Stitch Videos
AI-generatedOverview
This node integrates with the ClipMagic API to perform various video and audio processing tasks. Specifically, the "Stitch Videos" operation allows users to combine multiple video files sequentially into a single output video file. This is useful when you have several clips that need to be merged into one continuous video without manual editing.
Common scenarios include:
- Combining recorded segments of an event or presentation into one video.
- Merging multiple short clips from different sources into a single video for easier sharing or uploading.
- Creating highlight reels by stitching together selected video parts.
For example, if you have three separate video URLs representing parts of a tutorial, you can provide them as input, and the node will stitch them in order into one MP4 or MOV file.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Options | Extra settings for the request. Contains: - Timeout (ms): How long to wait before aborting the HTTP call. Set to 0 for no limit. |
| Video URLs | JSON array or comma-separated list of video URLs to stitch in order. |
| Output Format | Output container/codec format. Options: MP4, MOV. |
| Output Filename | Desired filename for the output video (without extension). Optional. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object and may also output binary data representing the resulting stitched video file.
json: Contains fields such as:
success: Boolean indicating if the operation succeeded.operation: The operation performed, here always"stitch".filename: The name of the output file (including extension).contentType: The MIME type of the output video (e.g.,video/mp4).
binary.data: Contains the binary content of the stitched video file, ready for further use in workflows (e.g., saving to disk, uploading).
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the ClipMagic API.
- Needs network access to the ClipMagic service endpoint.
- The user must supply valid video URLs accessible by the ClipMagic API.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid video URLs: If the provided URLs are inaccessible or invalid, the API call will fail. Ensure URLs are publicly accessible or properly shared.
- Timeouts: Large videos or slow network conditions might cause timeouts. Adjust the "Timeout (ms)" option accordingly or set it to 0 for no timeout.
- Unsupported formats: Only MP4 and MOV output formats are supported for stitching. Selecting other formats will cause errors.
- Malformed URLs input: The "Video URLs" property accepts either a JSON array string or a comma-separated list. Invalid JSON or incorrect formatting will cause parsing errors.
- API errors: Any error returned by the ClipMagic API will be surfaced. Check the error message for details and verify credentials and parameters.
