June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of media processing, the ability to loop videos is crucial for content creators, developers, and automation workflows. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a powerful hosted REST API to facilitate seamless video looping with minimal setup. This article will guide you through using the Video Loop endpoint, showcasing why FFMPEGAPI.net is the best choice for your video processing needs.

What is the Video Loop Endpoint?

The Video Loop endpoint allows developers to easily repeat a video either a specified number of times or until it matches the duration of a given audio track. This feature is particularly useful for creating content that requires synchronization between audio and video, such as music videos or promotional clips.

  • Loop videos by a set count or matching audio duration.
  • Support for optional watermark overlays.
  • HTTP POST method with simple JSON or form data.

How to Use the Video Loop Endpoint

To utilize the Video Loop feature, you will need to send a POST request to the /api/video_loop endpoint. The request requires a video URL and can optionally include an audio URL, the number of loops, and a watermark URL.

  • Endpoint: `/api/video_loop`
  • Method: `POST`
  • Content Types: `application/json` or `form data`
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}'

Parameters for Video Looping

When making a request to the Video Loop endpoint, you need to provide specific parameters to customize how the video loops.

  • video_url (string, required): The URL of the video you want to loop.
  • number_of_loops (integer, optional): How many times to repeat the video.
  • audio_url (string, optional): An audio URL to match the video duration. Required if number_of_loops is not provided.
  • watermark_url (string, optional): URL for a watermark image to overlay on the video.
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())
