Applying Effects on Video being Played

Question

I am new to the world of Open Gl and I have googled a lot but i am unable to find a way to implement Effects on a video being played. After some research i have finally found a class that can be used to play video on a GLSurfaceView. And i know from Google documentation and that we can apply effects on a video.

By following this post i was able to successfully apply effects on bitmaps. Now i want to do that for my video so any help or pointers is appreciated.

Here is the VideoSurfaceView that i am using to Render Video that is being played

Solution

I have solved the issue and i am posting the answer in case anyone else is also looking for a way to apply different Filters on their video.

After being pointed out in the right direction by Lunero and Fadden i am now able to apply almost all EffectFactory effects to the video being played. Though these effects are only meant for preview purpose and do not change the original video but still they do the job for me.

What i did was that I changed the FragmentShaders code that was applied to the video being rendered and i was able to achieve different effects.

Here is the code for some fragmentShaders.

Black and White Effect

String fragmentShader = "#extension GL_OES_EGL_image_external : require\n"
                + "precision mediump float;\n"
                + "varying vec2 vTextureCoord;\n"
                + "uniform samplerExternalOES sTexture;\n" 
                + "void main() {\n"
                + "  vec4 color = texture2D(sTexture, vTextureCoord);\n"
                + "  float colorR = (color.r + color.g + color.b) / 3.0;\n"
                + "  float colorG = (color.r + color.g + color.b) / 3.0;\n"
                + "  float colorB = (color.r + color.g + color.b) / 3.0;\n"
                + "  gl_FragColor = vec4(colorR, colorG, colorB, color.a);\n"
                + "}\n";

Negative Effect

String fragmentShader = "#extension GL_OES_EGL_image_external : require\n"
                + "precision mediump float;\n"
                + "varying vec2 vTextureCoord;\n"
                + "uniform samplerExternalOES sTexture;\n"
                + "void main() {\n"
                + "  vec4 color = texture2D(sTexture, vTextureCoord);\n"
                + "  float colorR = (1.0 - color.r) / 1.0;\n"
                + "  float colorG = (1.0 - color.g) / 1.0;\n"
                + "  float colorB = (1.0 - color.b) / 1.0;\n"
                + "  gl_FragColor = vec4(colorR, colorG, colorB, color.a);\n"
                + "}\n";

Original Video without any Effect

Video with Black and White Effect

Video with Negative Effect

If you like to apply more effects then i suggest you look at VidEffects on github. It will help you apply many different effects on your video.

[Lunero]

I think you have to modify the fragment shader to achieve effects on the video. Try adding some value in this line " gl_FragColor = texture2D(sTexture, vTextureCoord) + <add some float>;\n" To understand the whole thing you need some understanding of Fragment and Vertex shaders.

[fadden]

The documentation for Effect shows it being applied to a GLES texture. You would need to send the video output to a SurfaceTexture, execute the Effect on that texture, and then render the texture for display. You could, for example, take the "texture from Camera" activity from Grafika and add the Effect to draw(). github.com/google/grafika/blob/master/src/com/android/grafik‌​a/…

Thanks. Any idea on how your code might be altered to apply multiple shaders in succession?
