Video Encoding
The way that digital files are encoded plays a big part in the quality of video, and the ability to get the crisp details across, while also determining the size of file. Transloadit offers a variety of video encoding features to maximize file compatibility across platforms, as well as enrich video with effects, loops, watermarks, and more, to get the most out of your (user generated) video content.
Robots
At Transloadit, we call our features Robots because you can link them together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
