Hola everyone! New to the forums here.
I have a question regarding a job I recently was given lead on...
Long story short, its a fairly large job at a very big scientific/medical company... involving quite a few different technologies... but the part I'm hung up on is creating a dynamically edited WMV (or AVI/MPG) file.
I need to give various users the ability to update an xml file (via a asp.net web interface I created)... but then I need to take this xml file and update a WMV/AVI/MPEG file with the text in the xml file.
It also goes into I need "effects" so to speak... as this is displayed on a 3 projector gigantic setup when doctors/schools/groups come to tour the facility...
I am limited with the software/hardware we are using.. so i HAVE to use WMV/AVI/MPEG... but I can't figure out the best way to do this...
My first way of thinking was, as I have very limited video experience, to find some sort of directshow library and do an overlay of text over a pre-created video... so create the effects, the flash, the "pizazz" in a video, and then I'd just type text over it & output (encode) the video.
Or... if creating a video in .net isn't that difficult, maybe I'd do it from scratch....
Again, I have no experience in video editing/encoding/etc, and a fair amount of googling later hasn't lead to the best results.
I'd even be okay with calling to an outside software package/library/etc... it just has to be automated as far as the user is concerned...
Any thoughts?
