In the world of video processing, looping a video to a specific duration is a common requirement. Whether you are developing an application that needs background loops or creating content for social media, FFMPEGAPI.net provides the best solution. Our hosted REST API simplifies video tasks without the need for complex server setups or FFmpeg infrastructure management. In this article, we will explore how to use the Endless Loop endpoint for looping videos effortlessly.
Understanding the Endless Loop Endpoint
The Endless Loop endpoint allows developers to loop a video until a specified target duration is reached. It is perfect for maintaining a consistent playback length for video content, especially when the original video is shorter than the desired output duration.
FFMPEGAPI.net's Endless Loop functionality supports optional watermark overlays, providing an extra layer of customization for your video projects.
- Repeats the input video until the target duration is achieved.
- Trims the final loop to fit the exact requested duration.
- Supports both JSON and form-data content types.
How to Use the Endless Loop Endpoint
To use the Endless Loop feature, you'll need to send a POST request to the /api/endless_loop endpoint. This endpoint requires two parameters: the video URL you want to loop and the target duration in seconds.
You can also include an optional watermark URL if you want to overlay an image on your video.
- Endpoint: POST /api/endless_loop
- Required Parameters:
- - video_url: The URL of the video to loop.
- - duration: The desired output duration in seconds.
- Optional Parameter:
- - watermark_url: URL of the watermark image.
