To Base64

VideoEditor SDK supports saving videos to a Base64 encoded string.

Encode the video#

Open the video editor and handle the export result. After retrieving the exported video, encode the VideoEditorResult.image to a Base64 string.


import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:io';

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

class SaveVideoBase64Example 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`.
        // For this example, the video is encoded in Base64.
        final bytes = await File(Uri.parse(result.video).path).readAsBytes();
        final base64EncodedString = base64Encode(bytes);
        print(
            "Received Base64 encoded string with ${base64EncodedString.length} characters.");
      } else {
        // The user tapped on the cancel button within the editor.
        return;
      }
    } catch (error) {
      // There was an error generating the video.
      print(error);
    }
  }
