Distribute your files easily.

Once you've created your media asset, you want your end user to see it as quickly as possible. Setting up storage, writing code to transfer files, organising your own CDN and being able to stream across geographic regions are just a few of the challenges you face.

The Shotstack Serve API allows you to make your media assets available immediately, through your preferred hosting provider. Currently we have integrations in place with AWS and Mux or you can choose to use Shotstack for hosting.

It would have taken a lot of research on what technologies we needed to leverage technically for us to achieve the desired outcome. This would have taken at least two months of engineering time for a simple use case, and up to 6 months if the scope widened. Hector Zarate, Spotify

You could spend thousands of hours developing your own video editing API, increasing time to market and costing money.

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. Adam Chubbuck, Software Engineer
Shotstack was EXACTLY what I was looking for, and incredibly easy to get started with. You guys are killing it. Colin Plamondon, thebeam.fm
