Transloadit Blog

Today, after three years of development, we are launching version 1.0 of Uppy, our file uploader for web browsers.

If you have ever come across the documentation for the /upload/handle and /image/resize Robots, you may have seen the output_meta parameter. You may then also have wondered what exactly it does. After all, unlike with most other parameters, its use might not be immediately clear from the name alone :)

One of the more unique tools available to the /video/merge Robot is its audio_delay parameter, which allows you to pause your audio for a defined amount of seconds. At first, adding an audio delay to a video may seem like a very specific use case. A quick search online for the term "audio delay" will give you pages of information on how to fix audio delay, rather than intentionally create it. However, after playing around with the /video/merge Robot for a little while, I quickly found one nifty use for the parameter that I want to share with you today 😄

We are changing Transloadit's legal entity from a British "Ltd" to a German "GmbH". Both are a type of Private Limited Liability Company, and you won't notice any changes on the operational side. Bank statements and tax numbers will change, however. If you have signed contracts with us, you may want to sign updated versions featuring our new name. Please reach out if that is the case.

This blog post is the fourth installment in the series that we're calling Re-loadit. In this series, we will be covering a number of Transloadit's features that haven't yet received a proper introduction to our users.

A watermark can go a long way. Whether it's for advertising your brand, protecting your content — or both — a watermark is something any video creator should take into consideration. Unfortunately, these watermarks aren't always pretty. Covering parts of your video with a static image can be intrusive at best and unacceptable at worst. Luckily, here at Transloadit, we have been working to remedy this 😄

This blog post is the third part of the series that we're calling Re-loadit. In these blog posts, we are covering a number of Transloadit's features that haven't yet received a proper introduction to our users.

As people are moving more parts of their life to digital platforms, a lot of consideration is made with regard to how many GBs of data they should subscribe to. Stakes are also getting higher, as keeping your users — and their data — safe has become more important than ever.

When we last left off in the Re-loadit series, I covered an example using the /dropbox/store Robot. This time, I want to import files from my personal Dropbox. So, continuing with the Dropbox theme, it's the /dropbox/import Robot's time to shine!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build your own YouTube-like site where you can upload videos and users can watch in different formats, while having discussions on the video page?
