Convert Video to Other Formats via .NET API

Aspose.Video Cloud SDK for .NET has included complete support for converting video files to other supported file formats inside .NET applications. The library has included various important features related video loading and conversion, such as adjusting video properties (FPS, resolution, volume level), converting video from AVI to mp4 format, adding text watermark into the video, adding image watermark into the video, changing video resolution, encoding the video with different codec, increase or decrease video playback speed, adjust video aspect ratio, making sound of the video quieter half of the original, adjusting video bitrate and many more.

using Aspose.Video.Cloud.Sdk.Api;
using Com.Aspose.Storage.Api;
using Aspose.Video.Cloud.Sdk.Model;
using Aspose.Video.Cloud.Sdk.Model.Requests;

private const string BaseProductUri = @"https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1";

Extract Part of a Video via .NET API

Aspose.Video Cloud SDK for .NET enables software developers to load their videos in different file formats and extract part of their videos without any external dependencies. The library allows extracting part of a video using Aspose.Video by specifying the start and end time of the desired segment using the ExtractVideoApi class. The API allows developers to set additional options for the segment extraction, such as the output format and the quality of the extracted video. The response object returned contains the extracted video data, which you can save to a file using the Save method.

// First, you need to initialize the VideoApi instance
var videoApi = new VideoApi(apiKey, appSid, basePath);

// Specify the name of the source video file and the start and end times of the desired segment in seconds
var name = "sample.mp4";
var startTime = 30; // start time in seconds
var endTime = 60; // end time in seconds

// Set the options for the segment extraction
var options = new ExtractOptions
{
    StartTime = startTime,
    EndTime = endTime
};

// Extract the desired segment from the video and save it to a new file
var response = videoApi.ExtractVideo(name, options);
response.Save("extracted.mp4");

How to Get Video Properties via .NET API

Aspose.Video Cloud SDK for .NET has included complete support for handling video properties inside their own C# .NET applications. The API returns an object that contains information about the video such as codec, resolution, path, duration etc. Audio properties are also included. The following code example demonstrates how to retrieve the video properties and use it according to their needs.

using Aspose.Video.Cloud.Sdk.Api;

using Com.Aspose.Storage.Api;

using Aspose.Video.Cloud.Sdk.Model;
using Aspose.Video.Cloud.Sdk.Model.Requests;
private const string BaseProductUri = @"https://api.aspose.cloud/v1.1";

// Get App Key and App SID from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/

private const string AppSID = ""; 
private const string AppKey = "";

var localName = "sample.avi";
var remoteName = "TestGetVideo.avi";

var fullName = Path.Combine(this.dataFolder, remoteName);

this.StorageApi.PutCreate(fullName, null, null, File.ReadAllBytes(BaseTestContext.GetDataDir() + localName));
var request = new GetVideoPropertiesRequest(remoteName, this.dataFolder);
var actual = this.VideoApi.GetVideoProperties(request);
