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 make them work together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
-
/video/adaptive
encodes videos into HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and MPEG-Dash supported formats and generates the necessary manifest and playlist files -
/video/concat
concatenates several videos together -
/video/encode
encodes, resizes, applies watermarks to videos and animated GIFs -
/video/merge
composes a new video by adding an audio track to existing still image(s) or video -
/video/subtitle
adds subtitles to videos -
/video/thumbs
