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 trying to keep file sizes down. In our video encoding services, Transloadit offers a variety of 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.
Features
At Transloadit, we call our features Robots because you can make them work together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
