Creating engaging multimedia content requires the ability to seamlessly combine images and audio. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful hosted REST API that allows developers to easily merge images and audio into professional-looking MP4 videos without the need for server setup or management. In this article, we'll explore how to use the 'Image and Audio Merge' endpoint to streamline your video production workflow.

Understanding the Image and Audio Merge Endpoint

The 'Image and Audio Merge' endpoint at FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to combine multiple image/audio pairs into a single MP4 video. This capability is perfect for building SaaS applications, automating content pipelines, or enhancing AI-driven services.

By utilizing this endpoint, you can specify images and their corresponding audio files, control transitions, and even apply zoom effects to create visually appealing videos.

  • Endpoint: POST /api/merge_image_audio
  • Content-Type: application/json or multipart/form-data
  • Supports multiple image/audio pairs with optional transitions

How to Make a Request to the API

When making a request to the '/api/merge_image_audio' endpoint, you can use either JSON or multipart/form-data. For JSON requests, you need to provide arrays of image URLs and audio URLs. Here's a breakdown of the parameters you need:

- **image_urls**: An array of image URLs to be displayed.

- **audio_urls**: An array of audio URLs corresponding to each image.

- **transition_effect**: Optional effects for transitioning between images.

- **zoom_effect**: Control whether a slow zoom is applied to images.

  • All image/audio pairs must have the same count.
  • Supports backward-compatible single image/audio inputs.
  • Asynchronous processing available for larger jobs.
