FFmpeg vs Video API

If you're building video into a product, you'll hit this architecture decision: run FFmpeg yourself, or call a video API?

FFmpeg is the engine behind most of the web's video (YouTube, VLC, Chrome, OBS) and it's the right tool when you need full control. But shipping it in production means owning the whole system around it.

A managed video API hands you that layer so you can ship faster and personalize video at scale (think Spotify-Wrapped-style, 10,000+ renders).

This video breaks down the real trade-off and shows where Shotstack fits: a managed Video API with merge-field templates, integrations, and a Studio editor that writes the JSON for you.
