Saving trimmed video #
Returns a string to indicate whether the saving operation was successful.

Advanced Command #
You can use an advanced FFmpeg command if you require more customization. Just define your FFmpeg command using the ffmpegCommand property and set an output video format using customVideoFormat.
Refer to the Official FFmpeg Documentation for more information.

NOTE: Passing a wrong video format to the customVideoFormat property may result in a crash.

// Example of defining a custom command

// This is already used for creating GIF by
// default, so you do not need to use this.

await _trimmer
.saveTrimmedVideo(
startValue: _startValue,
endValue: _endValue,
ffmpegCommand:
'-vf "fps=10,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop 0',
customVideoFormat: '.gif')
.then((value) {
setState(() {
_value = value;
});
});

Example #
Before using this example directly in a Flutter app, don't forget to add the video_trimmer & file_picker packages to your pubspec.yaml file.
You can try out this example by replacing the entire content of main.dart file of a newly created Flutter project.

Troubleshooting LTS version #
While running on the Android platform if it gives an error that the minSdkVersion needs to be 24, or on iOS platform that the Podfile platform version should be 11, first go to pubspec.lock file and see if the version of ffmpeg_kit_flutter has -LTS suffix. This should fix all issues for iOS platform.
On Android, if you still face the same issue, try adding the following to the <project_directory>/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:
<manifest xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" ....... >
<uses-sdk tools:overrideLibrary="com.arthenica.ffmpegkit.flutter, com.arthenica.ffmpegkit" />
</manifest>
