# ff-analysis
Media-analysis primitives for Rust: scene, silence, black-frame and keyframe detection, histogram and waveform extraction, tempo (BPM) results, and video scopes.
`ff-analysis` reads decoded media and reports analytical data; it does not edit or transform it. It builds on [`ff-decode`](https://crates.io/crates/ff-decode) for frame access and drives its own FFmpeg filter graphs where needed. Errors are typed and carry human-readable context (`AnalysisError`), so a failure reads as an actionable message rather than a raw FFmpeg return code.
It is an independent crate: use it on its own, or combine it with the other `ff-*` crates to assemble whatever media application, or editing model, you need. The `ff-*` crates are purified, model-free primitives, so none imposes an editing model on you; [`avio`](https://github.com/itsakeyfut/avio) is one editing engine built on top of them. Each crate is versioned independently; see crates.io for current versions.
## Installation
```toml
[dependencies]
ff-analysis = "0.16"
```
FFmpeg 7.x or 8.x development libraries must be installed on your system.
## What it provides
| `SceneDetector` | Detect scene-cut timestamps |
| `SilenceDetector` | Detect silent ranges in the audio |
| `BlackFrameDetector` | Detect near-black frames |
| `KeyframeEnumerator` | List keyframe (I-frame) timestamps |
| `HistogramExtractor` | Per-frame luminance / RGB histograms |
| `WaveformAnalyzer` | Audio amplitude waveform samples |
| `ScopeAnalyzer` | Frame-level scopes: waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, histogram |
| `BpmResult` | Tempo-detection result type (detector planned) |
## Audio waveform
```rust
use ff_analysis::WaveformAnalyzer;
use std::time::Duration;
let samples = WaveformAnalyzer::new("clip.mp4")
.interval(Duration::from_millis(100))
.run()?;
```
## Video scopes
```rust
use ff_analysis::ScopeAnalyzer;
// `frame` is a decoded `ff_format::VideoFrame`.
let hist = ScopeAnalyzer::histogram(&frame);
let parade = ScopeAnalyzer::rgb_parade(&frame);
```
## Error Handling
| `AnalysisError::Failed` | A structural precondition failed (e.g. a zero interval, an unsupported format) |
| `AnalysisError::BpmDetectionFailed` | Tempo detection could not proceed (reserved for the planned detector) |
| `AnalysisError::Decode` | An error propagated from the underlying decoder |
`AnalysisError` implements `ff_format::MediaError`, so `err.is_recoverable()` / `err.is_fatal()` work uniformly with the other `ff-*` crates.
