Is Merging Supported Now?

This thread from earlier this year seems to say that it was close. Is it out? Still in the works?

Hey Keenan,

we do support merging an image and an audio file to create a video. We do not support merging two or more audio/video streams yet.

Due to the big Amazon outage last week we are currently working on making the platform more reliable in case these outages happen. We’ll finish work on that soon and can then focus on adding more features.

Kind regards,

Thanks,

I realize that I might not have been clear in my question. I looking to be able to concatenate (end to end) audio files. Not mix them.

Moved to Skype.

Hey there,

this has shipped now. Sorry for the long delay.

Please see the docs here: https://transloadit.com/docs/conversion-robots#video-concatenation
And a demo here: https://transloadit.com/demos/video-merge/add-preroll-to-video

Please provide feedback!

Kind regards,

Can we use this with the custom ffmpeg options to use the ‘overlay’ filter to merge two video files? We are building a karaoke app and we want to merge one file that has nothing but the lyrics over the video of the user singing to produce the final version we post to the site. Thanks!

Hey Michael,

unfortunately merging two video files is not support right now, just concatenating them. However, we support audio and video merging, so if you extract the audio track from the one video as an audio file, you should be able to make it work using the robot.

Is that feasible?

Kind regards,
