FAQ

Questions Shotstack owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI automatically check the progress of a video render just by providing its ID?

    Yes! Use the get_render_status capability with the Render ID. Your agent will respond with the current status (e.g., 'rendering', 'done') and the final video URL if completed.

  • 02

    How do I list all my available cloud video templates?

    Simply ask the agent to run the list_templates action. It will retrieve the full catalog of video templates configured in your Shotstack account.

  • 03

    How do I find my Shotstack API Key?

    Log in to your Shotstack dashboard and navigate to the API Keys section. You will find both Stage and Production keys there.
