This application is the perfect example of a well executed and documented API. In less than 10 mins, set up, web hook done, and first render!

There are a couple of other options out there that attempt to provide the same or similar solution, but none of them come close in terms of quality, ease of use, and speed.

Shotstack was EXACTLY what I was looking for, and incredibly easy to get started with. You guys are killing it.

Questions

What do I get for free?
10 credits when you sign up, valid for 30 days.
Should I pay as I go or choose a plan?
Pay as you go costs 20¢ a minute and suits occasional videos. Plans cost 15.6¢ to 5¢ a minute and suit regular rendering.
What happens when I run out of minutes?
Rendering pauses. Top up any time from $10. On a monthly plan, top-ups cost your plan's rate.
Do unused minutes carry over?
Plan minutes roll over for 3 months. Pay-as-you-go minutes last 12 months.
How are minutes counted?
By the second, rounded down. A 30-second video uses half a minute.
What are credits?
Credits are what you buy. On pay as you go, one credit renders one minute. Plans render more per credit: 1.25 minutes on Starter, 1.5 on Pro, 2 on Scale and 4 on Volume. Credits also pay for AI generation.
What does AI generation cost?
Each model has its own price in credits, the same on every plan. A Nano Banana 2 image at 1K costs 0.5 credits. Every model's rate is listed in the dashboard and through the models endpoint.
How is the white-label video editor licensed?
The editor is source-available under a PolyForm Shield License. The npm package uses FFmpeg for exports and works with the Edit API for rendering and automation.
I'm on an older plan. Does anything change?
No. Your price, credits and terms stay the same.
