Changes to API operations

  • API operations related to watermarks
    The (void)setWaterMark:frame operation is deprecated and the (void)setWaterMark operation is added. See the following sample code:
    NSString watermarkPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"watermark" ofType:@"png"];
AliyunEffectImage effectImage = [[AliyunEffectImage alloc] init];
effectImage.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 28, 20);
effectImage.path = watermarkPath;
[self.editor setWaterMark:effectImag];
  • API operations related to end watermarks
    V3.6.0 provides the (void)setTailWaterMark operation that allows you to configure an end watermark for a video and view the end watermark when you preview the video. See the following sample code:
    NSString tailWatermarkPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"tail" ofType:@"png"];
AliyunEffectImage tailWatermark = [[AliyunEffectImage alloc] initWithFile:tailWatermarkPath];
tailWatermark.frame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.movieView.bounds) - 84 / 2, CGRectGetMidY(self.movieView.bounds) - 60 / 2, 84, 60);
tailWatermark.endTime = 2;
[self.editor setTailWaterMark:tailWatermark];
  • New API operations used to add music
    • Multiple audio streams can be mixed in V3.6.0. If you want to add only one audio stream, call the removeMusics operation. See the following sample code:
      AliyunEffectMusic *music = [[AliyunEffectMusic alloc] initWithFile:path];
[self.editor removeMusics]; // Call this operation if you want to add only one audio stream.
[self.editor applyMusic:music];
    • If you want to add music, call the (void)removeMVMusic operation. Example: AliyunEffectMusic *music = [[AliyunEffectMusic alloc] initWithFile:path]. 
      [self.editor removeMVMusic];
[self.editor removeMusics];
[self.editor applyMusic:music];
    • The playback of a specified part of a music stream is supported in V3.6.0. The following sample code shows how to specify a time range:
      AliyunEffectMusic music = [[AliyunEffectMusic alloc] initWithFile:path];
music.startTime = startTime; // Specify the start time of the part of the music stream that you want to play.
music.duration = duration; // Specify the duration of the part of the music stream that you want to play.
music.streamStartTime = streamStart [_player getStreamDuration]; // Specify the point in time on the playback timeline when the music stream starts.
music.streamDuration = streamDuration * [_player getStreamDuration]; // Specify the playback duration of the music stream on the playback timeline.
  • New API operations used to display time effects
    • The (void)addTimelineTimeFilterItem operation is added to the demo. For information about the code, see the demo.
    • Time effects and filters affect each other.
      If you add a filter when speed ramping applies to the entire video or the video is played in reverse, make sure that the filter is displayed in the specified time period. Relevant code in V3.6.0 is included in the following API operations:
      (void)didBeganLongPressEffectFilter:(AliyunEffectFilterInfo *)animtinoFilterInfo;
(void)didTouchingProgress;
(void)didEndLongPress;
      Sample code:
      AliyunEffectFilter *animationFilter = [[AliyunEffectFilter alloc] initWithFile:[animtinoFilterInfo localFilterResourcePath]];
float currentSec = [self.player getCurrentTime];
float currentStreamSec = [self.player getCurrentStreamTime];
animationFilter.startTime = currentSec;
animationFilter.endTime = [self.player getDuration];
animationFilter.streamStartTime = currentStreamSec; // The streamStartTime parameter is added. You must configure this parameter when a time effect is applied.
animationFilter.streamEndTime = [self.player getStreamDuration]; // The streamEndTime parameter is added. You must configure this parameter when a time effect is applied.
[self.editor applyAnimationFilter:animationFilter];

      For compatibility with earlier versions, you can set the startTime and endTime parameters if no time effect is applied. In this case, the streamStartTime and streamEndTime parameters are not required.

  • New API operations related to time effects
    The new API operations can be used in V3.5.0 without causing compatibility issues. For more information about the code, see the V3.6.0 demo.
    AliyunEffectTimeFilter *timeFilter = [[AliyunEffectTimeFilter alloc] init];
timeFilter.startTime = [_player getCurrentStreamTime];
timeFilter.endTime = timeFilter.startTime + 1;
timeFilter.type = TimeFilterTypeSpeed;
timeFilter.param = 0.5;
[self.editor applyTimeFilter:timeFilter];
  • Modification of playback status and relevant API operations, such as the operations used to switch screens and switch between the foreground and background
    Compared with V3.5.0, the operations that are used to switch screens and switch between the foreground and background are internally handled in V3.6.0.
    • The -(void)setActive operation is deprecated.
    • Handling of viewWillAppear and viewWillDisappear: When the viewWillDisappear callback is returned, you do not need to call the stopEdit operation to destroy the AliyunEdit instance. You need only to call the stop method to stop the playback. Similarly, when the viewWillAppear callback is returned, you need only to call the play method to restart the playback.
    • Handling when the application is switched to the background or foreground:

      When the application is switched to the background, the short video SDK stops playing or exporting the video. When the application is switched to the foreground, the short video SDK restarts or pauses the video playback.

      Error handling:

      In V3.6.0, when an error occurs during playback or export, the playback or export is stopped and the error is returned in the playError or exportError callback. You can handle the error as needed.

  • The following operations of the AliyunImporter class are deprecated. For compatibility with earlier versions, these operations can still be called in V3.6.0.
    • (void)addVideoWithPath:(NSString *)videoPath animDuration:(CGFloat)animDuration
    • (void)addVideoWithPath:(NSString *)videoPath startTime:(CGFloat)startTime duration:(CGFloat)duration animDuration:(CGFloat)animDuration
    • (NSString )addImage:(UIImage )image duration:(CGFloat)duration animDuration:(CGFloat)animDuration

    You can construct an AliyunClip object.

Note Before you use time effects, make sure that you know basic concepts about the player.
  • /* Obtain the total playback duration. Unit: seconds. @return total duration. /

    (double)getDuration

  • /* Obtain the elapsed time since the video started playing. Unit: seconds. /

    (double)getCurrentTime

  • /* Obtain the duration of the original video stream. Unit: seconds. @return total duration. /

    (double)getStreamDuration

  • /* Obtain the elapsed time since the original video stream started playing. Unit: seconds. /

    (double)getCurrentStreamTime

Examples

  • If the duration of a video is 15 seconds and the video is played at twice the speed, getDuration is 7.5 seconds. If getCurrentTime is 3.5 seconds, getStreamDuration is 15 seconds and getCurrentStreamTime is 7 seconds.
  • If the duration of a video is 15 seconds and the video is played at half the speed, getDuration is 30 seconds. If getCurrentTime is 10 seconds, getStreamDuration is 15 seconds and getCurrentStreamTime is 5 seconds.
  • If the duration of a video is 15 seconds and the video is played in reverse, getDuration is 15 seconds. If getCurrentTime is 6 seconds, getStreamDuration is 15 seconds and getCurrentStreamTime is 9 seconds.

In the preceding examples, the time effect is used on the entire video. If the time effect is used only on a part of the video, the playback duration, stream duration, and playback positions are obtained based on the same rules.
