Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hello Team,

I am using your trial version of Aspose Slides for Java to test its functionalities and finding its suits for our requirement. I am trying to extract a video from the presentation and trying to get its duration. I am able to extract the video frames but is there a way to get the duration of the video that we are extracting from the slides?

Thanks,
Renjith.

Hi Ranjith,


I have observed the requirements shared and regret to share that Aspose.Slides does not support extracting the video duration from presentation. I have created an issue with ID SLIDESJAVA-35669 as new feature request to investigate the possibility of implementing the requested feature support. This thread has been linked with the issue so that you may be automatically notified once the issue will be resolved.

Thank you for the notification.

It would be really helpful if you can explain the way to get the video duration. I downloaded the new version and checked IVideoFrame object and could not find a suitable method for the same.

Thanks.

Hi Renjith,

Our product team has investigated the requirement on their end. Unfortunately, there is no an easy way to determine the duration of extracted video because different video formats have completely different formats of their metadata. After discussion, we have created an example with use another library in combination with slides.

Code snippet based on Xuggler (http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/):

class Demo
{
    static long getVideoDuration(String path)
    {
        // first we create a Xuggler container object
        IContainer container = IContainer.make();

        // we attempt to open up the container
        int result = container.open(path, IContainer.Type.READ, null);

        // check if the operation was successful
        if (result<0)
            throw new RuntimeException(“Failed to open media file”);

        // query for the total duration
        long duration = container.getDuration();

        return duration;
    }
}

The above code will help you in getting the video duration.

Many Thanks,
