Qencode

Qencode gives Claude a complete video pipeline. Claude can watch and understand your videos, convert them to play on any device, use AI to make files smaller without losing quality, and deliver them wherever they need to go, at a fraction of what enterprise video platforms charge.

Understand video with AI. Ask Claude to describe a video, flag unsafe content, or find the exact moment something happens. Get a transcript showing who spoke and when, create subtitles and translate them into 15 languages, check whether footage was made by AI, measure video quality, read file details, or ask any question about the video and get an answer.

Convert and stream. Turn a file from your computer, a link, or cloud storage into MP4 or WebM, or into a stream that adjusts its quality to each viewer’s connection (HLS/DASH). Qencode’s AI studies each video and finds the smallest file size that still looks sharp, so videos load faster and cost less to deliver. Use modern formats like AV1, HEVC, and VP9 for even smaller files, and add or change quality levels without processing the whole video again.

Edit and extract. Trim, combine, resize, crop, rotate, add a watermark, convert HDR to standard color, change the frame rate, or adjust audio tracks. Save the audio as MP3, M4A, or FLAC, let AI choose the best thumbnail, create the preview images that appear when viewers hover over a video’s progress bar, or make a GIF.

Protect and deliver. Stop unauthorized viewing with encryption and DRM (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady), and add invisible watermarks that trace leaked copies back to their source. Send finished videos to one or more places at once (S3, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze, FTP) or store them with Qencode and share links that expire.

Automate the whole thing. One job can create a stream, an MP4, thumbnails, and a transcript together. Claude starts the job, tracks its progress, and is notified as soon as it’s done. Built-in recipes mean the job is built correctly.
