Why creator platform breaks most video stacks

Three things this stack has to solve.

Per-tier signed playback

01

Free, paid, premium — same playback ID, different policy.

Subscription gating runs through signed playback URLs your auth service mints per tier. Revoke on subscription change via webhook from your billing system (Stripe Connect, RevenueCat).

Payout-grade view counts

02

Verified, fraud-aware sessions.

Per-session view counts via Video Data filter bots and replays so payouts are based on real engagement, not inflated metrics. Audit-log entries back every count.

DRM for premium tiers

03

Studio-grade content protection.

Widevine + FairPlay + PlayReady DRM on premium-tier playback URLs. License servers managed in the FastPix backend; you control the policy.

Build the next

Build the next Patreon, Substack, or OnlyFans-class creator suite.

Creator-economy platforms with subscription gating, payout analytics, and DRM-protected playback. App-class examples — teams build their own product on FastPix; we are the API layer underneath.

Subscription gating

Signed playback URLs per tier; revoke on churn. Your billing system fires the webhook, FastPix stops minting URLs.

Pay-per-view

Time-limited signed URLs for one-time purchases. URL TTL configurable per asset; access expires automatically.

Payout analytics

Verified, fraud-aware view counts via Video Data. Bot and replay filtering so creator payouts reflect real engagement.

DRM-protected

Widevine + FairPlay + PlayReady DRM for premium tiers. License servers managed in the FastPix backend; you control the policy.

What you build

These capabilities tie to per-tier playback + payout-grade analytics + premium-DRM jobs creator platforms ship.

Creator tier-gated access

Signed playback URLs with per-tier policy. Your auth service validates the user's tier before signing. Revoke on subscription change.

Signed playback

Creator content library + schedule

Asset metadata API to organize a content library at scale. custom_1 through custom_3 fields for your taxonomy. Bulk operations via API.

Catalog management

Creator subscription + multi-currency

Subscription gating

Payout-grade view analytics

Per-session view counts via Video Data filter bots and replays. Audit-log entries back every count so creator payouts reflect real engagement.
