1. Add source via AddMediaBenchmark API call. XML should reflect the following: 2. Store Media ID returned by API for next 2 steps. 3. Get media duration by using GetMediaInfo call. API will return the following XML: Pay attention only the <video_duration>1253</video_duration> tag. Based on the video duration they should calculate how Read more
There's a variety of ways that you can use Encoding.com's platform to bring together multiple sources to create a completely customized workflow that can dynamically change, as time requires. You can add just a bumper or a trailer to any clip, or both! Plus, you can concatenate videos exponentially. Here's how: 1) Log into the Read more
The default value for keyframe interval set by the optional format field <keyframe> is 300, i.e. keyframe is added every 300 frames. For a framerate of 30fps this would equal 10 secs. But for 15fps (most often used for FLV) it would be 20 seconds, which may be too often. To change this value, simply Read more
Easily clip out a specified portion of your source. We support a few methods for this. The first method is to specify a starting point and duration in seconds. Not including a starting point with the duration will start clipping from the beginning of the source. <start>10</start> – Can be any value from 0 up to Read more
So you want to make thumbnails from your clips, but you don't know the length, use the following: Instead of <time>20</time> –> use a percentage-based value: <time>20%</time>.

To crop, you simple specify how many pixels will be cut from each side (left, top, right, bottom) of the original frame size. Once cropped, the resulting frame size will be resized and centered to fit output size (if necessary), as usual. Example: the source file size is 704×576, and we want to crop 10 Read more
Many of our customers ask for guidance on how to place a watermark image into a video. This feature is provided in the Encoding.com API and here we will show how to quickly and easily create a watermark. Please note that the source and output frame sizes need to match. If they do not match, Read more
A common issue with video encoding involves the video and audio going out of sync. This can happen right at the beginning of a video, or slowly over time. Here's some possible fixes: 1. Make sure the output framerate setting matches the source file's framerate. For example: if source is 29.97 fps video into encoding.com, Read more
