About Video API Hub
Video API Hub is a video generation API for teams that need to produce videos programmatically. You describe a video as JSON and render it through the API, which the product calls deterministic, so the same definition gives the same pixel-exact result. Templates, animations and motion graphics are available, and it works with automation tools n8n, Zapier and Make.
The architecture uses asynchronous queues and presigned storage flows. Beyond the raw API, the site offers ready-made tools: Create Shorts takes a long video, uploaded or linked from Google Drive or a direct MP4, and cuts it into one to six captioned clips with selectable caption styles such as Neon Pop and TikTok White. A Prompt Video tool builds a full video from a described concept, including visuals, voiceover, music and captions, with themes, goals and audio moods to choose from. An AI Captions tool and documentation are also listed. New accounts get two free renders without a credit card.
