Veo

Veo is a utility library for Elixir designed to simplify common video processing tasks and interactions with video metadata. It provides convenient functions for extracting information, manipulating timestamps, and working with video formats.

Installation

Add veo to your list of dependencies in mix.exs: elixir def deps do [

{:veo, "~> 0.1.0"}

] end

Then, run mix deps.get to fetch the dependency.

Usage Examples

Here are a few examples demonstrating how to use Veo in your Elixir projects:

1. Extracting Video Duration: elixir alias Veo.Metadata

video_file = "path/to/your/video.mp4"

case Metadata.duration(video_file) do {:ok, duration} ->

IO.puts "Video duration: #{duration} seconds"

->

IO.puts "Error extracting duration: #{reason}"

end

2. Checking Video Format: elixir alias Veo.Format

video_file = "path/to/your/video.mov"

case Format.is_mp4?(video_file) do true ->

IO.puts "The video is in MP4 format."

false ->

IO.puts "The video is not in MP4 format."

end

3. Converting Timestamp to Seconds: elixir alias Veo.Timestamp

timestamp = "00:01:30"

case Timestamp.to_seconds(timestamp) do {:ok, seconds} ->

IO.puts "Timestamp in seconds: #{seconds}"

->

IO.puts "Error converting timestamp: #{reason}"

end

4. Piping Operations for Metadata Retrieval: elixir alias Veo.Metadata alias Veo.Timestamp

video_file = "path/to/your/video.mkv"

video_file |> Metadata.creation_time() |> case do {:ok, creation_time} ->

creation_time
|> Timestamp.to_unix()
|> case do
  {:ok, unix_timestamp} ->
    IO.puts "Video creation timestamp (Unix): #{unix_timestamp}"
  {:error, reason} ->
    IO.puts "Error converting to Unix timestamp: #{reason}"
end

->

IO.puts "Error retrieving creation time: #{reason}"

end

5. Validating a Video File Path: elixir alias Veo.File

video_file = "path/to/your/video.avi"

case File.exists?(video_file) do true ->

IO.puts "Video file exists."

false ->

IO.puts "Video file does not exist."

end

Feature Summary

• Metadata Extraction: Easily retrieve video duration, creation time, and other relevant metadata.
• Format Detection: Determine the format of a video file (e.g., MP4, MOV, AVI).
• Timestamp Conversion: Convert between different timestamp formats (e.g., "HH:MM:SS" to seconds, and to Unix timestamps).
• File Validation: Check if a given video file path exists.
• Error Handling: Robust error handling with informative error messages.
• Simple API: Easy to use and integrate into existing Elixir projects.
