How to make video effects in PHP?

[unemployment]

Do you know of a way in php to do multitrack video editing? The only tool I have found online is a MltMelt, which is a command line utility. I'm in the process of making an app that merges multiple videos, photos and audio clips into one video, but I was wondering if there was a way to process this in php. Can anyone point me to a PHP library that can handle things like multitrack merging, transitions, color effects, blurring, etc?

 

I'm looking for adobe premier like features in code.

There is nothing I know of. The closest thing I can think of is ffmpeg. There is a pretty decent wrapper library here: https://github.com/PHP-FFMpeg/PHP-FFMpeg/

 

With that said, it's primarily used by people to transcode and could be used to add effects, although you would undoubtably have to extend it. With that said, it's not editing software.

Thanks for the response.  Regardless of programming language do you know of anything that provides real video editing features? Surely there must be some way of doing this in code.

If MltMelt does what you're after, the code is available for that (https://github.com/mltframework/mlt). You could always just create a wrapper around its command line interface for php if you wanted to as well.
