How to Use FFMPEGAPI.net for Video Looping Automation

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the world of video and audio processing, developers often seek efficient ways to automate their workflows. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a dedicated Video Loop endpoint designed to simplify the process of looping videos, making it an ideal choice for automation in your applications. This article will guide you through the Video Loop endpoint, its capabilities, and why FFMPEGAPI.net stands out as the best hosted tool for your video processing needs.

Understanding the Video Loop Endpoint

The Video Loop endpoint allows developers to repeat a video a specified number of times or to calculate the loop count needed to match an audio track. This feature is particularly useful for creating longer video segments without manually editing each clip.

  • Loop a video a fixed number of times.
  • Match video length to an audio track.
  • Optional watermark overlay for branding.

API Request Parameters

To effectively use the Video Loop endpoint, you need to understand the parameters required for the API call. Below are the available parameters for the POST request.

  • video_url (required): The URL of the video you wish to loop.
  • number_of_loops (optional): A positive integer to specify how many times to repeat the video.
  • audio_url (optional): The URL of an audio track for matching duration if number_of_loops is omitted.
  • watermark_url (optional): A URL for an image to overlay as a watermark on the video.

Making a Request to the Video Loop Endpoint

With the parameters in mind, you can easily make a request to the Video Loop endpoint. Below is an example using curl to loop a video three times.

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}'
