Should I MP4 or WebM?

Videos are one of the fastest growing categories of user generated content, with upwards of 85% of internet users in the United States streaming online videos every week!

MediaMachine simplifies the process of encoding your video assets into different formats. If you're running a platform that serves videos to users, and not supporting multiple formats and resolutions, you are missing out. For example, YouTube makes their videos available in more than 5 resolutions and formats.

Let MediaMachine focus on handling your video transcoding needs while you focus on your business.

A case for an intelligent Thumbnailing service#

Thumbnails are like book covers for videos. Studies [1, 2] suggest thumbnails play an important role in determining whether to watch a video or skip to another. A high quality thumbnail can boost your video views and engagement. Thumbnails give your users quick visual feedback on the content and resolution quality of a video. These split-second impressions are sometimes used exclusively as a proxy for textual search where your users won’t even read the titles or text summaries of the video on your platforms.

We are excited to announce MediaMachine - A suite of video manipulation APIs to help you showcase content in the best light.

With MediaMachine, you can Transcode videos into multiple web-ready formats as well as resolutions, create Intelligent Thumbnails and Intelligent Video Previews (And yes, those can be GIFs too!).
