June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

Looping a video can be essential for various applications, from background animations to creating engaging presentations. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a powerful, hosted REST API solution to streamline this video processing task. In this article, we'll explore how to use the Video Loop endpoint to easily loop videos with or without audio tracks.

What is the Video Loop Endpoint?

The Video Loop endpoint allows developers to repeat a video multiple times or adjust the video duration to match a specific audio track. This capability is incredibly useful in media applications where synchronization is crucial.

With FFMPEGAPI.net, you can handle the complexities of video processing without managing your own FFmpeg infrastructure.

  • Loop a video a specified number of times.
  • Calculate the necessary loop count to match an audio track.
  • Support for optional watermark overlays.

How to Use the Video Loop Endpoint

To use the Video Loop feature, you will send a POST request to the /api/video_loop endpoint with the required parameters.

  • video_url: The URL of the video you want to loop (required).
  • number_of_loops: The number of times to repeat the video (optional).
  • audio_url: An audio URL for matching the video loop (required if number_of_loops is omitted).
  • watermark_url: An optional URL for a watermark image.
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 \ 
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
-d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "number_of_loops": 3}'
