Design once. After that, every new video is just a row of data.
Build the video once in a full timeline editor — text, media, music, transitions.
Every project is a structured payload you can inspect, version, and generate from code.
Swap any text, image, or clip for a variable. Conditions and iterations add logic.
Rows from your app, CSV, or CRM fill the variables — one row per video.
Up to 500 personalized videos from a single API call, delivered by webhook.
Edit JSON with instant validation and clear error highlights, so you can fix issues fast.
curl -L 'https://api.zvid.io/api/render/bulk/api-key'
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-H 'x-api-key: <x-api-key>'
-d '{
"template": "tpl_summerSaleProduct001",
"items": [
{ "variables": { "product": "Aria", "price": "$149" } },
{ "variables": { "product": "Bolt", "price": "$39" } },
{ "variables": { "product": "Coda", "price": "$89" } }
],
"webhookUrl": "https://your-app.com/hooks/render"
}'
Every saved template is a programmable endpoint. Pass different variables with each request, fire one bulk call for hundreds of personalized videos, and let webhooks deliver the finished files back to your app — the same API also renders single videos and still images. Integrate once, then scale output with your data, not your headcount.
Design the video once — in the editor or straight in JSON — then swap any text, image, or clip for a {{ variable }}. Save it and it gets a template id.
One bulk call renders up to 500 personalized videos — one per row of variables. Every item is validated and billed on its own, so a bad row never sinks the batch.
No polling loops. The moment each render finishes, an HMAC-signed callback hands your app the MP4 — ready to publish, email, or ship to your users.
Everything you need to turn a single JSON project into a production pipeline — no timelines, no manual exports, no polling.
Save any project as a reusable template, then pass different variables with every request. Conditions switch scenes on and off, iterations expand one array into many scenes — all resolved server-side before validation.
Turn one API call into up to 500 videos. Every item is validated and billed on its own, so a single bad payload never sinks the rest of the batch — and the dashboard lets you fix and resubmit failures.
Skip the polling loop. Zvid calls your endpoint the moment a render completes or fails, with every delivery HMAC-signed so you can verify it came from us. Register endpoints once or override the URL per request.
The same JSON that renders video renders stills. Generate thumbnails, banners, and social cards from one pipeline — PNG, JPG, or WebP, with transparency — and each image costs a single credit.
Up to 3.9× faster in our tests, with measured speedups of 1.33×, 2.1×, and 3.9× across three anonymous competitors. Results depend on the workload.

FFmpeg powers Zvid’s rendering pipeline, combining scenes, visual effects, and audio into the finished video described by your project.
Launch campaigns across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and beyond — simultaneously. Use platform-optimized presets to auto-publish perfectly formatted videos at scale, without touching a timeline.
Power your AI video product with a battle-tested rendering engine. Integrate via API to handle thousands of concurrent renders, letting you focus on your model — not your infrastructure.
Turn your product catalog into a video engine. Auto-generate ads, promos, and product reels at scale — dynamically injecting SKUs, prices, and visuals straight from your data feed.
Ship entire course libraries without manual editing. Automatically sync captions, animations, and visual cues to narration — so you can go from script to published lesson in minutes, not days.
Turn your inventory feed into a video showroom. Auto-generate a polished listing video for every vehicle on the lot — make, model, price, and photos injected straight from your DMS or spreadsheet.
Run video production for dozens of clients from a single pipeline. Build white-label video tools, automate campaign delivery, and eliminate render bottlenecks — all through one API.
Catch schema, data, and layout defects before render credits are spent with Zvid validation, template previews, edge-case data, and one test render.

A video generation API lets software create videos programmatically instead of a person editing them by hand. You send structured input — JSON describing scenes, text, media, and audio — and get back a rendered video file as output. Zvid adds templates, variables, bulk rendering, and webhooks on top, turning video creation into a programmatic workflow: one design can generate videos for every row of your data.
AI video generation models such as OpenAI’s Sora, Google’s Veo, or Runway generate videos from text — a simple text prompt in, synthetic footage out. Zvid is the production layer around that: a rendering pipeline that assembles clips, images, text, and music into on-brand, editable videos. Many teams pair the two — generate raw footage with an AI video generator, then use Zvid’s API to cut it into branded, personalized output at scale.
Any use case where videos should come from data: personalized onboarding videos per user, product videos straight from a catalog, localized ads for every market, short video content for social media from a spreadsheet — or thumbnails and images rendered from the same JSON. If your app knows the inputs, Zvid renders the output, with no video editing tool in the loop.
Any of them. Clips from text-to-video generation and image-to-video models — OpenAI Sora 2, Google Veo 3 and Veo 3.1 via the Gemini API, Runway, Kling, MiniMax — drop into a Zvid project as ordinary video elements referenced by URL, right next to existing video you already host. The model provides the cinematic quality AI-generated footage; Zvid assembles it with your brand assets into a finished, captioned video.
Output mp4, mov, webm, or avi at 1–60 fps, at any aspect ratio — 9:16 vertical for short-form social media content, square, or widescreen from 720p through 1080p Full HD and beyond, with width and height as explicit parameters. Preview everything in the video editor before you spend a render.
Zvid advertises render pricing up to $0.015/min. Actual costs depend on your selected plan or credit pack, resolution, and usage. Failed renders are not charged. Every plan includes API access, the timeline editor, templates, bulk rendering, and webhooks; compare the plan limits and worked examples before choosing.
Compare pricing and render costsNo. Design in the timeline editor, render from the dashboard, or trigger videos from no-code tools like n8n and Make.com. Developers get the same power through the REST API and SDKs that make it easy to integrate, and an MCP server lets AI agents plan and generate videos from a plain-language prompt.
