SnapOtterandGitHub 00b651c9f8 feat(i18n): 21-language pipeline, landing/docs/API wiring, landing+API translations
Shared Claude Code translation pipeline (scripts/i18n, no API key) plus Astro/VitePress/Scalar i18n wiring. Landing and API reference translated into all 20 languages; docs i18n wiring + English source anchors. The translated docs markdown (apps/docs/<locale>/**, 3,620 files) follows in a companion PR because it exceeds GitHub's per-PR CI file limit.

Add solid-color bars to fit a target aspect ratio.

Aspect Pad

Add solid-color letterbox or pillarbox bars to fit a video into a target aspect ratio without cropping.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/video/aspect-pad

Accepts multipart form data with a video file and a JSON settings field.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
target string No "9:16" Target aspect ratio: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4
color string No "#000000" Hex color for the padding bars (e.g. "#000000" for black)

Example Request

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/video/aspect-pad \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@clip.mp4" \
  -F 'settings={"target": "1:1", "color": "#ffffff"}'

Example Response

{
  "jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/clip.mp4",
  "originalSize": 12500000,
  "processedSize": 13200000
}

Notes

  • If the video already matches the target aspect ratio, the file is returned unchanged.
  • Use 9:16 for vertical/portrait social media formats (TikTok, Reels, Shorts).
  • For blurred padding instead of solid color, use the Blur Pad tool.
