[API Nodes] Support Loading Workflow From Mp4

by ADMIN 46 views

Introduction

In the realm of video editing and processing, the ability to load workflows from MP4 files is a crucial feature. This functionality enables users to easily import and utilize pre-existing workflows, saving time and effort in the creative process. In this article, we will delve into the implementation of API nodes that support loading workflows from MP4 files, focusing on the development of a isobmff.ts module.

Background

The video output nodes in our system will have embedded workflows and prompts, making it essential to parse MP4 files that are dragged onto the graph. To achieve this, we will draw inspiration from recent implementations involving GLTF and EBML. Specifically, we will reference the following pull requests:

Implementation

To support loading workflows from MP4 files, we will create a new module called isobmff.ts in the src/scripts/metadata directory of our repository. This module will be responsible for parsing the MP4 file and extracting the embedded workflow.

isobmff.ts Module

The isobmff.ts module will utilize the isobmff library to parse the MP4 file. This library provides a comprehensive set of tools for working with ISO BMFF (ISO Base Media File Format) files, which is the format used by MP4 files.

// isobmff.ts
import { parse } from 'isobmff';

interface Workflow {
  // Define the workflow interface
}

export function loadWorkflowFromMp4(mp4File: File): Workflow {
  // Parse the MP4 file using the isobmff library
  const boxTree = parse(mp4File);

  // Extract the embedded workflow from the box tree
  const workflow = extractWorkflow(boxTree);

  return workflow;
}

function extractWorkflow(boxTree: any): Workflow {
  // Implement the logic to extract the workflow from the box tree
  // This may involve traversing the box tree and extracting relevant metadata
  return {};
}

Workflow Extraction

The extractWorkflow function will be responsible for extracting the embedded workflow from the box tree. This may involve traversing the box tree and extracting relevant metadata, such as the workflow's name, description, and prompts.

function extractWorkflow(boxTree: any): Workflow {
  // Traverse the box tree to find the workflow metadata
  const workflowBox = findWorkflowBox(boxTree);

  if (workflowBox) {
    // Extract the workflow metadata from the box
    const workflow = {
      name: workflowBox.name,
      description: workflowBox.description,
      prompts: workflowBox.prompts,
    };

    return workflow;
  }

  return {};
}

function findWorkflowBox(boxTree: any): any {
  // Implement the logic to find the workflow box in the box tree  // This may involve traversing the box tree and checking for specific box types
  return null;
}

Integration with API Nodes

Once the isobmff.ts module is implemented, we will need to integrate it with the API nodes that support loading workflows from MP4 files. This may involve creating a new API endpoint that accepts an MP4 file as input and returns the extracted workflow.

// api.ts
import { loadWorkflowFromMp4 } from './isobmff';

export async function loadWorkflowFromMp4Api(mp4File: File): Promise<Workflow> {
  const workflow = await loadWorkflowFromMp4(mp4File);
  return workflow;
}

Conclusion

In this article, we have implemented a isobmff.ts module that supports loading workflows from MP4 files. This module utilizes the isobmff library to parse the MP4 file and extract the embedded workflow. We have also integrated the isobmff.ts module with the API nodes that support loading workflows from MP4 files. With this implementation, users can easily import and utilize pre-existing workflows, saving time and effort in the creative process.

Future Work

In the future, we plan to extend the isobmff.ts module to support additional file formats, such as AVI and MOV. We also plan to improve the workflow extraction logic to support more complex workflows and prompts.
