# FieldtypeVideo

Processwire field type for storing video files and automatically creating poster images

### This new video fieldtype extends FieldtypeFile.

* Video is available via: $page->video_field->url

* Module automatically creates a poster image of the video on upload and makes this available via: $page->video_field->poster

* Shows the duration of the video on the title bar, next to the filesize

* Stores VTT files for subtitles accessed via: $page->video_field->subtitles

* Formats a transcript from the subtitles, accessed via: $page->video_field->transcript

The video can be automatically rendered on the frontend with the `play()` method via the `` tag. The exact settings used can be set in the module settings like this:

```

```

### Usage

Basic usage only requires setting up a field with this new video fieldtype. Simply upload a video and if desired enter subtitles in VTT format.

#### Additional settings

You can additionally set a few different options in the field's Input tab:

* Number of poster images to generate - if you change from the default of 1, the editing user will be able to select which image they want to use for the poster image

* Copy poster image to dedicated image field - not necessary but gives you more options of interacting with the poster image(s)

* Field that you want poster images copied into - only relevant if the option above is checked

### Requirements

The module requires ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php, although I can make the latter optional fairly easily. I don't have any requirement checking implemented yet, so if you don't have these, you'll get php errors.

### Possible future enhancements

* Multi language versions of subtitles

* Support for uploading multiple formats of the same video (mp4, webm, etc) and/or automated video format conversion
