E-Commerce Video Processing
Automate product video processing for your online store with VideoComposer. Trim demos to marketplace length limits, convert to the right format for Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy, add your brand watermark, and batch-process hundreds of videos programmatically via the REST API. No watermark on your output. No subscription required to start.
Product videos on listing pages increase conversion rates significantly. Trim raw footage to the ideal 15–30 second length, overlay your brand logo as a watermark, and add text captions describing product features. The compose tool handles all of this in a single processing step.
Different marketplaces have different video format and length requirements. Amazon requires MP4 or MOV under 500 MB. Shopify accepts MP4, MOV, and WebM. Etsy supports MP4 and MOV up to 5 minutes. Use the VideoComposer converter and trimmer to produce correctly formatted videos for each platform from a single master file.
Your product demo videos are valuable assets. Repurpose them for Instagram Shopping, TikTok ads, and Facebook dynamic ads by trimming to platform-specific lengths, converting to the right format, and adding captions for silent autoplay. One master video can power your entire social commerce strategy. See the social media use case page for platform-specific guidance.
When your catalog grows to hundreds or thousands of SKUs, manual video processing is not scalable. The VideoComposer REST API lets you send video jobs programmatically — trim, convert, watermark — and receive the output asynchronously. Integrate into your existing product management workflow or run as a scheduled batch job. Read the developer guide and the watermark API guide to get started.
Most browser-based video tools lack API access for automation. VideoComposer combines free browser tools with a full REST API, making it the only tool most e-commerce teams need for both manual and automated video processing.

For stores with large product catalogs, manual video editing is a significant time cost. The VideoComposer API eliminates the repetitive parts of the workflow.
For a store with 100 products, manually processing each video takes roughly 20 hours. The same batch via the VideoComposer API runs in minutes and requires only the time to write the integration script once. See the video processing API guide to estimate integration effort for your catalog.

How VideoComposer compares to other video processing tools for e-commerce.
Credits-based plans for high-volume batch processing and API access.
Yes. VideoComposer provides a full REST API for programmatic video processing. You can write a script or workflow that sends product videos to the API, applies trimming, watermarking, or format conversion, and retrieves the processed output — without any manual browser interaction. This is ideal for stores with large product catalogs.
Amazon accepts MP4 and MOV files for product videos, with a maximum file size of 500 MB. Use the VideoComposer Video Converter to output MP4, or the compose tool to trim your video to the right length before uploading to Seller Central. Requirements may change — verify current specs at sellercentral.amazon.com.
No. VideoComposer never adds its own watermark to your output on any tier. You can add your own brand watermark to product videos using the Add Watermark tool, with full control over position and opacity.
Use the VideoComposer REST API. Send each video to the /video/watermark endpoint with your logo image and position parameters. The API processes videos asynchronously and returns the watermarked output. This lets you batch-process an entire product catalog programmatically. See the API documentation at /developers.
Yes. The VideoComposer Video Converter outputs MP4, WebM, and GIF formats — covering the requirements for Shopify product pages, Etsy listings, Amazon listings, and social commerce on Instagram and TikTok. Convert once, then upload the appropriately formatted version to each platform.
Yes. The free tier allows up to 5 video processing jobs per 24 hours with no signup required for browser-based tools. For stores processing more videos — especially those using the API for batch automation — credits-based paid plans are available. See the pricing page for details.
Use the free browser tools for one-off edits, or integrate the REST API to automate product video processing across your entire catalog. View pricing for credits-based plans that scale with your catalog size.
