June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of video production, looping videos is a common requirement, whether for marketing, content creation, or other purposes. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a powerful yet easy-to-use hosted API for programmatic video editing, making it the perfect solution for developers looking to streamline their workflows without the hassle of managing servers or FFmpeg infrastructure.

What is the Video Loop API?

The Video Loop API at FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to loop a video either a specified number of times or until it matches the duration of an audio track. This functionality is crucial for many applications, including creating promotional videos, social media content, or extending video lengths to sync with background music.

  • Loop a video a fixed number of times.
  • Calculate the number of loops required to match an audio track.
  • Support for watermark overlays to brand your content.

How to Use the Video Loop API

Using the Video Loop API is straightforward. Developers can send a POST request to the endpoint /api/video_loop. The API accepts a video URL and has optional parameters for the number of loops and an audio URL to match. Additionally, you can overlay a watermark on the video by providing a watermark URL.

  • Required parameters: video_url.
  • Optional parameters: number_of_loops, audio_url, watermark_url.
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())
