What is the Video Loop Endpoint?

The Video Loop endpoint at FFMPEGAPI.net enables you to loop a video either a specified number of times or until it matches the length of an audio track. This functionality is crucial for various applications, from creating promotional content to enhancing user experience in video playback.

By utilizing our API, developers can bypass the need for server setup or FFmpeg infrastructure management, allowing for a more streamlined workflow.

  • Supports looping by count or audio length.
  • Optional watermark overlay feature.
  • No need for local FFmpeg installation.

How to Use the Video Loop Endpoint

To use the Video Loop endpoint, you need to make a POST request to the following path: /api/video_loop. You can provide either the number of loops or an audio URL to determine the loop count automatically.

The required parameters include the video URL and, depending on your choice of looping, either the number of loops or an audio URL.

  • video_url (string, required): URL of the video to loop.
  • number_of_loops (integer, optional): Number of times to repeat the video.
  • audio_url (string, optional): URL of the audio track to match.
  • watermark_url (string, optional): URL for a watermark overlay.
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',
    'number_of_loops': 3
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop \
