Ffmpeg and Pandoc and ImageMagick and Pdfimages Dropdown Linear Gradient Tutorial

There were two weakness with the logic in yesterday’s Ffmpeg and Pandoc and ImageMagick and Pdfimages Dropdown Hover Swipe Tutorial, we reckon, those being …

  1. it is hard to “hover swipe” with no linework to show where one option starts and another ends, in Y (or top) co-ordinates … and …
  2. the user has trouble knowing whether their swipe attempt worked

… for which we supply ideas …

  1. linear-gradient background, in the form of a colourful “underlay” div element under (now transparent backgrounded) select (ie. dropdown) element (and associated “overlay” div) … and …
  2. emoji for swipe left ⬅ (⬅) and for swipe right ➡ (➡) shown briefly

… featuring relevant code snippets …

Ffmpeg and Pandoc and ImageMagick and Pdfimages Dropdown Onhover Marquee Tutorial

The non-mobile platforms have that useful wooooorrrrllllddd, the “onhover wooooorrrrllllddd” (to be precise) that can be a great partner for Javascript Ajax methodologies. This onhover (actually the “onmouseover”) event is also useful whereby as a user hovers over an HTML element, and that element’s title attribute has a value, then the user can see that value displayed.

And though, with yesterday’s Ffmpeg and Pandoc and ImageMagick and Pdfimages Animated Emoji Tutorial work …

though we’re not going “full marquee Eat at Joes”

Proof positive that emojis are text, and can help provide a graphic display interest for a webpage. As well, as a CSS means by which we stop “dropdown Y jitteriness”, we introduce the use of an emoji ⚪ (&#9898; or &#x26aa;) for most option element Clayton innerText parts, always …

The “dropdown animations” introduced into yesterday’s Ffmpeg and Pandoc and ImageMagick and Pdfimages Animated Dropdown Tutorial were a tad subtle, it only involving …

  • the wording of option elements within the dropdown … and though we’re not going “full marquee Eat at Joes” we are accentuating “midway”, today, by …
  • adding emoji 🔵 (&#128309;) movement to the animation for interest sake, as well as being informative (in that the user can anticipate when the new innerText text will arrive, as the emoji moves from left to right)

… that we team with more instances of multiple animation settings …

Lemon curry?! Animated dropdown?! What gives? Well, it’s not “shelling peas”, yet!

Yes, there is another “framework” step forward we wanted to implement before the peas. And yes, no surprises there, the “framework” work relates to adding functionality to our main dropdown. We’re adding a layer of functionality we’re going to refer to as “animated dropdown”. It amounts to …

  • dropdown (ie. select element) … for non-mobile …
  • has size attribute equal to the number of option elements it contains
  • logic wise, because our non-nothing option innerTexts have equalled option values (if you Javascript trim() the option innerText, that is), we have the opportunity to start taking more notice of the …

Yesterday’s Ffmpeg Rotate Video Tutorial left you with …

We now present those four in “an expanded out” (at least on non-mobile) dropdown HTML element. Maybe you can guess why?

… and today we are deploying the framework parts and two new media manipulation options regarding PDF that add to our PHP web application’s functionality.

Operating system commands can be thought of to start with …

  • an action item (to be precise a desktop software file specification) … and, what we often think is, like …
  • the command’s “verb” part (as funny as that is to think of a “noun” sounding desktop software file specification being like a “verb”) … verbs being action items in a sentence … down to being essential in any sentence … to the point a “verb” can be the whole sentence

We want to add functionality by adding to our first “verb” …

  • ffmpeg … two more media manipulation “verb” stars today …
  • ImageMagick (can help us with new “Images to PDF” option)
  • pdfimages (can help us with new “PDF to Images” option)

  • software paths
  • presenting two new “verb” ideas … and us being so fond of dropdowns, we decided to try, for our first time …
    1. start to use three HTML option CSS text-align style choices being left (for ffmpeg), center (for ImageMagick) and right (for pdfimages) … as in …

It’s getting closer to “shelling peas”, are today’s “Rotate a video via ffmpeg” changes, but we are not there yet. Yes, most programmers want to be “shelling peas” adding functionality to web applications, once they have set up a framework in which they are happy to work. Yesterday’s Ffmpeg Concat Demuxer Tutorial “defence talk” is getting us closer to that “shelling peas” “homeostasis feel” (with an “Intranet” pike, no doubt?!) as you can see from a Javascript “Rotate a video” code snippet below …

document.getElementById('secondi').innerHTML='';


document.getElementById('sswitches').innerHTML='<span id=notranspose contenteditable=false>-vf \"transpose=</span><span id=transpose contenteditable=true>1</span><span id=nottranspose contenteditable=false>\" </span>';

document.getElementById('sswitches').oncontextmenu=function(event) { alert(event.target.title); };

document.getElementById('mysub').value=newv;

<?php

$rotateadvice="Rotate a video

Rotate 90 clockwise:

ffmpeg -i in.mov -vf \"transpose=1\" out.mov
For the transpose parameter you can pass:

0 = 90CounterCLockwise and Vertical Flip (default)

2 = 90CounterClockwise
3 = 90Clockwise and Vertical Flip

Use -vf \"transpose=2,transpose=2\" for 180 degrees.";

    Burn subtitles
    Use the libass library (make sure your ffmpeg install has the library in the configuration –enable-libass).

And so, onto yesterday’s Ffmpeg Improved Windows Media Browsing Tutorial feel free to see this in the changed voiceover.php PHP (we’d want you to download to a local MAMP Apache web server’s Document Root folder and which you can run that PHP there).

Yesterday’s Ffmpeg Mux Video and Audio Windows Media Browsing Tutorial taught us a lesson, as a side issue, that what we said when we presented Animated GIF Creation on Windows MAMP via PDF Tutorial

No matter how we tried, we could not get a Windows command line command like …


forfiles /P "[PathToFileBestGuess]" /S /M "[FileBaseName]" /C "cmd /c echo @path@fsize" | find "[FileSizeInBytes]"

… to work out a file path when supplied a file base name and a file size and you call as above with starting folders. That works well (for deriverability (if that is a word!)) in the “cmd” window but not when called under the auspices of PHP exec or shell_exec. It could be that you lose a lot of a Windows user environment when asking PHP to do some operating system work.

… was “only partially” the story. We found out that that ” | find ” command piping could cause problems on Windows MAMP using shell_exec or exec to do some operating system functionality. But before your enthusiasm oozes over the edges, Windows “forfiles” is still very hard to get working with PHP shell_exec or exec, even using PHP to perform that ” | find ” filtering of results.

However, on revisiting the issue in the changed voiceover.php PHP (we’d want you to download to a local MAMP Apache web server’s Document Root folder and which you can run that PHP there) there were dual purpose motivations going on, for us, because our changed animated GIF creator PHP tutorial_to_animated_gif.php (that if you download to MAMP would best go to Document Root PHP/animegif folder along with the wonderful GIFEncoder.class.php … thanks) inhouse animated GIF creator web application and the changed PDF parts to animated GIF creation helper php_calls_pdfimages.php (also a standalone proposition) PHP code could be fixed up at the same time, with a new PHP ourshell_exec function interventional code snippet up at the top …

<?php

function ourshell_exec($onea, $twoa = NULL, $threea = NULL) {
$folder='';
$pattern='';
$size='';
$filesa=[];
if (PHP_OS =='WINNT' || PHP_OS =='WIN32' || PHP_OS =='Windows' || (strpos(('~@!' . $onea), '~@!forfiles /P "') !== false && strpos(('~@!' . $onea), '/M "') !== false && strpos(('~@!' . $onea), 'find "') !== false)) {
$folder=explode('"', explode('forfiles /P "', $onea)[1])[0]; // . substr(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, 0, 1);
if (7 == 7) {
$folder=explode('"', explode('forfiles /P "', $onea)[1])[0]; // . substr(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, 0, 1);
$pattern=explode('"', explode('/M "', $onea)[1])[0];
$size=explode('"', explode('find "', $onea)[1])[0];
$thiscmd=trim(explode(" | find ", $onea)[0]);
if (strpos($pattern, ' ') === false) { $thiscmd=str_replace('/M "' . $pattern . '"', '/M ' . $pattern, $thiscmd); }
if (strpos($folder, ' ') === false) { $thiscmd=str_replace('/P "' . $folder . '"', '/P ' . $folder, $thiscmd); }
if (strpos($thiscmd, '"cmd /c ') !== false && substr($thiscmd,-1,1) != '"') { $thiscmd.='"'; }
if (strpos($thiscmd, "/P C:\\ ") !== false) {
if (strpos($thiscmd, "/P C:\\ ") !== false) {
if (strpos($pattern, " ") === false) {
$thiscmd="DIR C:\\" . $pattern . " /S /-C";
} else {
$thiscmd="DIR \"C:\\" . $pattern . "\" /S /-C";
}
}
}
//file_put_contents('xxx.xxx',file_get_contents('xxx.xxx'). "\n" . '' . $size . ' ' . $thiscmd);
$nofind=shell_exec($thiscmd . ' 2> nul');

//file_put_contents('xxxx.xxxx',file_get_contents('xxxx.xxxx'). "\n" . '' . $size . ' ' . $nofind);
//exit;
$findings=explode("\n", $nofind);
$bitbefore='';
for ($ifindgs=0; $ifindgs<sizeof($findings); $ifindgs++) {
if (strpos(str_replace("\r","",$findings[$ifindgs]), 'Directory of ') !== false) {
$bitbefore=explode('Directory of ', str_replace("\r","",$findings[$ifindgs]))[1] . "\\";
}
if (strpos((str_replace("\r","",$findings[$ifindgs]) . '~'), $size . '~') !== false) {
return str_replace('~','',str_replace($size . '~', '', (str_replace("\r","",$findings[$ifindgs]) . '~')));
} else if (strpos((str_replace("\r","",$findings[$ifindgs]) . ''), $size . ' ') !== false) {
//file_put_contents('xxxxx.xxxxx',$bitbefore . explode($size . ' ', (str_replace("\r","",$findings[$ifindgs]) . ''))[1]);
return $bitbefore . explode($size . ' ', (str_replace("\r","",$findings[$ifindgs]) . ''))[1];
}
}
if ($folder == "C:\\") { return ''; }
}

// more code
// as per usual
// stays here ...
}
return shell_exec($onea, $twoa, $threea);
}

?>

… where we substitute in Windows DIR C:\ /S /-C thinking in place of forfiles (via shell_exec minus the ” | find ” piping, that is).

You know it’s “Intranet feely land”?

You look out the train window (tee hee) and see macOS racing through their usual routine.

Of course you’ll pick the buffet car containing the rice bubbles ahead of the vegemite corn flakes?!

But do we need to reiterate that in “Intranet feely land” you’ve got your macOS typose of work not suiting “arch Windows” methodologies? Take the case of …

At least, with macOS MAMP there is the excellent command line “file” we can use to show information about some potential input files you could use in this, so far, user unfriendly, “first draft” version of the PHP.

… to the beach, would be nice … but we digress. Well, in any case, we asked Google (not via the “arch Window”) does windows have the equivalent of linux file command” and got to the helpful What is the equivalent to the Linux File command for windows? – Super User, thanks, and then ended up at the really useful third party “file.exe” for (non-arch) Windows usage and proceeded with it, working off Ffmpeg Mux Video and Audio Media Browsing Tutorial, to start being able to develop this “reveal” details/summary arrangement in either macOS or Windows MAMP environments, that “ffmpeg” voiceover command, which normally works a lot better than …

I command thee mux, hey you, with audible you, over yonder, by dale and meadow be, yea!

… when it occurred to us we could turn the base filename parts of those “file.exe” reports into links that when clicked mapped those clicked files into place into the “ffmpeg” command being developed above (as alternative input file designator idea to browsing or div contenteditable=true typing ways), in the changed voiceover.php PHP (we’d want you to download to a local MAMP Apache web server’s Document Root folder) and which you can run that PHP there.

And so, we reckon the work day got worth it!

… reign supreme collecting their media file specification information in the changed voiceover.php PHP (we’d want you to download to a local MAMP Apache web server’s Document Root folder) and which you can run that PHP there.

The previous work of Animated GIF Creation Install Paths Tutorial‘s thread of blog postings has been a great help with this ffmpeg “Intranet feeling” integration work we use, around here, in conjunction with macOS or Windows operating system MAMP Apache local web server environments.

We’ve got another “Intranet feeling” PHP web application “first draft” for you today. The reason we’re opting for “Intranet feeling” (ie. we’re asking you to download the voiceover.php PHP to a local MAMP Apache web server and run the PHP there from its Document Root folder) is that we want to further explore the brilliant …


ffmpeg -i inv.mp4 -i inva.mp4 -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -shortest out.mp4

… we got inspired to try via Mux Video and Audio from another Video and FFMPEG mux video and audio (from another video) – mapping issue … thanks and thanks … to add audio to a video stream from two different sources.

At least, with macOS MAMP there is the excellent command line “file” we can use to show information about some potential input files you could use in this, so far, user unfriendly, “first draft” version of the PHP.
