Renderly

Programmatic video rendering API that turns JSON template configs into rendered videos at

Visit Renderly

Renderly is a REST API for generating videos from JSON template configurations, aimed at producing personalized videos programmatically rather than through manual editing. Templates contain overlays marked as dynamic, which become named variables filled per render with text, images, video or audio, so a single design can be reused across many data rows.

The platform includes AI voiceover with twelve curated voices (plus Speechify voice IDs), auto-captions with per-word timings, a render preview endpoint that resolves a payload without rendering, and a hosted MCP server for AI agents. It integrates with Zapier, Make, and n8n (coming soon), and runs on Remotion for composition with AWS for the render fleet.

Renderly is packaged around a credit system where one credit equals one minute of 1080p video, with higher resolutions costing more. Plans include pay-as-you-go credits that never expire, monthly Creator and Business subscriptions with included credits and rollover, and a custom Enterprise tier with volume pricing, SSO/SAML, and an uptime SLA. AI voiceover and auto-captions draw from the same credit balance across all plans.
