From Local Path

VideoEditor SDK supports loading video files from the local file system such as the documents or a temporary directory, as well as the application resources.

Open the editor#

To load the video into the editor simply specify it as the video parameter inside the asynchronous VESDK.openEditor function. In this example, we load a video from the local path into the editor.

Handle events#

Once the editor finishes, a VideoEditorResult is returned which contains the edited video at VideoEditorResult.video. If no result is returned, the user has canceled the editing process by clicking the cancel button inside the editor.


import 'package:catalog/models/code_example.dart';
import 'package:video_editor_sdk/video_editor_sdk.dart';

class OpenVideoLocalPathExample extends CodeExample {
  @override
  void invoke() async {
    try {
      // Add a video from the assets directory.
      final video = Video("assets/Skater.mp4");

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

      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);
    }
  }
}
