Vidova Platform · Video rendering API

Render video from code. On GPUs, in seconds.

Send a film as XML or TypeScript. Vidova renders it on cloud GPUs and gives you an MP4. A one-minute 1080p film is ready in 13.5 seconds, for $0.06.

Benchmark

Faster on the same GPU

The same 1080p films, rendered by Vidova and by Remotion on the same GPU. Shorter bars are faster.

Text cardsA new title every 2 seconds. Simple text, the light case.

Animated shapes80 rounded cards with shadows that move, turn and fade on every frame. The heavy case.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Vidova Platform?

An API that renders videos from code. You send a film, add your media and motion graphics, and ask for a render. Vidova gives you a download link to the MP4.

How fast is it?

Through the API, a one-minute 1080p film was ready in 13.5 s and a five-minute 1080p film in 60.0 s. On the same GPU, Vidova rendered one-minute films 2.7× faster than Remotion or more.

How much does it cost?

You pay per second of output: $0.025 a minute at 540p, $0.04 at 720p and $0.06 at 1080p. A still frame costs $0.002. Credits come in packs from $10. There are no seats, no licence fee and no monthly minimum.

Do I need my own GPUs or servers?

No. Vidova runs the GPUs. You call the API from your server with a key, or use the TypeScript or Python SDK.
