videoEdit1.Video_Effects_Clear();
videoEdit1.Mode = VisioForge.Types.VFVideoEditMode.Convert;
videoEdit1.Video_Resize = true;
videoEdit1.Video_Resize_Width = 640;
videoEdit1.Video_Resize_Height = 480;
videoEdit1.Video_FrameRate = 25;
videoEdit1.Video_Renderer = VisioForge.Types.VFVideoRenderer.None;
videoEdit1.Screen_Stretch = false;
videoEdit1.Output_Format = VFVideoEditOutputFormat.AVI;
videoEdit1.Output_Filename = outputFilename;
videoEdit1.Audio_Codec_Name = "PCM";
videoEdit1.Audio_Codec_Channels = 1;
videoEdit1.Audio_Codec_BPS = 16;
videoEdit1.Audio_Codec_SampleRate = 48000;
videoEdit1.Video_Codec = "MJPEG Compressor";
videoEdit1.Audio_LAME_UseInAVI = false;
videoEdit1.Audio_Preview_Enabled = true;
videoEdit1.Audio_Effects_Clear(-1);
videoEdit1.Audio_Effects_Enabled = false;
videoEdit1.Video_Effects_Enabled = true;
videoEdit1.Video_Effects_Clear();
videoEdit1.Video_Effects_Deinterlace_CAVT(1, 0, 0, true, Convert.ToByte("20"));
videoEdit1.OnError += VideoEdit1_OnError;
videoEdit1.OnProgress += VeOnOnProgress;
videoEdit1.ConsoleUsage = true;
videoEdit1.Start();
while (videoEdit1.Status == VFVideoEditStatus.Work)
{
Console.WriteLine(videoEdit1.Progress());
Console.WriteLine(videoEdit1.Duration());
Console.WriteLine(videoEdit1.Status);
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
Console.WriteLine("Done!");
}
private static void VeOnOnProgress(object sender, ProgressEventArgs progressEventArgs)
{
Console.WriteLine(progressEventArgs.Progress);
}
private static void VideoEdit1_OnError(object sender, ErrorsEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

I think C:\outputvideo.avi is not available for writing, please save video to My Documents folder.
Yes, please send me an image.

c:\ is available to write (it's Win7 and I'm running as admin) - I've been testing all your libraries outputting to there and they all work fine. But I did use a temp file in the users/jlindborg/... path as well, same error.
I tried numerous image files - but I'll send you the softblue.jpg anyway...

hmmm... I thought there was a way to attach a file in the threading here but I don't see it - is there an email address or a location to provide files?

in you code i don't see how you are added audio file... so, you must add audio file or disable audio stream encoding

I sent the JPG file.
I’m just following your example for creating a video using the command line application version:
http://support.visioforge.com/knowledgebase/articles/234549-video-from-images-in-console-application-using-vid
it makes no mention of adding an audio file – so I’m unsure what the purpose of the example is if it’s missing some critical piece of functionality necessary to make it work – there should be at least a comment in there directing users to follow up on it.
If you have a fully working example in .NET for how to convert a .JPG into a video (with or without an audio file) I'd like to see it...
