A good fit for

  • Enterprises and teams needing scalable, automated video production with API integration.
  • Developers who require an API-first design with comprehensive documentation, webhooks, and SDKs for video rendering.

Know the limitations

  • Rendering cost scales with video resolution: 1 credit per minute for 1080p, 2 credits per minute for up to 2K, and 4 credits per minute for 4K and above.
  • AI voiceover and auto-caption features consume credits from the same balance as video rendering, potentially increasing credit usage.

What you can do

  • Generating thousands of personalized videos programmatically for enterprises and teams.
  • Adding AI-generated voice narration and captions to videos in a single API call for enhanced accessibility and engagement.

Features

  • Template-driven video rendering from JSON configurations with dynamic overlays for text, images, video, and audio.
  • AI voiceover generation integrated into the render request with twelve curated voices and support for 992 voices from Speechify's catalogue.
  • Auto-captions with word-synced captions and real per-word timings, billed only for the clip duration used.
  • Render preview feature to resolve a render without consuming credits or producing a job, showing warnings and cost upfront.
