How do I get a Creatomate API Key?

Log in to your Creatomate account, select your project, and navigate to **Project Settings > API Keys** to generate a secret key.

Can I provide dynamic text for videos?

Yes, you can use the 'modifications' parameter in the render_video tool to swap text, images, or colors defined in your template.

What is the rendering time?

Rendering time depends on video length and complexity, but Creatomate is optimized for speed. You can use the get_render_status tool to check when it's done.
