Video Frames¶

This feature is only available on Android.

To add video frame support, import the extension library:

implementation("io.coil-kt.coil3:coil-video:3.0.3")

And add the decoder to your component registry when constructing your ImageLoader:

val imageLoader = ImageLoader.Builder(context)
    .components {
        add(VideoFrameDecoder.Factory())
    }
    .build()

To specify the time of the frame to extract from a video, use videoFrameMillis or videoFrameMicros:

imageView.load("/path/to/video.mp4") {
    videoFrameMillis(1000)  // extracts the frame at 1 second of the video
}

For specifying the exact frame number, use videoFrameIndex (requires API level 28):

imageView.load("/path/to/video.mp4") {
    videoFrameIndex(1234)  // extracts the 1234th frame of the video
}

To select a video frame based on a percentage of the video's total duration, use videoFramePercent:

imageView.load("/path/to/video.mp4") {
    videoFramePercent(0.5)  // extracts the frame in the middle of the video's duration
}

If no frame position is specified, the first frame of the video will be decoded.

The ImageLoader will automatically detect any videos and extract their frames if the request's filename/URI ends with a valid video extension. If it does not, you can set the Decoder explicitly for the request:

imageView.load("/path/to/video") {
    decoderFactory { result, options, _ -> VideoFrameDecoder(result.source, options) }
}
