Pipe's HTML5 & Flash clients handle the video recording process from both the mobile and desktop web while the iOS & Android SDKs make it possible to add video recording to your apps and link them to Pipe's processing infrastructure.

HTML5^Beta + Legacy Flash

Record From Mobile

HTML Media Capture is used to record video from mobile devices using the OS' capabilities & upload it to our processing infrastructure.

Up to 4k video

Pipe can record and properly manage videos up to 4k (3840x2160) in resolution from mobile devices and up to 1080p from desktop devices.

iOS & Android SDKs

Add video recording to your mobile app and link it to our video processing infrastructure through our native iOS & Android SDKs.

Picture in Picture

To avoid releasing the webcam while playing the recorded video (it created problems with Firefox's camera privacy dialog's non persistence) we've implemented a picture in picture mode for video playback.

Async HTML Embed Code

Our async JS embed code will not slow down your website's loading speed.

We Process The Videos For You

You are NOT a film editor?

The final .mp4 video files we encode contain the right audio and video codecs and are encoded at the right level to play natively across browsers, desktop players and devices.

We also extract a snapshot, place a keyframe at the beginning + the MOOV atom before that and add a watermark to any corner if needed.

Good To Go MP4

All incoming videos (.mov, .flv, .3gp, .webm, etc.) are transcoded to a fine tuned .mp4 file which plays across browsers, devices and desktop players.

Watermarks

With the Pipe PRO account you can easily add a PNG watermark to any corner of your videos. Not available with personal or trial accounts.

Snapshots

A snapshot is extracted from each video to make it easy to identify and embed the video later on.

Mobile Video Rotation

The device rotation is taken into account to make sure the resulting .mp4 and .jpg snapshot play in the correct orientation across devices.

MOOV Atom

Pipe places the famed MOOV atom at the beginning of the .mp4 file to ensure immediate playback over the web.

1st Keyframe Position

Pipe tries as much as possible to place a keyframe at the beginning of the video to ensure playback does not start with a black frame.

Store Anywhere

We can store the videos for you but if you need more control over the storage Pipe can securely push the videos to your server through SFTP, to your S3 bucket, to your Dropbox account and even to your YouTube channel.

Our own S3 storage

[Optional] By default we store your videos and snapshots on our own S3 bucket where they are hold until after you close your account.

Amazon S3

Pipe can push the final video & snapshot to your own S3 bucket (all regions supported). Folders and (canned) ACL options are avb..
