I want to automate video compression to a target size via an API instead of doing it manually.

Provide an API that compresses videos to a specified target file size automatically. This removes manual trial-and-error and enables consistent, repeatable compression in workflows and applications.

This feature introduces an API endpoint that accepts a source video and a desired target file size, then automatically produces a compressed output that meets the size goal as closely as possible. It is designed to replace manual compression workflows where users repeatedly adjust bitrate, resolution, or codec settings until the result fits platform limits. The API can be integrated into backend services, media pipelines, or upload flows to compress content immediately after ingestion. By automating decision-making around compression settings, it helps standardize output across teams and deployments. This is useful for meeting strict upload limits on messaging, learning management, or social platforms without requiring operators to tune settings per file. It also supports batch processing use cases where large volumes of videos must be normalized to predictable sizes. The feature reduces turnaround time and operational effort, especially for non-technical users or teams without video encoding expertise. It can be used in CI/CD-style media processing pipelines to produce consistent deliverables for web or mobile playback. Overall, it improves reliability and scalability of video handling by making size targeting a programmable step in any application.
