Laravel FFMpeg

This package provides an integration with FFmpeg for Laravel 5.1 and higher. The storage of the files is handled by Laravel's Filesystem.

Features

• Super easy wrapper around PHP-FFMpeg, including support for filters and other advanced features.
• Integration with Laravel's Filesystem, configuration system and logging handling.
• Compatible with Laravel 5.1 and up.
• PHP 7.0 and 7.1 only.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg

Add the service provider and facade to your app.php config file:

// Laravel 5: config/app.php

'providers' => [
    ...
    Pbmedia\LaravelFFMpeg\FFMpegServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'FFMpeg' => Pbmedia\LaravelFFMpeg\FFMpegFacade::class
    ...
];

Publish the config file using the artisan CLI tool:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Pbmedia\LaravelFFMpeg\FFMpegServiceProvider"

Usage

Convert an audio or video file:

FFMpeg::fromDisk('songs')
    ->open('yesterday.mp3')
    ->export()
    ->toDisk('converted_songs')
    ->inFormat(new \FFMpeg\Format\Audio\Aac)
    ->save('yesterday.aac');

You can add filters through a Closure or by using PHP-FFMpeg's Filter objects:

FFMpeg::fromDisk('videos')
    ->open('steve_howe.mp4')
    ->addFilter(function ($filters) {
        $filters->resize(new \FFMpeg\Coordinate\Dimension(640, 480));
    })
    ->export()
    ->toDisk('converted_videos')
    ->inFormat(new \FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264)
    ->save('small_steve.mkv');

// or

$start = \FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(5)
$clipFilter = new \FFMpeg\Filters\Video\ClipFilter($start);

FFMpeg::fromDisk('videos')
    ->open('steve_howe.mp4')
    ->addFilter($clipFilter)
    ->export()
    ->toDisk('converted_videos')
    ->inFormat(new \FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264)
    ->save('short_steve.mkv');

Chain multiple convertions:

// The 'fromDisk()' method is not required, the file will now
// be opened from the default 'disk', as specified in
// the config file.

FFMpeg::open('my_movie.mov')

    // export to FTP, converted in WMV
    ->export()
    ->toDisk('ftp')
    ->inFormat(new \FFMpeg\Format\Video\WMV)
    ->save('my_movie.wmv')

    // export to Amazon S3, converted in X264
    ->export()
    ->toDisk('s3')
    ->inFormat(new \FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264)
    ->save('my_movie.mkv');

    // you could even discard the 'toDisk()' method,
    // now the converted file will be saved to
    // the same disk as the source!
    ->export()
    ->inFormat(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\WebM)
    ->save('my_movie.webm')

Create a frame from a video:

FFMpeg::fromDisk('videos')
    ->open('steve_howe.mp4')
    ->getFrameFromSeconds(10)
    ->export()
    ->toDisk('thumnails')
    ->save('FrameAt10sec.png');

// Instead of the 'getFrameFromSeconds()' method, you could
// also use the 'getFrameFromString()' or the
// 'getFrameFromTimecode()' methods:

$media = FFMpeg::open('steve_howe.mp4');
$frame = $media->getFrameFromString('00:00:13.37');

// or

$timecode = new FMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode(...);
$frame = $media->getFrameFromTimecode($timecode);

Create a M3U8 playlist to do HLS:

$lowBitrate = (new X264)->setKiloBitrate(250);
$midBitrate = (new X264)->setKiloBitrate(500);
$highBitrate = (new X264)->setKiloBitrate(1000);

FFMpeg::fromDisk('videos')
    ->open('steve_howe.mp4')
    ->exportForHLS()
    ->setSegmentLength(10) // optional
    ->addFormat($lowBitrate)
    ->addFormat($midBitrate)
    ->addFormat($highBitrate)
    ->save('adaptive_steve.m3u8');
