Create videos programmatically?

Is there a way to create videos programmatically in Rails?

Are any of these two options possible:

  1. Create a movie based on supplied images and soundtrack?

  2. Modify an iMovie project in Ruby/Rails somehow? If I have a project already created with transitions, etc. Is there a way I can put in images in placeholder places in the movie?

Solution

  • I'm guessing what you're looking for will be built in Ruby, and probably not use any of Rails.

    The only way that I know how to do this is to create a SWF using Ming.

    There's a pretty good example on how to use it here
