npm install react-native-video-trim
# or with yarn
yarn add react-native-video-trim
Run the following command to setup for iOS:
npx pod-install ios
You need to run prebuild
in order for native code takes effect:
npx expo prebuild
npx pod-install ios
[!IMPORTANT]
Note that for both Android and iOS you have to try on real device[!IMPORTANT]
If you plan to trim remote file, you must install FFMPEG version from "https" onwards, "min" version won't work. See bottom to know how to install specific FFMPEG version
import { showEditor } from 'react-native-video-trim';
// ...
showEditor(videoUrl);
// or with output length limit
showEditor(videoUrl, {
maxDuration: 20,
});
Usually this library will be used along with other library to select video file, Eg. react-native-image-picker. Below is real world example:
import * as React from 'react';
import {
StyleSheet,
View,
Text,
TouchableOpacity,
NativeEventEmitter,
NativeModules,
} from 'react-native';
import { isValidFile, showEditor } from 'react-native-video-trim';
import { launchImageLibrary } from 'react-native-image-picker';
import { useEffect } from 'react';
export default function App() {
useEffect(() => {
const eventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(NativeModules.VideoTrim);
const subscription = eventEmitter.addListener('VideoTrim', (event) => {
switch (event.name) {
case 'onLoad': {
// on media loaded successfully
console.log('onLoadListener', event);
break;
}
case 'onShow': {
console.log('onShowListener', event);
break;
}
case 'onHide': {
console.log('onHide', event);
break;
}
case 'onStartTrimming': {
console.log('onStartTrimming', event);
break;
}
case 'onFinishTrimming': {
console.log('onFinishTrimming', event);
break;
}
case 'onCancelTrimming': {
console.log('onCancelTrimming', event);
break;
}
case 'onCancel': {
console.log('onCancel', event);
break;
}
case 'onError': {
console.log('onError', event);
break;
}
case 'onLog': {
console.log('onLog', event);
break;
}
case 'onStatistics': {
console.log('onStatistics', event);
break;
}
}
});
return () => {
subscription.remove();
};
}, []);
return (

const result = await launchImageLibrary({
mediaType: 'video',

});
isValidFile(result.assets![0]?.uri || '').then((res) =>
console.log(res)
);
showEditor(result.assets![0]?.uri || '', {
maxDuration: 20,
});
}}

</TouchableOpacity>
<TouchableOpacity

isValidFile('invalid file path').then((res) => console.log(res));
}}
style={{

)If saveToPhoto = true
, you must ensure that you have request permission to write to photo/gallery
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
in AndroidManifest.xmlNSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription
in Info.plistIf openShareSheetOnFinish=true
, on Android you'll need to update AndroidManifest.xml
like below:
</application>
...
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
</application>
If you face issue when building Android app related to file_paths
, then you may need to create res/xml/file_paths.xml
: with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<files-path name="internal_files" path="." />
<external-path name="external_files" path="." />
</paths>
This method is to check if a path is a valid video/audio
Close Editor
Return array of generated output files in app storage. (Promise<string[]>
)
Clean all generated output files in app storage. Return number of successfully deleted files (Promise<number>
)
Delete a file in app storage. Return true
if success
To listen for events you interest, do the following:
useEffect(() => {
const eventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(NativeModules.VideoTrim);
const subscription = eventEmitter.addListener('VideoTrim', (event) => {
switch (event.name) {
case 'onLoad': {
console.log('onLoadListener', event);
break;
}
case 'onShow': {
console.log('onShowListener', event);
break;
}
case 'onHide': {
console.log('onHide', event);
break;
}
case 'onStartTrimming': {
console.log('onStartTrimming', event);
break;
}
case 'onFinishTrimming': {
console.log('onFinishTrimming', event);
break;
}
case 'onCancelTrimming': {
console.log('onCancelTrimming', event);
break;
}
case 'onCancel': {
console.log('onCancel', event);
break;
}
case 'onError': {
console.log('onError', event);
break;
}
case 'onLog': {
console.log('onLog', event);
break;
}
case 'onStatistics': {
console.log('onStatistics', event);
break;
}
}
});
return () => {
subscription.remove();
};
}, []);
For audio only you have to pass type=audio
and outputExt
:
showEditor(url, {
type: 'audio', // important
outputExt: 'wav', // important: any audio type for output file extension
})
You must install FFMPEG version from "https" onwards, "min" version won't work. Eg.
// Android: android/build.gradle > buildscript > ext
buildscript {
ext {
ffmpegKitPackage = "full"
}
---
// iOS:
FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE=https npx pod-install ios
// or
FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE=https pod install
While trimming, you can press Cancel to terminate the process.
Related props: enableCancelTrimming, cancelTrimmingButtonText, enableCancelTrimmingDialog, cancelTrimmingDialogTitle, cancelTrimmingDialogMessage, cancelTrimmingDialogCancelText, cancelTrimmingDialogConfirmText
If there's error while loading media, there'll be a prompt
Related props: alertOnFailToLoad, alertOnFailTitle, alertOnFailMessage, alertOnFailCloseText
This library uses FFMPEG-Kit Android under the hood, by default FFMPEG min
is used, which gives smallest bundle size. To customize the package version please see below
If you ever need to use other version of FFMPEG-Kit for Android, you can do the following, in your android/build.gradle
> buildscript
> ext
:
buildscript {
ext {
ffmpegKitPackage = "full" // default "min"
ffmpegKitPackageVersion = "5.1.LTS" // default 6.0-2
}
Same as Android, there're 2 environment variables respectively you can use to specify FFMPEG Kit version you want to use: FFMPEG_KIT_PACKAGE
and FFMPEG_KIT_PACKAGE_VERSION
.
You need to pass the variables when running pod install. Eg:
# override package name, default: min
FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE=full npx pod-install ios
# override package version, default: '~> 6.0
FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE_VERSION=5.1 npx pod-install ios
# or both
FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE=full FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE_VERSION=5.1 npx pod-install ios
min | min-gpl | https | https-gpl | audio | video | full | full-gpl | |

ffmpeg-kit-react-native
This issue is due to this package and ffmpeg-kit-react-native
have same ffmpegkit class name under the hood:
To fix it we need to synchronize the FFMPEG Kit version of the 2 packages. For example: as shown in the image above, ffmpeg-kit-react-native
uses https
, version 6.0
, hence we need to run this:
FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE=https FFMPEG_KIT_PACKAGE_VERSION=6.0 pod install
Another way to find out exactly FFMPEG Kit version that ffmpeg-kit-react-native
using is to (check here for package name) and package version is version
in package.json
When you know the package name + version, simply run pod install
with FFMPEGKIT_PACKAGE
and FFMPEG_KIT_PACKAGE_VERSION
like above
