June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of digital media, looping videos can be a crucial feature for various applications, from content creation to entertainment. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a powerful hosted REST API that simplifies the process of looping videos, making it an ideal choice for developers looking to integrate this functionality into their SaaS applications without the hassle of server setup or FFmpeg infrastructure management.

What is the Video Loop Endpoint?

The Video Loop endpoint of FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to loop a video either a specified number of times or until it matches the length of an audio track. This flexibility is particularly useful in numerous scenarios where audio-video synchronization is necessary.

  • Supports looping by count or matching an audio track.
  • Optional watermark overlay for branding purposes.
  • Easy integration with your existing applications.

How to Use the Video Loop Endpoint

To utilize the Video Loop feature, you can make a POST request to the endpoint /api/video_loop. The request requires a video URL, and optionally accepts the number of loops, an audio URL, and a watermark URL.

  • Method: POST
  • Path: /api/video_loop
  • Content Type: application/json or form data
curl -X POST https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"video_url":"https://example.com/clip.mp4", "number_of_loops":3}'
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())

Parameters for Video Looping

The following parameters can be passed in the request body to customize your video looping:

1. **video_url** (required): The URL of the video you want to loop.

2. **number_of_loops** (optional): A positive integer indicating how many times to repeat the video.

3. **audio_url** (optional): An audio URL, which should be provided if the number of loops is omitted.

4. **watermark_url** (optional): An optional URL for a watermark image to overlay on the video.
