Can FMIS create one video out of many videos on a playlist?

Hello All,

As stated above, I wanted to know if I can take a video playlist, say with 4 clips, and have FMIS create a separate file out of the 4 individual clips. Specifically, a user selects 4 (or any number) of clips to create their playlist, then at the end, a 'full length' file is created. If this isn't clear, let me know and I'll try to elaborate.

Many thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

wordman

    Sort of. what you can do is create a new server side stream, play the clips over the server side stream, and record the server side stream. Something like:

    var s = Stream.get("foo");

    s.record();

    s.play("file1", 0, -1, true);

    s.play("file2", 0, -1, false);

    s.play("file3", 0, -1, false);

    Keep in mind that the record process is 1:1, so the file won't be ready until all of the clips have played.

    Jay,

    Again, thank you for the help! This is just what I needed to know. Likely I'll be back to ask more detailed questions.
