June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

Video editing can be a labor-intensive task, but with FFMPEGAPI.net, you can automate many aspects of it with ease. One common requirement in video editing is looping a video. This article will guide you through how to use the Video Loop endpoint to efficiently handle video looping based on your needs.

What is the Video Loop API?

The Video Loop API at FFMPEGAPI.net allows developers to loop a video either by a specified count or until it matches an audio track. This is especially useful for creating engaging content without manual repetitive tasks. You can also add an optional watermark to your video, enhancing your branding with minimal effort.

  • Supports repeating a video a fixed number of times.
  • Can calculate loop count based on an audio track.
  • Optional watermark overlay for branding.
  • No server setup or FFmpeg management required.

Using the Video Loop Endpoint

To use the Video Loop API, you will need to send a POST request to the endpoint: /api/video_loop. Below are the parameters you need to include in your request.

  • video_url (string, required): The URL of the video you want to loop.
  • number_of_loops (integer, optional): The number of times you want the video to repeat.
  • audio_url (string, optional): An audio URL to match the video length if the number of loops is omitted.
  • watermark_url (string, optional): A URL for a watermark image to overlay on the video.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "number_of_loops": 3}'
import requests\n\nurl = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/video_loop'\ndata = {\n    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',\n    'number_of_loops': 3\n}\nresponse = requests.post(url, json=data)\nprint(response.json())
