remotion-dev / rust-ffmpeg-splitter

FFmpeg as a binary and with Rust bindings

Rust FFmpeg splitter

The goal is to use this in Remotion to achieve the following:

• Have the FFmpeg CLI
• Be able to use FFmpeg functions in Rust
• Have no duplicate code
• Precompile it for all platforms
• Be lightweight

Instructions

node clean.mjs
node compile-ffmpeg.mjs
node generate-bindings.mjs
node zip.mjs

Relation to Remotion repository

By running the above instructions on a macOS Apple Silicon machine, and by running it in a CircleCI pipeline (free tier works as long as this repo is kept open source) and downloading the artifacts, we obtain 7 zip files:

aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz
x86_64-apple-darwin.gz
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz
aarch64-apple-darwin.gz
aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.gz
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.gz
x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.gz

These 7 files are added to the fork of the rust-ffmpeg-sys crate in the zips folder. Create your own fork off Remotion if necessary.

Once committed and pushed to GitHub, the commit ID is copied and added to the rust-ffmpeg crate in the [Cargo.toml] file. Fork this repository as well if necessary and change the repository name to your fork.

Once this is committed and pushed to GitHub, the main Remotion repository references the rust-ffmpeg repository in the Cargo.toml file.
