Libraries / tutorials for manipulating video in java

Question

I need to do some simple video editing within a Java application, but the frameworks I've found (JMF and FMJ) appear to be quite stale, and thus far I haven't found any evidence that either can actually edit video. The type of operations I need are: cropping, redacting sections, and extracting clips.

I've never worked with video in any real capacity before, so I may just be misunderstanding what FMJ/JMF do, but I am still concerned by the age of the most recent releases of those tools.

What do people use to do this sort of thing? What keywords should I be using to get more relevant results?

(The specific format of video is not particularly important to me -- anything common is just fine.)

Answer 1

You may take a look on Xuggler. Also some alternatives to JMF were covered in Wikipedia.

Answer 2

GStreamer has some Java bindings.
