iOS Video Editor for Seamless In-App Video Editing¶

Introduction to iOS Video Editing¶

Building a professional video editing app for iPhone and iPad requires a robust SDK that delivers native performance with customizable features. The VisioForge Video Edit SDK provides tools to create stunning editing apps that rival Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve on Apple devices.

Our iOS video edit SDK integrates advanced video editing capabilities into your iOS app efficiently. Build a photo video app, content creation tools, or a video editor pro application with features users expect from modern editing apps.

Key Features¶

The SDK provides comprehensive video editing features for iOS app development:

Trimming: Frame-accurate video trimming with touch-friendly controls
Timeline: Edit multiple video and audio tracks simultaneously
Transitions: Smooth effects including fades and wipes between clips
Video Effects: Apply filters and color correction to your videos
Audio Mixing: Control volume and mix multiple audio sources
Text Overlays: Add customizable titles and watermarks

While optimized for iOS, our framework supports Android through .NET MAUI, allowing you to create cross-platform editing solutions.

Getting Started with VideoEditCoreX¶

SDK Initialization¶

Initialize the video editing engine in your iOS app:

using VisioForge.Core;
using VisioForge.Core.UI;
using VisioForge.Core.VideoEditX;

await VisioForgeX.InitSDKAsync();

var videoEdit = new VideoEditCoreX(VideoView1 as IVideoView);
videoEdit.OnError += VideoEdit_OnError;
videoEdit.OnProgress += VideoEdit_OnProgress;
videoEdit.OnStop += VideoEdit_OnStop;

Adding Video Content¶

Add video files to your timeline:

// Add full video file
videoEdit.Input_AddVideoFile("input.mp4", null);

// Or add video with specific start and stop times
videoEdit.Input_AddAudioVideoFile(
    "input.mp4",
    TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(0),
    TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(10000),
    insertTime: null);

Applying Effects¶

Enhance videos with effects that users choose for their content:

using VisioForge.Core.Types.X.VideoEffects;

var balance = new VideoBalanceVideoEffect();
balance.Brightness = 0.1;
balance.Contrast = 1.0;
videoEdit.Video_Effects.Add(balance);

Configuring Output¶

Export videos optimized for YouTube or App Store policy compliance:

using VisioForge.Core.Types;
using VisioForge.Core.Types.X.Output;

videoEdit.Output_VideoSize = new Size(1920, 1080);
videoEdit.Output_VideoFrameRate = new VideoFrameRate(30);

var mp4Output = new MP4Output("output.mp4");
videoEdit.Output_Format = mp4Output;
videoEdit.Start();

Event Handling¶

Monitor editing progress:

private void VideoEdit_OnProgress(object sender, ProgressEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Progress: {e.Progress}%");
}

private void VideoEdit_OnStop(object sender, StopEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.Successful ? "Completed" : "Error");
}

Advanced Options¶

Text Overlay API¶

Add text overlays using the native rendering API:

using VisioForge.Core.Types.X.VideoEdit;

var textOverlay = new TextOverlay("Your Title");
videoEdit.Video_TextOverlays.Add(textOverlay);

Video Transitions¶

Create smooth transitions between clips:

var transition = new VideoTransition(
    "crossfade",
    TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000),
    TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(2000));
videoEdit.Video_Transitions.Add(transition);
