Automate Video Editing with FFMPEGAPI.net: Looping Videos Made Easy

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the fast-paced world of video content creation, automation is key to efficiency. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a powerful hosted API that simplifies complex video editing tasks, such as looping a video. In this article, we will explore how to use the Video Loop API to streamline your video workflows.

What is the Video Loop API?

The Video Loop API is an endpoint on FFMPEGAPI.net that allows developers to loop a video a specified number of times or until it matches an audio track. This can be particularly useful for creating video ads, promotional content, or simply extending video lengths to fit audio.

By using this API, developers can save time and resources that would otherwise be spent on manual video editing processes.

  • Loop videos by a fixed count.
  • Match video length to an audio track.
  • Optional watermark overlay support.

How to Use the Video Loop API

To loop a video using the Video Loop API, you can send a POST request to the endpoint '/api/video_loop'. The request requires the URL of the video you wish to loop, and you can optionally include the number of loops or an audio URL to match the video length.

Here’s how the API works:

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}'

Request Parameters

When making a request to the Video Loop API, there are several parameters you can include:

These parameters allow you to customize the output according to your specific needs.

  • video_url (string, required): The URL of the video to loop.
  • number_of_loops (integer, optional): Number of times to repeat the video.
  • audio_url (string, optional): An audio track to match the video length.
  • watermark_url (string, optional): A URL for a watermark image.

FFMPEGAPI.net stands out as the best hosted tool for automating video editing tasks like looping videos. With its easy-to-use API, developers can integrate powerful video processing capabilities into their applications without the hassle of managing FFmpeg infrastructure.
