In the world of video production, adding subtitles is an essential task that can enhance accessibility and user engagement. However, the traditional methods of video editing can be cumbersome and require complex infrastructure. This is where FFMPEGAPI.net shines. With its hosted REST API, developers can programmatically add subtitles to videos without the hassle of managing servers or FFmpeg installation. In this article, we will explore how to use the 'Add Subtitles' endpoint to streamline your video editing workflow.
What is the Add Subtitles Endpoint?
The Add Subtitles endpoint allows developers to burn ASS/SSA subtitles into a video effortlessly. By simply sending a POST request with the video and subtitle URLs, the API handles the downloading and processing for you.
- Burn ASS subtitles directly into your video.
- No need for local FFmpeg setup or maintenance.
- Ideal for automation and content delivery pipelines.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/add_subtitles \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{ "video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4", "subtitle_url": "https://example.com/subtitles.ass" }'Parameters for Using the Add Subtitles Endpoint
To successfully use the Add Subtitles endpoint, you need to provide several parameters in your request. Here are the required and optional parameters:
The 'video_url' is the link to your video, and the 'subtitle_url' is the link to your subtitle file. Optionally, you can set the 'async' parameter to true if you prefer the process to run in the background.
- video_url (string, required): The URL of the video you want to edit.
- subtitle_url (string, required): The URL of the ASS/SSA subtitle file to be burned into the video.
- async (boolean, optional): If set to true, the API returns a job_id immediately.
