Cloud Media Encoder is an Open Source software agent for distributed processing and publishing of stock footage video assets. Easy to set up virtual machines (nodes) can perform tasks assigned to them and provide a solid base for your asset distribution and monetization activities. Our primary focus is on scalability to allow for fast expansion of required resources like disk space, fast network connection ,processing power and high availability. Documentation is still work in progress so bare with us and ask questions.

So what does it do? It can process video files and images. It can also compile several images into a video. It can Encode, Encrypt, Watermark Videos including watermarks with animation, Generate thumbnails, Resize Images, Rotate Images, Compress, Gather information with MediaInfo and Render (for example moving an object from position to position on consecutive frames of a video)

Single node will take your source files and keep it in hidden folder if you wish and publish only thumbnails and previews. Or perhaps you want to render a copy from hidden original and apply selected watermark and expose it using a temporary link that will expire after an x number of days. It is all her and possible with this API. Ngnix is used as a web server to serve files you want to expose through http.

Currently in a form of API that takes XML commands and outputs XML responses through SSH. Contact us if you are interested as we have a C# library for easy manipulation.
