Things your AI can do in Shotstack
Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Shotstack — on its own, without you needing to click a button.
Create Template (v2)
PopularTool to save an Edit as a re-usable template. Templates can be retrieved and modified before rendering. Use when you want to create a template with merge fields for dynamic content.
Get Asset
PopularTool to fetch details of a hosted asset by its unique identifier. Use when you need to retrieve information about videos, images, audio files, thumbnails, or poster images hosted on Shotstack's CDN.
Get Assets by Render ID
PopularTool to retrieve hosted assets by render ID. Use when you need to fetch one or more files (video, thumbnail, poster image) generated by a specific render job.
Get Render Status
PopularTool to retrieve the current status and details of a Shotstack render job by render ID. Use when polling a render until done or failed, typically after creating a render with SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO.
Get Template By Version
PopularTool to retrieve a template by template id and API version. Use when you need to fetch template details from a specific Edit API version.
Get Upload URL
PopularTool to request a signed URL for direct file upload to Shotstack. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that you use to upload the file using a PUT request with the binary file.
List Sources (with Environment)
PopularTool to list all ingested source files with environment selection. Use when you need to retrieve sources from stage (sandbox) or v1 (production) environment with optional pagination.
List Templates with Environment
PopularTool to list all Shotstack templates for the specified environment. Use when you need to retrieve templates from a specific environment (stage or production).
Request Upload URL
PopularTool to request a signed URL for direct file upload. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that expires in one hour.
Transfer Asset
PopularTool to transfer a file from any publicly available URL to one or more Serve API destinations. Use when you need to copy a file from an external source to Shotstack's hosting service or other configured destinations.
Update Template
PopularTool to update an existing template by its ID. Use when you need to modify a template's name or edit configuration. Both name and complete template definition must be provided.
Create Template
Tool to create a new template for video editing. Use when you want to save a reusable timeline configuration as a template. Template changes do not retroactively affect past renders.
Show 11 more things it can do
Delete Ingested Media
Tool to delete an ingested media asset. Use when you've confirmed the ingest ID and need to remove the file from Shotstack storage.
Delete Template
Tool to delete a specific Shotstack template by its ID. Use when you need to remove a template permanently.
Delete Shotstack Workflow
Tool to delete a specific Shotstack workflow. Use when you need to permanently remove a workflow after confirming its ID.
Fetch Source
Tool to fetch a remote media file and store it as a source asset. Operation is asynchronous — poll SHOTSTACK_GET_INGEST_STATUS or SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA until the asset is ready before passing it to SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO or other downstream tools. Use when you need to ingest a file before rendering.
Get Render Callback
Tool to retrieve the webhook/callback URL configuration for a specific render job. Returns only callback settings (URL, method, headers), not render status or output URLs — use a separate render-status check to obtain final results.
Get Source Details
Tool to fetch the details of a specific source asset. Use when you need to inspect a source after uploading, check its status, or diagnose ingest/render failures—such as unsupported codecs, corrupt files, or bad URLs—before retrying.
Get Template
Tool to retrieve details of a specific template. Use when you have the ID of an existing template and need its metadata.
Inspect Media
Tool to inspect media metadata. Use before rendering to retrieve duration, resolution, frame rate, and format of an online media file — clip timecodes, trim points, and audio sync calculations depend on these values. Mixing assets without prior inspection can cause letterboxing, jitter, or audio sync issues in the final output.
List Sources
Tool to list all source assets. Use when you need to retrieve source entries with optional pagination.
List Templates
Tool to list all Shotstack templates for the account. Use after creating or updating templates to view your available templates.
Render Video
Tool to initiate a new video render job. Use when you have defined a timeline and output settings and want to start rendering.

Questions other Shotstack users had before signing up
Do I need to know how to code?
Not even a little. If you can use Shotstack today, you can set this up. You'll connect Shotstack, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.
Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?
Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.
Can I make it sound like me?
Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.
What if I want to take over a conversation?
You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.
Is my client data safe?
Yes. Your Shotstack login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Shotstack or delete everything any time.
What happens when Shotstack updates their app?
We handle it. When Shotstack adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.
How fast can I actually get this running?
Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Shotstack takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.
What is FormWise?
FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Shotstack — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.
Can I sell AI agents to my clients?
Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.
Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?
Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.
Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?
No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
