Overview

Description

Shotstack is an API tool that empowers developers to create Dynamic Apps at scale with a video editing API that powers apps that create, automate and personalize videos. It is a simple and intuitive tool where users can quickly build applications by leveraging their data and content along with the tech stack that they need. As videos are edited, they can be posted to the Shotstack Cloud API where the render farm fetches and edits the assets. Eventually, all relevant data is merged and videos are rendered. Users can finally download the videos in the format of their choice while also choosing the resolution. They can also create slideshows from uploaded images, online galleries or photobooth software. And with personalized greeting messages, users can increase the engagement amongst their customers.
