Convert Video To Apng/png?


Answer :

This sort of thing has been done before (with gif) using imagemagick. APNG is not an official file format - the PNG group doesn't support this extension. Even if you get this to work, you are likely going to have lingering issues. You should probably consider an animated gif, unless you have some reason you are forced to use png.



Checkout the page on Video Handling. Also take a look at Animation Basics and Optimization.



I appear to be able to convert avi to apng directly on linux, but it fails on windows. A work around on windows would be to convert the movie to a sequence of stills:



convert test.avi frame%04d.png


if you want to use ffmpeg, this will extract frames every 5 seconds:



ffmpeg -i test.avi -y -ss 5 -an -r 1/5 frame%03d.png


then making the animation by using the apng edit firefox plugin.



mng never gained much support, but APNG apparently has some support these days (FF/Chrome/Safari); more than WebP (Chrome/Opera). Be sure to check for browser support for the format to see if it's compatible with your use-case. (Note that APNG falls back to displaying the first frame like a non-animated PNG.)


FFmpeg can decode and encode animated png, as well as animated gif and webp. (No other FFmpeg output formats support a loop flag in the container, as far as I can tell, not even nut, mkv, or ogg.) Older versions of FFmpeg only supported apng as an output format (encode but not decode).



webp is the current animation-supporting image format that's trying to gain traction. With google behind it, there's a good chance. It can do lossy and lossless, and even lossy-image with lossless-transparency. It's based on the intra-frames of the VPx video codec, IIRC.


ffmpeg can create webp animations, but even ffplay can't play them back. vwebp (in the webp package) can.


ffmpeg -framerate 15 -i b93-'%d.png' -loop 128 containerloop.webp. (Or -i foo.mp4 or whatever).



The other option for putting repeating loops of images on the web is an HTML5 video tag with the loop attribute. Great for higher resolution, and live action (rather than computer graphics with a lot of areas all the same color). Don't use it all over the place instead of animated gifs, though. Web browsers aren't optimized for lots of small videos on pages.


You can make highly-compressed and/or low frame rate video to get high quality short loops in only a couple hundred kiB for live action, or only a few kiB for simpler stuff, using modern high-quality encoders like VP9 or x264. (Or maybe in a few years, x265, which is fantastic at very low bitrates for the resolution, i.e. very low bits per pixel.)

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
