Programmatic Video Editing: Create Endless Loops with FFMPEGAPI.net

June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the ability to programmatically edit videos without the hassle of managing servers is invaluable for developers. FFMPEGAPI.net provides a powerful hosted REST API, enabling you to create endless loops of videos seamlessly. This article will guide you on how to use the Endless Loop endpoint to achieve your video processing goals.

What is the Endless Loop Endpoint?

The Endless Loop endpoint allows you to repeat a video until a specified duration is reached. This is particularly useful for applications that require background loops or extended video clips for presentations, websites, or social media.

With this API, you can even add a watermark to your video, making it perfect for branding while looping your content.

  • Repeat a video until an exact target duration.
  • Trims the final loop if the target duration is not a multiple of the video length.
  • Supports optional watermark overlays.

How to Use the Endless Loop API

To utilize the Endless Loop feature, you will make a POST request to the /api/endless_loop endpoint. Here’s what you need to know about the parameters and how to format your request.

You'll need to provide the video URL you wish to loop and the target duration in seconds.

  • video_url: The URL of the video you want to loop (required).
  • duration: The target output duration in seconds (required).
  • watermark_url: Optional URL for the watermark image.
curl -X POST https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"video_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "duration": 1205}'
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/endless_loop'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/clip.mp4',
    'duration': 1205
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.json())
