SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Converting videos between formats like MOV, AVI, MKV, or WebM into universally playable MP4 files normally requires local tools and manual configuration; this Skill handles it through a single Pixazo API call. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Format-Agnostic Conversion: Detects the source format by file content rather than extension, so MOV, AVI, WMV, MKV, FLV, MTS, 3GP, and WebM inputs all convert correctly. - Streaming-Ready Output: Writes MP4 (H.264/AAC) with +faststart so videos begin playing before fully downloading. - Use Case: A user receives a .mov screen recording that will not play on a colleague's device; the agent submits the video URL to the Pixazo endpoint and returns a downloadable MP4 link. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to convert your video file to MP4 by providing its URL, for example: convert this video at https://example.com/clip.mov to MP4.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a video to MP4 using an API?▼

Send a POST request to the Pixazo video-convert endpoint with your API key, a video_url pointing to the source file, and to_format set to mp4. The response contains the converted MP4 output ready for download.

What video formats can be converted to MP4?▼

The API accepts MOV, AVI, WMV, MKV, FLV, MTS, 3GP, and WebM inputs. The source format is detected from file content rather than the extension, so files with incorrect extensions still convert correctly.

Does video conversion work if the file has the wrong extension?▼

Yes. The converter identifies the source format by inspecting the file content, not the file extension, so a mislabeled file still converts to MP4 correctly.

Why did my video conversion request return a 401 error?▼

A 401 status means the Pixazo API key is missing or invalid. Generate a fresh key at the Pixazo API console and pass it in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header of your request.

What are the limitations of API-based video conversion?▼

The source video must be accessible via a public URL, and conversion is limited to MP4 (H.264/AAC) output. Per-call costs apply based on your Pixazo account balance, and rate limits may throttle frequent requests.
