In the world of video processing, the ability to overlay one video on another can significantly enhance the viewer's experience. Picture-in-Picture (PiP) is a popular technique used in various applications, from video conferencing to tutorial videos. With FFMPEGAPI.net, developers can easily implement this feature through our hosted REST API, eliminating the need for extensive server management while providing powerful video processing capabilities.
What is Picture-in-Picture?
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) allows users to view a secondary video overlaid on a primary video. This technique is widely used in applications where tutorials, commentary, or additional context is needed without interrupting the main content.
Using FFMPEGAPI.net, developers can create PiP videos with just a few API calls, simplifying the video production process significantly.
- Ideal for tutorial videos.
- Enhances engagement in live streams.

FFMPEGAPI.net provides a dedicated endpoint for creating Picture-in-Picture compositions. The endpoint is designed to accept various parameters that allow you to customize the overlay video according to your needs.
The endpoint utilizes a POST method at the path `/api/picture_in_picture`, enabling you to specify the main video, overlay video, position, scale, and audio options.
- Main video URL: Required.
- Overlay video URL: Required.
- Position: Optional (default is bottom-right).
- Scale: Optional (default is iw/4:ih/4).
