VideoEdit ActiveX Control for Windows 10 - Full description
VideoEdit ActiveX Control is a media-editing component for Windows developers who want to add video and audio processing to their own business applications. It exposes editing and conversion functions through an ActiveX control, allowing projects built with compatible development environments to incorporate media workflows without building every operation from scratch. Supported environments include Visual Basic, Visual C++, Access, Delphi, Visual FoxPro and .NET languages that can use ActiveX components.
The control can combine multiple video or audio files into AVI or WMV output, including combinations of different source formats. Developers can also add still images and sound files to create a video, set the output frame rate for AVI files, and choose an available video compressor or WMV profile. Custom WMV profiles provide settings such as video dimensions, buffer size, frame rate, and variable bit rate encoding. These options are useful when an application needs to create files for particular playback or storage requirements.
Editing functions include transitions between clips or pictures and effects applied between media items. The control offers a range of built-in transitions and effects, with support for third-party transitions. It can resize output video to a chosen resolution and extract individual frames as image files or to in-memory objects such as a Picture Box or HBitmap. Previewing media before rendering helps developers incorporate a review step into their application workflow.
For conversion and extraction tasks, VideoEdit can convert supported media to AVI or WMV, extract video or audio tracks from formats including MPEG, WMV, AVI, MP3 and WMA, and export audio as a WAV file with selected channel count, sample rate and bit depth. AVI output can use uncompressed video or an available codec. VOB input is supported when a DVD decoder is installed. These capabilities suit desktop tools for media conversion, basic clip assembly, frame capture and audio extraction.
The control is trialware and includes sample code for several supported development environments. Its OCX file may be distributed royalty-free, which can simplify deployment of applications that incorporate the component. The stated operating-system support includes Windows XP through Windows 10; developers should check that their application's runtime and ActiveX dependencies are available on the target system. Some effects require Windows Movie Maker 2.1, and VOB processing requires a DVD decoder.
