Overview

This node interacts with the ClipMagic API to perform various media processing operations, specifically focusing here on the 'Trim Media' operation. It allows users to trim segments from video or audio files by specifying a media URL and trimming parameters such as start time, end time or duration, and supports trimming either a single segment or multiple segments. The node outputs the trimmed media in a specified format, optionally with a custom filename. This is useful for scenarios where users need to extract specific parts of media files for editing, sharing, or further processing.

Use Case Examples

  1. Extract a 10-second clip from a video starting at 00:01:00.
  2. Trim multiple segments from an audio file to create a highlights reel.
  3. Convert a trimmed video segment to GIF format for social media sharing.

Output

Binary

The node outputs the trimmed media file as binary data, including the file content and metadata such as filename and content type.

JSON

  • success - Indicates if the operation was successful.
  • operation - The operation performed, e.g., 'trim'.
  • filename - The filename of the output media file.
  • contentType - The MIME type of the output media file.

Dependencies

  • ClipMagic API

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the media URL is accessible and correctly formatted; inaccessible URLs will cause request failures.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the media file is large or the network is slow; adjust the timeout option accordingly.
  • Invalid time format for start, end, or duration parameters can cause errors; use HH:MM:SS or seconds format.
  • If the output format is not supported for the input media type, the API may return an error.
