MediaRuntime
One API for video, audio, and images: transcode and deliver
Process video, audio, and images through one asynchronous API. Generate playback formats, HLS, transcripts, previews, moderation reports, and branded outputs.
Hey community — I’ve been building MediaRuntime, an asynchronous media-processing API for developers, and I’m finally at the stage where I’d value outside feedback.
The problem I wanted to solve was the amount of infrastructure that normally grows around media processing: FFmpeg scripts, queues, storage conventions, retries, webhook delivery, billing estimates, and inconsistent output paths.
With MediaRuntime, one job can request several related outputs—for example:
- Video renditions, HLS or DASH
- Audio conversion and transcription
- Posters, thumbnails and contact sheets
- Image derivatives and loading placeholders
- Audiograms and waveform data
- Compatibility and forensic media reports
- QR and barcode detection
- Moderation and image privacy redaction
Instead of treating every artifact as a separate result, the completed job returns one ZIP bundle containing the requested output tree and client-safe metadata.
There’s also:
- A browser-authenticated CLI that accepts local file paths
- Node.js and Python SDKs
- Go and PHP HTTP quickstarts
- Hosted/versioned processing recipes
- Signed terminal webhooks
- A public OpenAPI document
You can run a real job without creating an account here:

I’m also offering **$10 in processing credit** so developers can test their own media workloads:
**Developer promotion:** MR-4Y8ZA-QN4GP-VKV2Y-EK4PW
If you try it, I would especially appreciate feedback about the job API, preset discoverability, ZIP-bundle model, documentation, pricing clarity, or any workflow that feels difficult to express.
**Feedback form:** https://mediaruntime.com/develop...
This is self-promotion—I built the product—but I’m sharing it because I’d genuinely like technical feedback from developers who work with media, uploads, storage, background jobs, or API integrations.
