One of the most requested features we hear from our customers is the ability to use video transcoding with Filepicker.io in a way that’s just as powerful and easy to integrate as our image conversion capabilities. We took a deep look at the video transcoding space and knew that we wanted to work with Zencoder to make it happen. The result? The easiest way for your application to collect, transcode, and display videos to your users.
