Using the Image and Audio Merge Endpoint
The Image and Audio Merge endpoint allows you to create an MP4 video from image/audio pairs. This is particularly useful for applications where you want to show images synced with audio, such as presentations or video content creation.
With this endpoint, you can either send multiple image/audio pairs or a single image/audio pair. The API will manage the transitions and timing based on the audio duration.
- Endpoint Path: `/api/merge_image_audio`
- Method: POST
- Content type: `application/json or multipart/form-data`
import requests
url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/merge_image_audio'
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}
payload = {
"image_urls": [
"https://example.com/intro.jpg",
"https://example.com/chapter-1.jpg"
],
"audio_urls": [
"https://example.com/intro.mp3",
"https://example.com/chapter-1.mp3"
],
"transition_effect": "fade",
"transition_duration": 0.75,
"dimensions": "1280x720",
"zoom_effect": true,
"async": false
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
print(response.json())Parameters for the Merge Request
Here are the key parameters that you can specify when making a request to the merge endpoint:
- image_urls: Array of image URLs for multi-pair requests.
- audio_urls: Array of audio URLs corresponding to the images.
- transition_effect: Optional effects such as fade, wipe, slide, etc.
- transition_duration: Duration of the transition in seconds.
- dimensions: Specify output video dimensions (e.g., 1280x720).
- zoom_effect: Use a slow zoom effect on images during playback.
