Message:

so i am working on a project where a video uploading feature should be there,

this is how i uploading a video

//view for video

video uploader

<form action="{{route('videoUploader')}}" role="form" id="postForm" name="postForm" method="POST" 

 enctype="multipart/form-data">

    @csrf

    <input type="file" name="files[]" multiple ><br/>

    <input type="submit"  value="upload">

</form>

and on controller side the code is
//controller for video

public function videoUpload(Request $request){

        $files=$request->file('files');

        $videoArray=[];

        if($files){

            foreach($files as $video){

                $filename= $video->getClientOriginalName();

                $extension = $video->getClientOriginalExtension();

                $fileNameToStore = $filename. '_'.time().'.'.$extension;

                $path = $video->move('storage/videos',$fileNameToStore);

                $videoArray[]=$fileNameToStore;

            }

            }

        return view('admin.Post.video',compact('videoArray'));

    }

and this is how i am getting and see output on blade

@if (!empty($videoArray))

@foreach ($videoArray as $video)

<iframe src="{{ asset('storage/videos/'.$video) }}"frameborder="0" width="250" height="200"  

allowfullscreen></iframe>

@endforeach

@endif

but the issue is, i want these videos to trim first, if video is more than 1 minute longer, it should be trimmed, and get trimmed video to show on the blade, and i don't have any idea how can i achieve this. i could not find any helpful tutorial on web for this, so i came here. please help me and thanks in advance

My Answer:
First, you need to install the "ffmpeg" package in your Laravel project. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:


composer require pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg


Next, you need to use the "FFMpeg" facade in your controller to trim the video. Here is an example of how you can trim a video in Laravel:

php
use FFMpeg;

public function trimVideo(Request $request)
{
$video = $request->file('video');
$videoName = time() . '.' . $video->getClientOriginalExtension();
$video->move(public_path('videos'), $videoName);

FFMpeg::fromDisk('local')
->open('videos/' . $videoName)
->export()
->trim(10, 20) // Trim video from 10 seconds to 20 seconds
->toDisk('local')
->inFormat(new X264)
->save('trimmed_videos/' . $videoName);

return view('video.trimmed', ['videoName' => $videoName]);
}


In your blade view, you can then display the trimmed video using the video name:

html



This is just a basic example of how you can trim a video in Laravel using the "ffmpeg" package. You can customize the trimming options according to your requirements.
