Features

One platform, every way to make video

Zvid turns a single JSON document into production-ready videos and images — with a visual editor, a developer API, templates that think, and integrations for every stack. Here's everything under the hood.

Create

Design every frame, your way

Build videos and images by hand in a visual editor, start from a ready-made template, or compose your own animated designs — then reuse them everywhere.

Visual Video Editor

A full multi-track timeline editor in the browser. Drag, split, and arrange clips, then render — or save the project as an API template.

Templates & Library

Hundreds of ready-made video and image templates across 23 categories. Open one in the editor, or render it with your own data via the API.

Design Studio

A visual designer for animated text and graphic overlays. Layer text, shapes, and images with 78 motion presets, then drop the design onto the canvas.

Stock Media & Uploads

Search royalty-free stock from Pexels, Pixabay, Unsplash, Giphy, and Jamendo, or upload your own — then drag it straight onto the canvas.

Image Rendering

Generate still images — thumbnails, banners, OG cards — from the same JSON that renders video. PNG, JPG, or WebP, with transparency, at 10 images per credit.

Automate

Turn one JSON project into a production line

A developer-first API that renders at scale: reusable templates, thousands of personalized variations per call, and callbacks so you never write a polling loop.

JSON Video API

Render a finished, hosted video from one authenticated POST. Send an inline JSON project or a template id and get back a job you can poll or get pinged about.

Templates, Variables & Logic

Save a project once, render it with different data forever. Placeholders, conditional scenes, and array iteration resolve server-side before validation.

Bulk Rendering

Fan one template out into up to 500 renders in a single call. Each item is validated and billed on its own, so one bad payload never sinks the batch.

Webhooks

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.

Polish

Production quality, expressed as data

Cinematic transitions, motion, animated captions, and audio — the finishing touches that usually need a timeline, all driven by the same JSON.

Transitions & Effects

44 cinematic FFmpeg transitions, plus Ken Burns motion, chroma key, color filters, crop, rounded corners, and rotation — all expressed as JSON.

Animations & Motion

Give any element an entrance and exit. 44 motion effects for elements, plus 78 studio presets for animated text — with per-letter stagger and easing.

Subtitles & Captions

Word-timed captions with 12 animated styles — karaoke, highlight, typewriter, pop, and more. Import SRT, VTT, ASS, or Whisper JSON, or author by hand.

Audio & Music

Layer multiple audio tracks with per-track volume, trim, speed, and fades. Pull royalty-free music from Jamendo or bring your own voice-over.

Shapes & Graphics

Hundreds of built-in vector shapes and icons across 11 categories — recolorable, gradient-aware, and rendered from clean SVG, no external assets.

Integrate

Fits the stack you already use

Drop Zvid into AI agents, no-code builders, and your own backend with an MCP server, community nodes, and typed SDKs — all speaking one shared schema.

MCP Server & AI Agents

A Model Context Protocol server exposes 30 Zvid tools to any AI agent — with schema-aware authoring and a free validation step so generated JSON renders first try.

n8n, Make & No-Code

Drag-and-drop Zvid into n8n and Make. Render from JSON or a template inside a workflow, validate payloads, and trigger scenarios on signed render events.

SDKs & Libraries

Official typed SDKs for Python and TypeScript. Queue renders, wait for results, and verify webhook signatures in a few lines, with typed errors throughout.

Platform

Built to run in production

Cloud projects, a dashboard, and transparent usage-based pricing that scales from your first test render to millions — with no watermark on any plan.

Dashboard & Projects

Manage cloud projects, track single and bulk renders, register webhooks and API keys, and watch credit usage — from a dashboard, or entirely over the API.

Hosting & Delivery

Every render is hosted for you on a global CDN and returned as a ready-to-use URL, with an automatic thumbnail and poster — no storage to wire up.

Credits & Fair Pricing

Usage-based credits with no surprises: one second of Full-HD video costs one credit, ten images cost one credit, and there’s no watermark on any plan.

Prefer to see it running?

Open the editor to build a project by hand, or send your first render through the API in a couple of lines. The Free plan needs no credit card.
