This template listens on a webhook for a GIF URL, calls your FFmpeg encoding API from JavaScript, waits until the MP4 is ready, and saves the job id and output URL in the Latenode database. Use it when a CMS or upload form should hand off conversion and keep a record of the result. Put the FFmpeg API key in that JavaScript node.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

The scenario starts when your app POSTs a GIF URL, and any quality flags, to the webhook.
JavaScript submits the encode job, polls until it finishes, and returns the MP4 URL. Put the FFmpeg API key in that JavaScript node.
The Latenode database saves job id, source URL, and MP4 link so later runs and support checks can find the asset.
Add a webhook trigger and copy the URL into the CMS or upload app that sends GIF jobs. Require a shared secret or signature on the request so only your app can enqueue work.
Add a JavaScript node that posts the GIF URL to your FFmpeg encoding API, polls for completion, and returns the MP4 URL. Put the FFmpeg API key in that JavaScript node.
Create a database object with job id, source URL, and MP4 link. Use that record if you retry a failed encode.
