Shotstack
Shotstack programmatic video rendering
Shotstack is the programmatic video API — describe a video as JSON (clips, audio tracks, transitions, soundtracks) and Shotstack renders the MP4 in the cloud. Tiny Command exposes six actions, no triggers: Render Video (submit a JSON Edit object, returns a render ID), Render From Template (the same call but referencing a saved Template ID with merge fields — the pattern most teams use for per-customer personalised videos at scale), Get Render Status (poll until done; returns the URL of the finished MP4 when ready), List Templates, List Assets (uploaded source media stored on Shotstack), and Get Asset. The connection uses a Shotstack API key with environment toggle (stage vs production — stage is free and watermarks output, production is paid and clean). The standard pattern: Render From Template with merge data (customer name, image URL, voice-over) → wait 30–90 seconds → poll Get Render Status → use the finished URL downstream. Render latency depends on duration and complexity; 30-second videos typically finish in under 2 minutes on production.
Do anything Shotstack can do, from a workflow.
Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Shotstack Get Asset | Returns metadata for an asset (uploaded video, image, audio) stored in Shotstack. Useful for resolving asset IDs at workflow setup. |
| Shotstack Get Render Status | Polls a render by ID; returns the finished MP4 URL when complete. Configure callback URL on Render Video for production push notification. |
| Shotstack List Assets | Returns paginated assets in the account. Useful for inventory and for cleanup workflows. |
| Shotstack List Templates | Returns the saved template catalog. Useful for resolving template IDs at workflow setup when using Render From Template. |
| Shotstack Render From Template | Fires a template-driven render with merge variables. For "personalised video per customer from CSV" or other repeatable video-generation workflows. |
| Shotstack Render Video | Submits a JSON Edit (timeline, clips, transitions) and renders to MP4. For workflows that compose videos programmatically vs using a template. |

Three things worth knowing.
Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.
Connect Shotstack once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.
Every Shotstack field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
