Run a command to generate a gif from the first minute of a video
We will want to run the following FFmpeg command:
ffmpeg -i https://storage.rendi.dev/sample/sample.avi -ss 00:00 -to 01:00 -vf select='lte(n\,1)+gt(trunc(t/10),trunc(prev_t/10))',setpts='PTS*0.025',scale=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:160:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:160:-1:-1 -an -vsync vfr output1.gif
Use the same command in Rendi
curl --location 'https://api.rendi.dev/v1/run-ffmpeg-command' \
--header 'X-API-KEY: <api-key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
--data '{
"input_files": {
"in_1": "https://storage.rendi.dev/sample/sample.avi"
},
"output_files": {
"out_1": "output1.gif"
},
"ffmpeg_command": "-i {{in_1}} -ss 00:00 -to 01:00 -vf select='\''lte(n\\,1)+gt(trunc(t/10),trunc(prev_t/10))'\'',setpts='\''PTS*0.025'\'',scale=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:160:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=trunc(oh*a/2)*2:160:-1:-1 -an -vsync vfr {{out_1}}"
}'
Running this command will return the command_id:
{
"command_id": "e8a035b2-d7d6-424c-8dc4-16247ce1b753"
}
The command now runs in Rendi and you can check its’ status:
Poll the command_id until it reaches status SUCCESS
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.rendi.dev/v1/commands/{command_id} \
--header 'X-API-KEY: <api-key>'
While processing the command will pass from status QUEUED to PROCESSING to SUCCESS

When the status reaches SUCCESS Rendi will return the stored output file with it.
