Compress

Are bloated video file sizes getting you down and making you question your existence? Snap out of that existential crisis with the compress operation!

JavaScript/Typescript
Python

const compressedFile = modfy.compress(
 {
 inputFiles: ['video.mp4'],
 compressValue: 50 // Between 1 - 100, 100 is maximum compression
 },
 'sync' // Can be 'async' | 'sync' | 'client',
 'https://yourdomain.com/modfyWebhook'
)
 

Arguments#

Parameter	Type	Description
compressValue	number	How much to compress [0 - 100]

undefined Full class reference is below

Typing#

modfy.convert(
 {
 inputFiles: AcceptedFiles,
 to: ToFile
 },
 processType: ProcessType,
 webhookUrl?: string
): Promise<Uint8Array> | Promise<{ id: string, uuid: string }>

type ToFile = {
 format: FormatKey // From the keys of the default formats
 codec?: CodecKey // From the keys of the default codecs
}

type ProcessType = "sync" | "client" | "async"

/**
 * This interface is a wrapper for a file object which takes a buffer
 * with the mimeType and name of the file
 */
type ModfyFile = {
 name: string
 mimeType?: string
 buffer: Buffer
}

type StoredFiles = File[] | ModfyFile[]

/**
 * This type represents the accepted file inputs
 *
 * There are three accepted file input types
 * 1. Array of Html File Object
 * 2. Array of Strings, File Paths (Node only)
 * 3. Array of {buffer, name, mimeType} 
 Here we are supporting buffers directly but require that you provide the name and mimeType
 */
type AcceptedFiles = StoredFiles | string[]

Caveats#

All files in the input array must be of same type
String paths are only supported in node
