Issue
Is there any way to cut a video (mp4 or 3gp) on android, like use only the last 5 seconds of the movie... on iphone this is possible using the AVAssetExportSession but on android I haven't found anything similar, just maybe some references to ffmpeg library which seems complicated. Is there any easier way to do it?
Solution
You can do this with my mp4parser library. Have a look at the ShortenExample it does exactly what the name suggests. Since the library cannot re-encode the video it can only cut the video at I-frames. So the points in time where you can make a cut are quite coarse.
On Android 4.1 you can access the hardware codecs via MediaCodec API which could be an option (but I haven't seen any example of that yet)
