API Changes

Examples

• For example, for a 15-second video played at 2x speed, getDuration is 7.5 s. If getCurrentTime is 3.5 s, getStreamDuration is 15 s, and getCurrentStreamTime is 7 s.

• For another example, for a 15-second video played at 0.5x speed, getDuration is 30 s. If getCurrentTime is 10 s, getStreamDuration is 15 s, and getCurrentStreamTime is 5 s.

• For another example, for a 15-second video played in reverse, getDuration is 15 s. If getCurrentTime is 6 s, getStreamDuration is 15 s, and getCurrentStreamTime is 9 s.

The preceding examples describe the behavior for the entire video. The same rules apply to parts of a video, such as for partial speed adjustments and repetitions.

Other

Release Notes

• New time effect APIs

  • (int)applyTimeFilter:(AliyunEffectTimeFilter *)filter.

  • (int)removeTimeFilter.

• Adjustments to AliyunImporter class APIs. The following three APIs are deprecated.

  • (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

    The new APIs are built using the AliyunClip object.

• Adjustments to playback status and API calls. Compared with version 3.5, version 3.6 handles switching between the foreground and background and switching pages internally. Details are as follows:

  (void)setActive is deprecated.

  Handling of viewWillAppear and viewWillDisappear: When viewWillDisappear occurs, you do not need to call stopEdit to destroy the entire AliyunEdit object. You only need to call stop to stop playback. Similarly, when viewWillAppear occurs, you only need to call play to resume playback.

  Handling of switching between the background and foreground: When the app is switched to the background, the SDK stops playback or export. When the app returns to the foreground, playback resumes by default (or remains paused).

  Error handling: In version 3.6, if an error occurs during playback or export, the process stops. The error is returned through playError or exportError. You can handle the error as needed.

• New player APIs

  • (double)getStreamDuration; // Retrieves the duration of the original video stream in seconds.

  • (double)getCurrentStreamTime; // Retrieves the playback time of the original video stream in seconds.

• Watermark

  • Deprecated API: (void)setWaterMark: frame.

  • New API: (void)setWaterMark:(AliyunEffect*)waterMark.

  • The ending slate watermark supports preview. To enable this, call the -(void)setTailWaterMark API.

• Music API

  • Supports multi-channel audio streams and playing a specific time range of an audio file. To add only one audio track, call the remove API. Example:

    AliyunEffectMusic *music = [[AliyunEffectMusic alloc] initWithFile:path];
    [self.editor removeMusics];// Call this if you need only one audio track. 
    [self.editor applyMusic:music];

  • Supports playing a specific time range of a music file. Example:

    AliyunEffectMusicmusic = [[AliyunEffectMusic alloc] initWithFile:path];
    music.startTime = startTime; // The start time of the music file itself.
    music.duration = duration; // The playback duration of the music file itself.
    music.streamStartTime = streamStart[_player getStreamDuration]; // The start time of the music on the playback timeline.
    music.streamDuration = streamDuration * [_player getStreamDuration]; // The playback duration of the music on the playback timeline.
