## Detailed Description

The QVideoSink class can be used to retrieve video data on a frame by frame basis from Qt Multimedia.

QVideoSink will provide individual video frames to the application developer through the videoFrameChanged() signal.

The video frame can then be used to read out the data of those frames and handle them further. When using QPainter, the QVideoFrame can be drawing using the paint() method in QVideoSink.

QVideoFrame objects can consume a significant amount of memory or system resources and should thus not be held for longer than required by the application.

See also QMediaPlayer and QMediaCaptureSession.

## Property Documentation

### subtitleText : QString

Returns the current subtitle text.

Access functions:

QString | subtitleText() const
void | setSubtitleText(const QString &subtitle)

Notifier signal:

void | subtitleTextChanged(const QString &subtitleText) const

### `[read-only]` videoSize : const QSize

Returns the size of the video currently being played back. If no video is being played, this method returns an invalid size.

Access functions:

QSize | videoSize() const

Notifier signal:

void | videoSizeChanged()
