The app validates the added matrial links and checks if the media type is supported. Normal public accessible links of the material should work.
Garanteed supported media types
| images | video | audio |
|---|---|---|
| jpg | m4v | mp3 |
| png | mp4 |
Other media type may be added to the whitelist, depending on whether the backend supports these types.
Links of cloud services may need manual edit.
- one drive
- https://1drv.ms/v/s!AsLQUku5IU5olQAMkS7fVnCtyJx8 enter and stop further loading after first redirect
- then replace 'redirect' with 'download' in that URL e.g. https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=684E21B94B52D0C2!2688&authkey=!AAyRLt9WcK3InHw&ithint=video%2cmp4
- dropbox
- replace 'www' with 'dl' e.g. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/au3bned42n09ndy/VID-20180524-WA0002.mp4?dl=0
- google drive
- take file id of google drive public shared URL and create a URL in the format of e.g. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1qXlYazitNrc7Up6XceuGPYZKVb6DXG00
The video stitching process will first send the segmentation request of the used materials and the send the stitching request. The stitching request of the backend is currently not working correctly and gives an error response. It is not recommended to reload the app while sending the segmentation request, because the required JobID, to fetch the responses, is randomly generated on each app load.
The backend can be restarted with the button "purge & restart", if it has crashed. Pop-up windows has to be allowed in this process, because it will open three external links with one click.
Audio is right now supported by the app, but not by the backend. Stitching and editing audio to the video files is possible, but will not be send to the backend for processing.
