    Overview

    Play video

    Editing videos in the cloud has never been easier! OpenShot Cloud API is a REST-based framework, which allows videos to be created, edited, transcoded, animated, and much more! It can be quickly integrated into websites, mobile applications, desktop applications, and just about any programming language which supports HTTP requests.

    OpenShot Cloud API is designed as a private cloud, which you manage yourself. Run a single EC2 instance (using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud), or scale up to hundreds of servers. Each new instance you bring online becomes a new video render "worker", allowing smooth scaling without any complex architecture changes.

    Audio transcriptions can be created for any file easily using our powerful AI, and captions can be added to any clips where you need text displayed on top of the video.

    Highlights

    • Powerful Video Editing: Full video editing feature set, including transitions, effects, key frame animations, compositing, watermarking, audio mixing, and more!
    • 100% in the Cloud: Edit videos with a simple RESTful interface! Videos are uploaded, edited, and then downloaded back to your app or website. Easy in and easy out!
    • Create Templates: Easily create video templates in OpenShot Video Editor, our award-winning free, open-source desktop video editor!

    Incredible product

    Reviewed on Apr 03, 2021
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    I've launched an app. I'm using the OpenShot API to stitch together user submitted videos, which has been working great so far. OpenShot customer support is also immensely helpful and very responsive. They've gone the extra mile when I've hit road blocks - my team and I greatly appreciate that kind of support.

    Five stars. Excellent customer support. Excellent product.

    Fantastic Product - 100% Recommended

    Simply put, the OpenShot Cloud API is an incredible product and if you are looking to programmatically create complex videos then I implore you to give it a whirl.

    Given the mammoth effort it would require for us to build out an internal equivalent the subscription is very well priced.

    It's allowed me to create our product proof of concept and get in front of early customers in ultra quick time - something critical for our business.

    Thank you to all involved so far with this product - I hope it has many years ahead as a successful business.

    Review from a verified AWS customer

    Openshot is a great API for creating and editing videos.
    Its so easy to get started with. If you have a question at some point or any other problem with the API you can get great support from Openshot.

    So glad I went with Openshot.

    What do you like best about the product?
    Welcome to one of the best and most complex video editors I have known. This program offers a wide variety of animations and enhancements that we can apply to our videos in order to improve their quality or establish animations in them. Openshot is one of the best because it supports many types of formats, making it the most correct choice for editing your videos and uploading them to your social networks or your YouTube channel. Its handling and interface are very easy to understand and use. In addition to that, you can apply effects such as digital video effects, including brightness, gamma, hue, grayscale, chroma keying (green or blue screen), and 20 other effects.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    This editor has more pros than cons, although one of its disadvantages is that it requires a computer with very good specifications, it requires a minimum of 4GB of RAM and consumes a lot of memory from our hard drive, taking away the opportunity or possibility to install other programs on our computer.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Improve my videos before uploading them to my social networks and my YouTube channel, making them more attractive and thus catching the public's attention and attracting people to visit my channel and watch and enjoy my videos.
    Recommendations to others considering the product:
    It is advisable to use this wonderful program to edit and perfect your videos, fix brightness and sharpness details to offer higher quality to the people who will visit my YouTube channel and my social networks where I publish them.

    Awesome product + awesome support and documentation

    Reviewed on Sep 16, 2019
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    I've used OpenShot desktop app quite a few times in the past years.
    I started working on video project (soon to be lunched) and got very gladly surprised when I found out about OpenShot Cloud API.

    First, I liked their powerful features, then the documentation. So after that, I decided to give it a try. It was a breezy to start developing using their AMI/API. But even with a good API and good documentation, sometimes we might need a helping hand, and every time I needed help, I got a fast and 100% effective response.

    Besides all these good things about OpenShot Cloud API, it feels good to support OpenShot Project.

    Keep up the excellent work!
