FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Rendobar?
Rendobar is a serverless media processing API. You POST a job with your inputs, we run it on isolated cloud workers, and return the output by webhook or polling. No servers to provision, no containers to build, no scaling to manage. It is built for developers who need video processing without owning the compute.
What can I do with the Rendobar API today?
Four job types are live. Run any FFmpeg command for transcoding, trimming, concatenating, format conversion, scene detection, and metadata. Burn animated word-level captions onto a video, auto-transcribed and styled. Burn static subtitles from an SRT or VTT file. And generate styled QR codes. Managed watermarks and GDPR redaction are coming soon.
Do I need to manage any servers or infrastructure?
No. Rendobar handles provisioning, the media toolchain, sandbox isolation, scaling, and cleanup. Each job runs in an ephemeral container with protocol whitelisting and an automatic timeout. You send the job, and we handle input download, execution, output upload, and delivery.
Do you store or train on my media?
Your media stays yours. Each job runs in an ephemeral, sandboxed container that is destroyed when the job finishes, so inputs are not kept. Outputs are stored for 7 days on the free tier and 30 days on Pro, then removed. We do not train any models on your media.
What does Rendobar cost?
Billing is per job, based on compute time, usually a few cents per minute. The free tier includes $5 in one-time signup credits with no card required, and Pro adds monthly credits and a bonus on every top-up. Credits never expire. See rendobar.com/pricing for plans and credit packs.
Does Rendobar work with AI agents?
Yes. Rendobar is MCP-native. It ships a Model Context Protocol server with 6 tools, so Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-aware agents can submit and monitor media jobs as native tools. Authentication is via API key. See rendobar.com/docs/mcp for setup.
