Hi. I was going through the list of supported video formats here - Transform and adapt media assets. I want to know if these would work fine for iPhone users? I want to know if iPhone users will be able to export the video in a format that ImageKit can accept as an input, and then can ImageKit output the video in a format that is supported for iPhone users.
iPhones typically record videos with HEVC (H.265) or H.264 codec and AAC audio codec, saved as .MOV or .MP4 files. ImageKit supports both these formats as input. You can either upload these iPhone-recorded videos to the Media Library, or you can store them in your own cloud storage and connect that storage to ImageKit for video delivery.
When delivering videos, ImageKit can automatically serve video formats supported by iPhones using the f-auto parameter or automatic video format optimization. You can also force a specific format like MP4 or WebM if needed using the format transformation parameter.
You can also create HLS streaming manifests for Adaptive Bitrate Streaming using ImageKit’s URL-based transformations. HLS streaming protocol is natively supported in Apple ecosystem (and is supported on other devices as well), making it an excellent choice for streaming videos that adapt to the user’s network speed.
