Video Encoding
FFmpeg, codecs, bitrates...?!
You shouldn't have to be a video engineer to build compelling video experiences into your product. We take care of all the complexity around transcoding, transmuxing, and compressing your content into formats optimized for Adaptative Bitrate Streaming (ABR) and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) so that your videos look their best, no matter what sort of connection your viewers are on.
