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

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, automating video editing tasks can save developers and content creators a significant amount of time. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a powerful hosted REST API for FFmpeg-powered video and audio processing, allowing you to easily loop videos through a straightforward API endpoint. This article explores how to use the Video Loop feature to enhance your projects and streamline your workflow.

What is the Video Loop Endpoint?

The Video Loop endpoint enables users to loop a video a specific number of times or until it matches an audio track. This feature is particularly useful for developers who need to create engaging content that syncs perfectly with audio.

With this endpoint, you don't need to manage FFmpeg infrastructure or deal with server setups, making it an ideal solution for developers looking to implement video processing in their applications.

  • Loop videos either by count or by matching audio duration.
  • Support for optional watermark overlays.
  • Easy integration with existing applications via a RESTful API.

How to Implement Video Looping

To use the Video Loop endpoint, you need to send a POST request to /api/video_loop with the required parameters. Below are the key parameters you can use:

The primary required parameter is the 'video_url', specifying the video to be looped. You also have the option to define 'number_of_loops' to set how many times the video should repeat. Alternatively, if you want the video to loop until it matches an audio track, provide the 'audio_url'.

  • video_url: The URL of the video you want to loop (required).
  • number_of_loops: Positive integer for fixed loops (optional).
  • audio_url: Link to an audio file that will determine the loop count (optional, required if number_of_loops is omitted).
  • watermark_url: Optional URL for an overlay image.
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

url = 'https://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())
