Free FFmpeg API
Add a logo watermark to any video in four different methods. Same job (overlay a PNG in the bottom right), four different tools: the command line (curl or a bash script), Make, N8N, and Claude using MCP.
Everything runs server-side through the FFmpeg Micro API. No FFmpeg install, no encoding servers, no hidden costs. The free tier gives you 100 video processing minutes per month, forever.
