Class VideoAspectRatioCropBlock

Namespace
VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.VideoProcessing
Assembly
VisioForge.Core.dll

Video aspect ratio crop block for intelligent content-aware aspect ratio conversion. This block automatically crops video to match a target aspect ratio while preserving the most important visual content. Features intelligent cropping algorithms that detect and preserve key areas of interest, configurable crop positioning, and smooth transitions. Essential for format conversion between different display standards (16:9, 4:3, 21:9), social media format adaptation, and professional video production requiring automated aspect ratio adjustments without manual intervention. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.MediaBlock. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.IMediaBlockInternals. Implements the IDisposable.

Methods

Build()

Constructs and initializes the aspect ratio crop filter and its associated GStreamer elements. This method creates the filter with the specified settings, establishes input and output pads, and prepares the block for intelligent content-aware aspect ratio conversion.

public override bool Build()

Returns

bool

true if the filter was successfully built and configured; false if initialization failed.

CleanUp()

Releases all resources and performs cleanup operations for this aspect ratio crop block. This method disposes of the GStreamer elements and resets the build state.

public void CleanUp()

Dispose(bool)

Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources.

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

Parameters

disposing bool

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

GetCore()

Gets the core BaseElement wrapper that provides additional functionality around the GStreamer aspect ratio crop filter element.

public BaseElement GetCore()

Returns

BaseElement

The BaseElement wrapper instance that encapsulates the GStreamer aspect ratio crop filter.

GetElement()

Gets the underlying GStreamer element that performs the aspect ratio cropping.

public Element GetElement()

Returns

Element

The GStreamer Element instance representing the aspect ratio crop filter.

IsAvailable()

Determines whether this media block is available. Correct NuGet SDK redist should be included into your project.

public static bool IsAvailable()

Returns

bool

true if this media block is available; otherwise, false.

IMediaBlockInternals.SetContext(MediaBlocksPipeline)

Associates this aspect ratio crop block with a pipeline and initializes its internal context. This method is called internally when the block is added to a pipeline.

void IMediaBlockInternals.SetContext(MediaBlocksPipeline pipeline)

Parameters

pipeline MediaBlocksPipeline

The MediaBlocksPipeline instance that will manage this block.
