I have an interesting project wherein I need to allow users to capture video

  • 0

I have an interesting project wherein I need to allow users to capture video of themselves with a webcam at a kiosk, after which I email them a link to their video. The trick is the resulting video needs to be a ‘slow motion’ version of the captured video. So for example, if someone creates a 2 minute movie, the resulting movie will be 4 minutes.

I’d like to build this in Flex / AS3 if possible. I don’t have issues capturing the video and storing it / generating and emailing a link, but slowing down the video is the real mind bender. I’m unsure how to approach ‘batch post-processing’ a set of videos using Adobe tools.

Has anyone had a project similar to this or have suggestions on routes to take in order to do this?

Thanks!

    This is absolutely feasible from the client side, contrary to what some may believe. 🙂

    Just adjust the capture rate, which shouldn’t be too difficult all the source is there.

    Alternatively, you could write an AIR app that launches Adobe Media Encoder after writing a file and launch it with a preset that has FTP info etc. Or you can just use the socket class to connect and upload over FTP.
