About the Pexels video maker demo

This demo integrates with the Pexels API to search their video library. The application loops through the results and chooses the first 8 videos to include in the edit. A title and soundtrack are also prepared. Finally the edit is sent to the Shotstack API for rendering.

This demo is available as an open source project in the following languages:

These repos will allow you to see exactly how it works and adapt or re-use it as the starting point for your own cloud video editing application.
