I want to allow visitors to pick one of animations, change it a little, and download it as mp4. I want it to happen server-side so the quality and resolution is on me, and not depended their devices

Well as title say.

I looked into headless Chrome, ffmpeg, Pupeteer, but Im now kinda lost and wondering if anyone else had similar need and found the right solution?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi,

 

I worked in a similar project a few years ago and the project used headless chrome because it was easier to integrate and use WebGL (PIXIJS) and the results were very good. Unfortunately I worked only on frontend stuff so I have no idea how exactly the backend was working. What I do remember that until my last day everything was working on the cloud and the videos were rendered frame-by-frame on the servers (AWS). What was used to put them together I couldn't tell you but my first guess would be ffmpeg as you mention. What I do remember is that this was a demanding process and required quite a bit of horse-power to get it done.

 

Sorry I can't be of more assistance about this particular subject. Maybe other users can chime in with their experience on the subject.

 

Happy Tweening!

Thanks Rodrigo. It seems like only few people needed similar solution so it's very hard to find more info on it.

It may be worth looking into how Chris does it with his tool, maybe there's something that can be extrapolated for server side?
