Temporary Output Files

By default, every rendered file is sent to the Shotstack destination, a permanent hosting service with a global CDN. You do not need to download the file or copy it to your own storage: serve it from its CDN URL. See Hosting and Serving Assets.

The url returned in the render status response is different. It is a temporary link to the raw output file and it expires after 24 hours. Do not store it or serve it to your users.

If you opt out of Shotstack hosting, download the file or transfer it to your own storage within 24 hours, or send it to one of the other destinations.
