Unlimited Encoding
Encode as many videos as you like on your encoders and unlike many other video providers there is no cost per video.
A plethora of supported codecs
We support all of the most popular audio and video codecs including H.264, AAC, OGG, MP3, Flv, WMV and many more. You can see the full list here.
Scale
As your encoding traffic grows you can increase (and decrease) the number of encoders in your encoding cloud. The more encoders you have the more videos you can simultaneously encode, and the less time your users will need to wait to have their videos completed.
Powerful Encoders
Encode video faster than ever before. Each encoder in your encoding cloud will have unrestricted access to its own CPU core with the capacity of a 3.25 GHz Xeon processor or equivalent.
iPhone/iPad streaming
Create videos compatible with the iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices. We also support Apple's HTTP segmented streaming.
High Definition
You can choose the quality of your videos, be it compressed for saving bandwidth of beautiful full HD quality.
Upload directly to Panda
No need to hassle with handling large video files in your existing application. We cut out the middleman. Your users can upload videos securely and directly into your Panda account.
Immediate notifications
As part of the powerful offered by our API, your site is notified the moment an encoding is completed.
Letterboxing/Pillarboxing
By default Panda will calculate the letterboxing or pillarboxing required to keep videos within the defined dimensions. If you have custom requirements you can overwrite the behaviour to perform any transformations required.
Open-source libraries
We offer free, open source libraries in several popular languages: PHP, Ruby and Python. If you need one we don't have, our API makes it simple to write your own library. Let us know if you do!
Use your preferred web video player
Do you have a favourite Flash video player? Or maybe you want to use HTML5? All are welcome. You can decide which one to use, and the branding it will have. After all, the video is in your S3 bucket for you to access at will.
5GB videos
From short kitten videos to monumental Hollywood productions. You can upload and encode videos as large as 5GB.
