What is Vidiking?

Vidiking is a video automation API and content operations platform for agencies, developers and media businesses. Render video, image and audio at production scale through a Shotstack-compatible REST API, with native n8n, Zapier and Make integrations — then orchestrate the whole production operation (requests, workflows, approvals, sprints, teams) on top.

Generation is pay-as-you-go — no subscription, no monthly fees, pay only for what you render. The Manage workspace is a plan.

Two ways to use Vidiking​

  1. The rendering & generation API (this section of the docs) — programmatic video editing, AI image/video/voice generation, templates and SDKs. Pay-as-you-go: credits are spent only when you render or generate, and there's no subscription.
  2. The Content Operations platform — a Jira-meets-MS-Project-meets-Zapier layer for running a content team: tickets (Requests), drag-and-drop Workflows with approval gates, Sprints, a Planner/Gantt, Team & Roles, an AI Project Manager, and a Workflow Marketplace. The Manage workspace runs on a Basic / Silver / Gold plan (each includes monthly credits); AI generation is pay-as-you-go on top. See Content Operations.

Who is Vidiking for?​

Developers & Agencies​

Build custom media workflows for clients. Stitch clips, add AI voiceovers, generate subtitles, and render polished output through a single Shotstack-compatible API — then manage client work as Requests with approval gates and reporting.

SaaS Builders​

Embed video and image generation directly into your product. Let your users create personalized videos, dynamic social content, or branded marketing assets without leaving your app.

Marketing & Content Teams​

Automate repetitive video production. Generate hundreds of product videos, social clips, or ad variations from templates and data feeds — and run the team's pipeline end to end with Workflows, Sprints and a Planner.

No-Code Users​

Use the Timeline Studio visual editor at vidiking.com/studio to build videos with a drag-and-drop canvas, AI components, and real-time cost tracking — no code required.

Pay-As-You-Go Pricing (USD)​

Generation uses a simple wallet system. Deposit funds, and each operation deducts a known USD amount. No subscription required to generate, no hidden fees. (The Manage workspace is billed separately on a plan — see Content Operations.)
