This document outlines potential features to enhance the @profullstack/transcoder module, making it more attractive and valuable to users.
What: Normalize audio levels, reduce noise, and enhance clarity.
Why: "Perfect audio every time. No more straining to hear quiet videos or getting blasted by loud ones."
// Example API
await transcode('input.mp4', 'output.mp4', {
audio: {
normalize: true, // Normalize audio levels
noiseReduction: 0.3, // Reduce background noise (0.0 to 1.0)
fadeIn: 1.5, // Fade in duration in seconds
fadeOut: 2.0, // Fade out duration in seconds
volume: 1.2 // Adjust volume (1.0 = original volume)
}
});What: Web-based UI for monitoring transcoding progress.
Why: "See exactly what's happening with your videos in real-time. No more guessing when your videos will be ready."
// Example API
const { outputPath, dashboardUrl } = await transcode('input.mp4', 'output.mp4', {
dashboard: true
});
// Open dashboardUrl in a browser to see progressWhat: Analyze video quality, detect issues, and provide recommendations.
Why: "Know exactly what's wrong with your videos before your viewers do."
What: Automatically detect the best output format and settings based on content analysis.
Why: "Let AI choose the perfect settings for your content. Better quality, smaller files."
What: Extract, add, or burn in subtitles.
Why: "Make your content accessible to everyone, in any language."
What: Apply visual filters and effects during transcoding.
Why: "Professional-looking videos without professional editing skills."
What: Direct integration with popular cloud storage providers.
Why: "Transcode directly to and from your cloud storage. No downloading, no uploading, no hassle."
What: Convert audio files between different formats and optimize quality.
Why: "Perfect audio conversion for podcasts, music, and sound effects. Optimize for quality or file size."
// Example API
await transcodeAudio('input.wav', 'output.mp3', {
bitrate: '320k',
normalize: true,
fadeIn: 2,
fadeOut: 3
});What: Convert and optimize images between different formats.
Why: "Batch convert your image library. Optimize for web, reduce file sizes, maintain quality."
// Example API
await transcodeImage('input.png', 'output.webp', {
quality: 85,
resize: { width: 1200, height: 800 },
optimize: true
});
// Batch processing
const results = await transcodeImageBatch([
{ input: 'image1.png', output: 'image1.webp' },
{ input: 'image2.jpg', output: 'image2.webp' }
], { quality: 85, optimize: true });What: Use AI to improve video quality, generate thumbnails, and create highlights.
Why: "Transform ordinary videos into extraordinary content with the power of AI."
What: Transcode videos on-the-fly for streaming applications.
Why: "Deliver the right format to the right viewer at the right time, every time."
What: Distribute transcoding tasks across multiple machines.
Why: "Process hours of video in minutes with distributed computing power."
