What it does
Shotstack Workflows is a visual, no-code builder for media applications and workflows, aimed at marketers and developers. Workflows range from simple tasks such as file conversion or watermarking to video editing driven by generative AI. The site says you can combine generative AI providers without installing SDKs or writing code, and names OpenAI, Stability AI, HeyGen, Elevenlabs and D-ID. Built-in tools include text-to-image, text-to-speech and a GPT-4 text generator, so no separate sign-ups are needed to get started. Runs can be triggered in bulk from batch-processed CSV files, or from other tools through a webhook. Finished media can be delivered through AWS, Google Cloud, Mux or Shotstack's own CDN. The page sits within the wider Shotstack platform, which also lists a video editing API, a Studio video editor, JSON templates, SDKs and a white-label editor. It says new users can start free in an unlimited developer sandbox with no credit card.
