Parameters
Source
Mandatory. Provide a URL starting with http:// or https:// that points to a video file.
Make sure to URL-encode the entire URL, e.g. by using encodeURIComponent() in JavaScript. Why?
If your URL contains a & sign, the characters following it will be interpreted by the video
optimizer, which might cause it to fail. A URL-encoded & will become %26 and is safe to use.
Example: source=https://fxstr.com/out/test.mp4 or URL-encoded:
source=https%3A%2F%2Ffxstr.com%2Fout%2Ftest.mp4
Format
Optional; defaults to h264. Valid values are currently
av1MP4 video, AV1 encodedh264MP4 video, H.264 encodedjpgJPEG still image
Example: format=av1
Size (includes Cropping)
Optional. Resizes the video and crops it, if necessary.
Format: {width?}/{height?} where height or width or both can be provided. width and height
must be even integers (due to limitations of the underlying library).
If you provide both width and height, the video will be cropped around the center to fit the
dimensions. If you only provide width or height, the other dimension will be calculated
to fit the original video's aspect ratio.
Examples:
size=720/for a width of 720px.size=/480for a height of 480px.size=320/720for a portrait video with a width of 320px and a height of 720px; video might be cropped if the original video's aspect ratio differs from the desired one.
Trim
Optional. Trims the video. Times must be provided in the format hh:mm:ss.sss (where sss are
milliseconds).
Format: {from?)/{to?}, from and to in the exact format hh:mm:ss.sss.
Examples:
trim=00:00:01.500to cut off the first 1.5 seconds.trim=/00:00:04.200to discard everything after 4.2 seconds.trim=00:00:01.200/00:01:00.000keep the segment between 1.2s and 60s.
FPS
Optional. Sets the output framerate. When not set, uses the original video's framerate. If provided, must be a positive number.
Examples:
fps=25fps=29.97
Quality
Optional. Sets the output quality. If provided, must be a number between 0 and 100. 100 is the best image/video quality (and produces the largest files).
Defaults (according to Ffmpeg):
- h264:
55 - av1:
44 - jpg:
80
Examples:
quality=90(for high quality and large file size output)
Keyframes
Optional. Defines the interval for keyframes (a value of 50 means that every 50th frame is a
keyframe/I-frame). If not set, uses the original video's keyframe interval. If provided,
must be a positive integer.
Examples:
keyframe=50
