FrameDropEffect

Kotlin |Java

@UnstableApi
class FrameDropEffect : GlEffect

Drops frames to lower average frame rate to around targetFrameRate.

Summary

Public functions
`java-static FrameDropEffect!`	`createDefaultFrameDropEffect(targetFrameRate: Float)` Creates a `FrameDropEffect` with the default frame dropping strategy.
`java-static FrameDropEffect!`	`createSimpleFrameDropEffect( expectedFrameRate: Float, targetFrameRate: Float )` Creates a `FrameDropEffect` that keeps every nth frame, where n is the `inputFrameRate` divided by the `targetFrameRate`.
`GlShaderProgram!`	`toGlShaderProgram(context: Context!, useHdr: Boolean)` Returns a `GlShaderProgram` that applies the effect.

Inherited functions

From androidx.media3.common.Effect

Long

getDurationAfterEffectApplied(durationUs: Long)

Returns the expected duration of the output stream when the effect is applied given a input durationUs.

From androidx.media3.effect.GlEffect

Boolean

isNoOp(inputWidth: Int, inputHeight: Int)

Returns whether a GlEffect applies no change at every timestamp.

Public functions

createDefaultFrameDropEffect

java-static fun createDefaultFrameDropEffect(targetFrameRate: Float): FrameDropEffect!

Creates a FrameDropEffect with the default frame dropping strategy.

The strategy used is to queue the current frame, x, with timestamp T_x if and only if one of the following is true:

x is the first frame,
(T_x - T_lastQueued) is closer to the target frame interval than (T_(x+1) - T_lastQueued)

Where T_lastQueued is the timestamp of the last queued frame and T_(x+1) is the timestamp of the next frame. The target frame interval is determined from targetFrameRate.

Parameters
`targetFrameRate: Float`	The number of frames per second the output video should roughly have.

createSimpleFrameDropEffect

java-static fun createSimpleFrameDropEffect(
    expectedFrameRate: Float,
    targetFrameRate: Float
): FrameDropEffect!

Creates a FrameDropEffect that keeps every nth frame, where n is the inputFrameRate divided by the targetFrameRate.

For example, if the input stream came in at 60fps and the targeted frame rate was 20fps, every 3rd frame would be kept. If n is not an integer, then we round to the nearest one.

Parameters
`expectedFrameRate: Float`	The number of frames per second in the input stream.
`targetFrameRate: Float`	The number of frames per second the output video should roughly have.

toGlShaderProgram

fun toGlShaderProgram(context: Context!, useHdr: Boolean): GlShaderProgram!

Returns a GlShaderProgram that applies the effect.

Parameters
`context: Context!`	A `Context`.
`useHdr: Boolean`	Whether input textures come from an HDR source. If `true`, colors will be in linear RGB BT.2020. If `false`, colors will be in linear RGB BT.709.

Throws
`androidx.media3.common.VideoFrameProcessingException`	If an error occurs while creating the .
