README

        
A cli tool to do video editing using [spacebro](https://github.com/spacebro/spacebro)

Made with nodejs and ffmpeg.

# How to

## Requires

Install ffmpeg

`

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kirillshkrogalev/ffmpeg-next && sudo apt-get update -qq

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

`

Install npm packages

```

npm i

```

If you need to change settings,

Copy settings.default.json to settings.json

```

cp settings/settings.default.json settings/settings.json

```

And edit settings.json

You can also change settings with argv parameters.

Learn more about this on [standard-settings](https://github.com/soixantecircuits/standard-settings)

## Spacebro

You can use etna by sending commands via spacebro.

The example above watermarks a video.

The watermark recipe is in the `basic.js` file.

```

spacebroClient.emit('new-media-for-etna', {

  recipe: 'watermark',

  input: 'example/calculatedmovements.mp4',

  params: {watermark: 'example/pacman.mov'}

})

```

For a full working example, look at `test/simpletest.js`

Start etna:

```

node index.js

```

and start the example script

```

node test/simpletest.js

```

## Recipes

A recipe is an operation on the input media. Like the watermark above, or a crop, or anything you could do on a video or image.

All recipes are in the `recipes` folder. A recipe is a named function you can export from within the recipes folder.

To use a recipe, mention in in the media sent on spacebro, or in the settings.

## Thumbnail

You often need a thumbnail of the video generated.

If so, you can add in the media meta:

```

meta: {

  thumbnail: {

    position: '50%'

  }

```

Position can be either a float representing a time in seconds, or a percent of the video duration.

## Command-line

You can use etna with the command line with a json file.

You can try the example with

```

node index.js -f example/edit.json

```
