Shotstack is a privately owned company headquartered in Australia. Founded in 2020 with approximately 10 employees, the company reported $965,064 in revenue as of 2023. The company's main product is generative AI, functioning as a video developer platform used to power applications that create, automate, and personalize millions of data-driven videos.
Shotstack published a developer's guide on April 28, 2026, comparing FFmpeg, a free open-source toolkit for media processing, with video APIs, which are hosted rendering services for structured JSON payloads. Previously, on April 13, the company detailed the workings of an "agentic video editing pipeline," describing it as a multi-layer AI system designed to autonomously plan and produce finished videos without human intervention. This followed an April 12 outline for building an OpenClaw skill to generate rendered video directly from messages on platforms like Telegram or WhatsApp, bypassing dashboards or manual API calls. Earlier, on March 15, Shotstack presented an overview of video automation software, highlighting solutions for scalability challenges in generating large volumes of videos for personalized sales or social advertising. On March 11, the company explained the Constant Rate Factor (CRF) in FFmpeg, a useful option for video encoding that allows the encoder to target a specific quality.
Shotstack's customers primarily consist of media and TV services, software Development and real Estate companies. Examples of Shotstack's customers include Spotify, ETX Majelan and Habyt.
