Using the Picture-in-Picture Endpoint
To create a Picture-in-Picture video composition, you'll use the POST method at the endpoint: `/api/picture_in_picture`. This endpoint allows you to overlay one video on another with configurable parameters including position, scale, and audio options.
Here’s a brief overview of the required parameters:
- main_video_url: URL of the main/background video (required)
- pip_video_url: URL of the overlay/PiP video (required)
- position: Overlay position (default is bottom-right)
- scale: FFmpeg scale expression (default is iw/4:ih/4)
- audio_option: Audio source (default is video1)
- async: Process the task in the background if true
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/picture_in_picture \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{ "main_video_url": "https://example.com/main.mp4", "pip_video_url": "https://example.com/overlay.mp4", "position": "top-right" }'import requests\n\nurl = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/picture_in_picture'\ndata = {\n 'main_video_url': 'https://example.com/main.mp4',\n 'pip_video_url': 'https://example.com/overlay.mp4',\n 'position': 'top-right'\n}\n\nresponse = requests.post(url, json=data)\nprint(response.json())Integrating Picture-in-Picture functionality into your application has never been easier with FFMPEGAPI.net.
