Is your content production limited by render times?

Generative AI has solved the content creation problem. You can now generate scripts, images, and voiceovers instantly. But compiling those assets into finished videos is a different story.

Manual editing tools can't keep up with AI speed and the demand for video content. You need to turn a spreadsheet of 10,000 prompts into 10,000 videos? Clicking "export" manually for every single file is impossible. You need a video infrastructure that scales alongside your AI models.

The Engine for AI Bulk Video Generation

Shotstack is the rendering backbone for your ai bulk video generator workflow. We provide the "assembly line" that takes your AI-generated assets and turns them into broadcast-ready visuals.

  • Generate Assets: Use your favorite AI tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, ElevenLabs) to create scripts, images, and audio.
  • Send to API: Pass these assets to Shotstack via a simple JSON loop.
  • Render in Bulk: Our cloud infrastructure spins up parallel renderers to process thousands of videos simultaneously.

AI-driven video automation platform

Build with LLMs & MCP

We now offer a dedicated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, and Copilot. This integration bridges the gap between your IDE and Shotstack’s rendering engine, enabling your AI agents to scaffold complete video pipelines without leaving the editor.

The benefit: By standardizing how your AI interacts with our API, we remove the guesswork. Your coding assistant gains native awareness of our JSON schemas, asset management rules, and webhook structures. This allows you to generate error-free, functional video workflows in seconds, eliminating the need to manually wire up integrations or debug hallucinated code.

Frequently asked questions

Is Shotstack an AI tool or a video tool?

Shotstack is a video editing and rendering API. We are the infrastructure that builds the video. However, our video automation platform is designed to work seamlessly with AI tools. You use tools like OpenAI or Stability AI to create the content (text/images), and then you use Shotstack to assemble that content into a final video format (MP4) in bulk.

How do I build a bulk video generator AI with Python?

It's a simple three-step loop.

Iterate: Use Python to loop through your data source (CSV/Database). Generate: Inside the loop, call your AI APIs (e.g., openai.Completion.create) to get the content. Render: Pass that content into a Shotstack JSON payload and send a POST request to our API. We have specific Python tutorials in our documentation to get you started.

Can I automate subtitles for bulk videos?

Yes. You can either generate the subtitles using an AI transcription service (like Whisper) or, if you already have the script, simply pass the text into the Shotstack API. Our engine can overlay the text, animate it (e.g., karaoke style), and ensure it is perfectly synced with the audio track for thousands of videos at once.

What is the cost per video for bulk generation?

Bulk generation is significantly cheaper than manual production. Our pricing model is based on the duration of the video rendered, not the number of API calls. This makes us an extremely cost-effective solution for a bulk video generator ai, allowing you to scale from hundreds to millions of videos without breaking your budget.
