Video codecs

The available options can depend on the version of the underlying encoding tools that Transloadit uses for the following Robots:

  • 🤖/audio/artwork
  • 🤖/audio/concat
  • 🤖/audio/split
  • 🤖/audio/encode
  • 🤖/audio/loop
  • 🤖/audio/merge
  • 🤖/audio/waveform
  • 🤖/meta/write
  • 🤖/video/adaptive
  • 🤖/video/artwork
  • 🤖/video/concat
  • 🤖/video/encode
  • 🤖/video/merge
  • 🤖/video/split
  • 🤖/video/subtitle
  • 🤖/video/thumbs

Transloadit recommends having: ffmpeg_stack: "v7" in these Robots’ Assembly Instructions. We are intimately aware of how important continuity is for our customers, so stack version upgrades are always opt-in. Stack versions are typically supported for many years before we start issuing deprecation warnings (for example, we had been supporting "v1.0.0" for 11 years before we deprecated it).
