Usage

Adding several images over the other image

To add two images with different coordinates over the third image, you may use code like the following. The images are placed according to the coordinates you set in the code.

if let item = MediaItem(url: url) {
    let logoImage = UIImage(named: "rglogo")
            
    let firstElement = MediaElement(image: logoImage!)
    firstElement.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
            
    let secondElement = MediaElement(image: logoImage!)
    secondElement.frame = CGRect(x: 150, y: 150, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
                        
    item.add(elements: [firstElement, secondElement])
            
    let mediaProcessor = MediaProcessor()
    mediaProcessor.processElements(item: item) { [weak self] (result, error) in
    	// handle result            
    }
}

Adding an image and text over the image

The next script template will work in case if you need to render an image and text over the other image:

let item = MediaItem(image: image)
        
let logoImage = UIImage(named: "logo")
        
let firstElement = MediaElement(image: logoImage!)
firstElement.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
                
let testStr = "Test Attributed String"
let attributes = [ NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white, NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 35) ]
let attrStr = NSAttributedString(string: testStr, attributes: attributes)
        
let secondElement = MediaElement(text: attrStr)
secondElement.frame = CGRect(x: 300, y: 300, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
        
item.add(elements: [firstElement, secondElement])
        
let mediaProcessor = MediaProcessor()
mediaProcessor.processElements(item: item) { [weak self] (result, error) in
    self?.resultImageView.image = result.image
}

Adding an image and text over the video

To add an image and text over the video you may refer the following code extract:

if let item = MediaItem(url: url) {
	let logoImage = UIImage(named: "logo")
            
	let firstElement = MediaElement(image: logoImage!)
	firstElement.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
            
	let testStr = "Attributed Text"
	let attributes = [ NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white, NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 35) ]
	let attrStr = NSAttributedString(string: testStr, attributes: attributes)
            
	let secondElement = MediaElement(text: attrStr)
	secondElement.frame = CGRect(x: 300, y: 300, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
            
    item.add(elements: [firstElement, secondElement])
            
    let mediaProcessor = MediaProcessor()
    mediaProcessor.processElements(item: item) { [weak self] (result, error) in
        self?.videoPlayer.url = result.processedUrl
        self?.videoPlayer.playFromBeginning()
    }
}

Image processing by Metal

MediaWatermark provides five filters for images:

• Color filter
• Sepia
• Blur
• Sobel
• Threshold

To add filter over image:

let item = MediaItem(image: image)

let colorFilter = ColorFilter()
colorFilter.r = 1
colorFilter.g = 1
colorFilter.b = 0
        
item.applyFilter(mediaFilter: colorFilter)
        
let logoImage = UIImage(named: "logo")
        
let firstElement = MediaElement(image: logoImage!)
firstElement.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
        
let secondElement = MediaElement(image: logoImage!)
secondElement.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: logoImage!.size.width, height: logoImage!.size.height)
        
item.add(elements: [firstElement, secondElement])
        
let mediaProcessor = MediaProcessor()
mediaProcessor.processElements(item: item) { [weak self] (result, error) in
    self?.resultImageView.image = result.image
}

Please note that filters are currently used for image assets only.
