From Camera Roll

VideoEditor SDK supports importing videos from the camera roll.

Select a video#

In this example, we are using the image_picker plugin to select a video from the camera roll.

Open the editor#

When a video has been selected we pass the local URI to the openEditor method to load the video into the editor and open it. Once the video has been exported, we handle the result and possible occurring errors.

import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';
import 'package:video_editor_sdk/video_editor_sdk.dart';

class OpenVideoCameraRollExample extends CodeExample {
  @override
  void invoke() async {
    try {
      // Select an image from the gallery using the [ImagePicker].
      final imagePicker = ImagePicker();
      final video = await imagePicker.pickVideo(source: ImageSource.gallery);
      final videoPath = video?.path;
      if (videoPath == null) return;

      // Open the video editor and handle the export as well as any occurring errors.
      final result = await VESDK.openEditor(Video(videoPath));

      if (result != null) {
        // The user exported a new video successfully and the newly generated video is located at `result.video`.
        print(result.video);
      } else {
        // The user tapped on the cancel button within the editor.
        return;
      }
    } catch (error) {
      // There was an error generating the video.
      print(error);
    }
  }
}
