How to work with video using FFMpeg Android?

Question

Java

Hello!

Now I'm studying the issue of working with video on android. Change, playback, download, etc. As I understand it, the most popular library for working with video is FFMpeg. The goal is for the video to be downloaded from the server and shown to the user. The user could modify the video (merge with others, add watermarks, etc.) and send it back to the server.

Is it possible to do this with FFMpeg? How would it be more correct to download video from the server to the user's phone, change it on the client and then send it to the server, or send the user's video to the server and change it already on it? And the client to use only for display of result.

Answer 1

It will be faster to edit the video on the server, otherwise the client will go crazy waiting until all the movies are downloaded to his phone.
