Vid_Trimmer

This is a service written in Go to save me from downloading a full video when I only need a part from the video.

I'm a low budget and lazy developer, so I don't have the money or time to make it a tool for everyone. If you have the time and cash to create a service from it, please do.

The project uses github.com/jtguibas/cinema to trim videos.

My personal vid-trimmer

Supported video sites

• Youtube videos using github.com/kkdai/youtube
• twitter videos using github.com/dghubble/go-twitter
• video url

Generate Download link

This endpoint generates a download link for the trimmed video.

Path: [GET]/download

Request Parameters

• url: the url to download from
• format: the format to return the file
• start: the second s to start the trim
• end: the second e to end the trim

Response

This returns a json object that contains link and state fields.

link is the download link of the trimmed video.

state gives info about the state of the video.

• NULL: no file yet
• PENDING: trimming started, but not complete
• DONE: video trimmed successfully

The frontend will have to make a request periodically till the state is DONE. This is because I don't have time to add websocket (remember, I'm a lazy dev)
