Heksler is a simple video slicer designed for speed. After setting in- and out-points, heckler transcodes and exports the slice. Heksler also has a cut detection or shot transition feature.
You need ffmpeg on your system. Grab a copy here: http://ffmpegmac.net
Heksler runs on osx. The source is built with openFrameworks and uses ffmpeg to transcode the video, so it would be easy to port it to other operating systems.
Please refer to the openFrameworks Documentation on how to compile a openFrameworks on OSX. This repository is organized with submodules. In order to check it out, you have to do the following steps:
- Check out the main repository: $ git clone https://github.com/urshofer/heksler heksler
- Change into the checked out directory: $ cd heksler
- Load all submodules: $ git submodule update --init --recursive
The xCode Project is in the directory openframeworks/apps/myApps/heksler_osx
After the compilation, the xCode Project has a Copy Files build phase, where it tries to bundle your local ffmpeg installation with the newly built application. By default, xCode looks for ffmpeg in /usr/local/bin. You can change the path if you have ffmpeg installed locally or in a different place.
