HOW ZVID WORKS
One project becomes a production pipeline
Design once. After that, every new video is just a row of data.
Design in the editor
Build the video once in a full timeline editor — text, media, music, transitions.
It compiles to JSON
Every project is a structured payload you can inspect, version, and generate from code.
Save it as a template
Swap any text, image, or clip for a variable. Conditions and iterations add logic.
| Product | Image | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Aria Desk | aria.jpg | $149 |
| Bolt Lamp | bolt.jpg | $39 |
| Coda Chair | coda.jpg | $89 |
Feed it your data
Rows from your app, CSV, or CRM fill the variables — one row per video.
Render at scale
Up to 500 personalized videos from a single API call, delivered by webhook.
Editor
A Full Video Editor in Your Browser
Arrange clips on a multi-track timeline, add text and audio, and preview your video as you edit — all in your browser.

Your Template Is an API Endpoint
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.
Turn a project into a template
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.
POST your data to it
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.
Webhooks deliver every video
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.
AUTOMATION
One Template. A Thousand Renders.
Everything you need to turn a single JSON project into a production pipeline — no timelines, no manual exports, no polling.
Templates, Variables & Logic
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.
Bulk Rendering
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.
Webhooks
Receive a notification when a render completes or fails. Registered webhooks are HMAC-signed. Per-request webhookUrl callbacks are unsigned; retrieve the job with your API key before trusting the notification.
Image Rendering
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.

FAQ
Video generation API, answered
The short version of everything people ask before their first render.
What is a video generation API? +
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.
How is Zvid different from AI video generators like Sora or Veo? +
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.
What can I build with the API? +
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.
Which AI video models does Zvid work with? +
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.
What formats and resolutions can I render? +
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.
How much does the video generation API cost? +
Zvid advertises render pricing starting at $0.015/min on custom Enterprise plans. 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 costsDo I need to write code to use Zvid? +
No. 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.
