Shotstack Features
Shotstack uses a timeline-based approach that lets you control where each piece of video content appears. Think of it like building a video step by step. You can cut, trim, and place clips exactly where you want them. It’s all done using code, so that developers can automate the entire process.
See How It WorksWith Shotstack, you can stack as many clips, images, or text layers as you want. You’re not limited to just one or two video layers. This means you can overlay subtitles, logos, music, or effects on top of your base video without restrictions, making your videos more dynamic and custom.
See How It WorksShotstack supports a wide range of media types. You can combine videos, images, audio, music, sound effects, text, and even HTML elements. This makes it easy to produce complex, rich videos that include everything from animated titles to custom graphics, all utilizing different media within a single, seamless workflow.
See How It WorksInstead of manually uploading assets, you can provide the URL of any video, image, or audio file. Shotstack will fetch and process it for use in your video project. This feature is especially helpful when you’re dealing with large volumes of media or content hosted in the cloud.
See How It WorksShotstack makes it possible to work with transparent videos and images. You can create smooth transitions and overlays using alpha channels in formats like PNG or MOV. You can also control the opacity of different layers, which gives you precise control over how visual elements appear and blend in.
