Why generative AI video breaks most video stacks

Three things this stack has to solve.

Direct-from-URL ingest

POST the generated clip URL, no re-upload.

Your AI generation pipeline produces a clip URL; FastPix pulls it directly and encodes for delivery. No round-trip through your servers, no re-upload latency.

POST { url }

✓ encoded · ready

your serversdirect pull · no re-upload

Auto-thumbnails for preview grids

Generated clips ready for galleries.

Thumbnails, sprite sheets, and animated GIFs generated automatically per asset. Useful for the gallery UI where users pick the best output from N generations.

Embed anywhere

iframe, React component, native SDKs.

Generated clips embed via iframe, the FastPix React component, or native iOS/Android views. Shareable URLs with optional signed-policy gating for premium tiers.

Auto-thumbnails

Generate preview grids automatically for clip galleries. Sprite sheets, animated GIFs, and still frames per asset.

Compare A/B clips

Side-by-side playback for users picking the best output from N generations. Synchronized timeline across clips.

Embed anywhere

Playback URL + iframe + React component for shareable clips. Native iOS / Android views. Signed-policy gating for premium tiers.

Questions this team asks

Generative AI video platform questions, answered.

How much does AI video infrastructure cost?
FastPix charges per-minute across encoded, delivered, and stored minutes. Delivery starts under $0.001 / min. Free trial covers 10 videos + 100K streaming minutes + AI samples. See full pricing.
How much does it cost to deliver a 1-minute AI-generated video?
One minute of 1080p Pro delivery starts at about $0.00067. Add encoding and storage minutes for the full per-clip cost. See the pricing page for tier-by-tier breakdowns.
How do I ingest a generated clip without re-uploading it?
POST the clip URL directly to /v1/on-demand. FastPix pulls the source from your generation pipeline, encodes, and exposes a playback ID. No multi-part upload needed. Video on Demand.
What is an AI video webhook?
A signed HTTP callback FastPix fires when an asset event occurs — encoding ready, moderation flagged, captions complete, view event recorded. Use webhooks to advance your generation pipeline or trigger downstream UI. See the developer docs.
Can I run moderation on every AI-generated clip?
Yes. On-upload NSFW + policy detection via In-Video AI. Threshold tuneable per category, webhook on flag, audit-log entry per decision.
How do I generate preview thumbnails for a clip gallery?
Thumbnails, sprite sheets, and animated GIFs are generated automatically per asset on encode. Pull from the asset's static image URLs — no separate API call needed.
How do I show A/B comparisons of generated clips?
Use two FastPix Player instances with synchronized timelines. The player API exposes play / pause / seek so you can keep both clips in lockstep for side-by-side comparison.
How does per-clip analytics work?
Video Data captures per-clip view, completion, and replay events. Tag each asset with custom_1: generation_id and custom_2: model_name so you can slice retention by generation or model in the dashboard.
Do you support live and VOD on the same API?
Yes. Live streams auto-write to VOD assets on the same playback ID — same player, same analytics, same URL before and after the event. Live Streaming.
What SDKs do you ship?
7 server SDKs (Node, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, PHP, .NET), iOS / Android / Flutter / React Native client SDKs, plus the Web Player.
How do I migrate from another provider?
See FastPix vs AWS Elemental, FastPix vs Vimeo, and FastPix vs Kaltura.
