HeyWatch API: vprofile and preset x264 options added
We just added two new x264 options to even more control your encoding quality:
vprofile: baseline, main, high, high10, high422, high444
preset: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo
You can see all the available x264 options here.
HeyWatch API: Rotation information available in video objects
The rotation information is now available in specs > video. 0 is default, can be 90, 180, 270
HeyWatch API: New Encoding Option: duration
This is the duration in second of the encoded video. It’s available in Job resource and Download resource as usual.
New Client Libraries for HeyWatch
We’ve released several client libraries in the last few days.
- Ruby: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-ruby
- Python: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-python
- PHP: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-php (by madewithlove)
- .NET: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-dotnet
NodeJS, Java and iOS will come soon.
Note that the ruby lib is a complete rewrite of the old gem and it’s not compatible. Also this release is a bit special because the new gem provides a command line interface (CLI) to manage all your videos, jobs, etc… In other words everything on HeyWatch.
