Modules

Core

Contains basic components such as: controller, player, preview manager, snapshot manager

Dependencies

• klarity-decoder

  • FFmpeg

• klarity-sampler

  • PortAudio
  • Signalsmith Audio

Compose

Contains a Compose component for rendering video

Dependencies

• Core Module

Example

Contains a demo application

Dependencies

• Core Module
• Compose Module

To run demo application place the binaries appropriate to your platform into the example/bin folder and run the Application.

Components

• KlarityPlayer - contains the media player logic.
• SnapshotManager - allows to get frames (snapshots) with a specified timestamp once per session. Use case - previewing keyframes.
• PreviewManager - allows to get frames ( snapshots) with a specific timestamp during a continuous session. Use case - previewing the timeline.
• Renderer - Provides functionality for rendering background and foreground.

Usage

• Load binaries using the Klarity loader object

  Binaries must be located in the filesystem, however, they can be part of a jar - for this the binaries must be opened as temporary files whose path can be used by the loader.

• Use the necessary components
