Video Editor with Electron and Chromecast Support

This project is a simple video editor built with Electron. It includes functionalities such as video playback, drawing sequences on a canvas, and casting to a Chromecast.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm (Node Package Manager)

1. Clone or download the repository:

   git clone https://your-repository-url.git
   cd electron_video_editor

2. Install dependencies:

   Install Electron and other necessary packages by running:

   npm install

To start the application locally, run:

npm start

This will launch the Electron app and open the video editor interface.

To create an executable version of the application for your operating system, follow these steps:

1. Install Electron Packager:

   If you haven't already installed electron-packager, you can do so by running:

   npm install electron-packager --save-dev

2. Package the application:

   Use Electron Packager to create an executable. For example, to create an executable for Windows, you can run:

   npx electron-packager . video-editor-electron --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --out=release-builds --overwrite

   This will generate an executable in the release-builds directory.

   For macOS or Linux, simply change the --platform option to darwin (for macOS) or linux:

   • For macOS:

     npx electron-packager . video-editor-electron --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --out=release-builds --overwrite

   • For Linux:

     npx electron-packager . video-editor-electron --platform=linux --arch=x64 --out=release-builds --overwrite

During development, you can use the following command to live-reload the app while you're making changes:

npm run dev

You can edit the source files inside the src/ folder. The main Electron process is defined in main.js, and the user interface is located in src/index.html, src/style.css, and src/renderer.js.

• Play video and visualize sequences on the canvas.
• Cast video to a Chromecast-compatible device using Google Cast SDK.
• Simple and extensible codebase using JavaScript/HTML/CSS.

Enjoy building your Electron-based video editor!
