MP4 to MOV API - Convert MP4 to MOV API: Pricing, Documentation

Authentication

All requests require an API key passed via header.

Pricing: Billed at $0.002 per second of input video — measured on the source you submit, not on the file returned. A 60-second video costs $0.12.

Rounding: billing is per second but always rounds up to a whole second — a 5.06-second source bills as 6 seconds. The shortest billable job is 1 second.

Retries: this is an asynchronous job on shared encoding capacity, so a request can occasionally come back processing_failed or take longer than usual. These are transient and succeed on a retry, and a failed job is never charged — the wallet hold is released.

Status Flow

QUEUED → PROCESSING → COMPLETED
                    → FAILED
                    → ERROR

Typical Workflow

1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
2. Save the request_id from the response
3. Poll every 5–10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
4. When status is COMPLETED, download from output.media_url

Tip: Use the X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.
