Flix Cloud Features
We designed Flix Cloud by talking to a lot of our On2 Flix Engine customers who wanted a cloud transcoding solution. We found that most of them didn't want a lot of bells & whistles. They wanted fast, reliable transcoding to & from the most popular formats through a RESTful web services API, at a fair price.
So that's what we tried to build, and we think we did a pretty darn good job. But no application is ever perfect, so if there's something we missed, please let us know.
