Render animation to mp4?

[Gareth Murfin]

Hi, 

Ive made a canvas app that includes some animation of a photograph, its all done using code and done in paint(). I would like to save the animation out for the purpose of sharing on facebook. Whats the easiest way to do this? Im assuming I should write each frame to an image, then construct an mp4 from the image, but is there any way to create videos like this in codenameone ?

Hi,

there is no builtin video encoding API in OS's. Camera internal code is self contained and not accessible by external logic.

Apps that generate videos use one of the following:

- Server side encoding

- Embed a library like ffmpeg

- Encode using a very simple format, there are some very simple codec formats you can use.
