My overall experience with Shotstack has been fantastic. The product is amazing and it exactly addresses our needs of generation movies based our input medias and instructions. The support has been super helpful as well, as we always get timely responses from the team. Lastly, the price is also very reasonable. We hope to establish long term strategic relationship with this company and grow our products together.

Pros

Shotstack product architecture is clean and service API is well documented and very comprehensive. We can easily consume the services and receive the expected outcome

Cons

There are three languages support available. I would still hope to see Python API becoming available at some point as our product is developed using Python.

We came across Shotstack in Jan 2020 when we were looking for a simple video processing SaaS. They charged for only what was used (at the time), the API had good examples and was straight forward to setup, there was a sandbox that was easy to access and most importantly dev support was quick and helpful. Once our integration was setup we could leave it do it's thing and have not had any real problems since.

Pros

Clear examples, with logical process to build the video and no fuss, plus there was an easy to use sandbox mode to test beforehand (no complicated setups). Most importantly dev support was quick and helpful even when my initial understanding was clearly of an amateur.

Cons

Inability to get stills from the video (at the time - may have changed since).
It would be nice if the videos could be processed instantaneously rather than having to pre-render the video (that way we could make bespoke videos for prospective clients on the fly).

No-frills, but powerful video editing API

Reviewed on 2021/10/12

Pros

Shotstack enabled us to roll our own online video editing tool for our customers to easily design marketing videos with a custom drag and drop interface. We’ve had great success using shotstacks APIs, and intend to use them for multiple new projects.

Cons

The positioning features in the API are a bit clunky. Not a huge fan of the anchor system.
