Description

Would be a game changer to let the editor upload a video, like instagram, so its inserted as a layer same as its done with te image. Would love to help if i can with anything.

Why

Now a days social medias are based on video as well as images.

That would be a great feature, but implementing it will take a significant amount of time, especially for the generation aspect. In my current projects, I do not require this feature, so I have no plans to implement it. However, for anyone who wishes to implement it and want to create a PR, I will explain below which parts will need to be modified.

Layer

• Create a new layer class, possibly named VideoLayerData, in the following file: layer.dart.
• Update the layer widget to include the new video layer in this file: layer_widget.dart. I suggest using the media_kit package, as it supports video playback across all platforms, making it the easiest option.

Generation

• To capture the final video, it will be necessary to write entirely new logic in the content_recorder to capture only the video. Similar to how the photo capture process is handled, it will be essential to use multi-threading. This means using isolates on Dart native platforms and setting up a web worker for Dart-web.
• Update the output_formats file with the possible formats. At a minimum, it should support MP4 and GIF. If you want to implement additional formats, MOV, AVI, and MKV could also be useful.
• Implement the logic to apply filters, paintings, and other effects.
• It should also support video cropping, allowing users to trim the video length.
• Consider the possibility of running background threads to apply changes directly, similar to how it's currently done in the photo editor.

Import/ Export

• The editor currently supports importing/exporting everything as a JSON file. It may be necessary to add parameters for features like cropped duration.

Various

• Update the changelog file.
• Update the readme file.
