FastPix

Developer-friendly Video API for everything you need to build on-demand and live video into your application or page and to deliver on a global scale.

Quick heads up 👋

FastPix's official X account has moved from @FastPixHQ to @FastPix_HQ.

Everything else stays the same — same team, same posts, same product. See you over there.

Viewers get pause, rewind, and fast-forward, jump back to the start no matter when they joined live stream.

Enable DVR for your live stream:
→set enableDvrMode: true when creating the stream
→append ?dvrMode=true to the playback URL

One workflow. Three ways to add subtitles in multiple languages, depending on when files are ready.

Add a subtitle track during upload, or after the video is already live, or auto-generate one from the audio.

FastPix ships all three.

Everything Moodle's native video can't do, now one install away.

Real completion tracking, adaptive streaming, auto-captions, DRM. Shipped as a single plugin family, four modules deep.

Here is the FastPix × Moodle integration we built!

Adding video to Shopify without killing LCP:
→ auto-play throttled off main thread
→ player JS deferred, not blocking
→ CDN tuned for video segments
→ analytics that don't ping on every load

FastPix's stack is built for this.

Video playback bugs live in 4 places at once:
→ your player
→ CDN + segments
→ ABR ladder
→ device/codec

Debugging one at a time is a losing game.

FastPix Video Data attributes each per session.

Breaking-news video needs one pipeline, not five services.

FastPix wires the whole flow:
→ ingest → transcode → tag → publish
→ captions auto-generated on upload
→ multi-language subs in parallel
→ CMS webhook fires when playback is ready

https://t.co/N6F6clbGHJ

[FastPix @FastPixHQ]

Adding video to your CMS shouldn't be a rebuild.

FastPix drops in as:
→ upload webhook stores the asset
→ playback URL renders inline
→ analytics tied to your content model

Same schema, new capability.

Dropoff isn't a mystery. It's a data pipeline.

FastPix Video Data + ClickHouse:
→ any cohort, any dimension
→ joins with revenue + product tables
→ real-time alerts on any signal
→ ML features per session

The dashboard is a start, not a ceiling.

You can't fix what you can't see. Video needs QoE from day 1.

FastPix Video Data covers:
→ rebuffer per device
→ startup time per geo
→ ABR switching events
→ playback error attribution

One integration. No separate vendor.

AI in video isn't just captions. It's every downstream automation.

FastPix In-Video AI feeds:
→ auto-chapter markers per clip
→ multi-language caption tracks
→ multimodal search index
→ transcript-ready moderation

Each skips a manual step.

Multi-language subtitles on every video - one API, no separate vendor.

What FastPix handles:
→ caption generation from source audio
→ VTT tracks accepted per language
→ HLS/DASH manifest injection
→ player language selector

Full workflow:

Video downtime isn't your app. It's HTTP-tuned health checks.

What they miss:
→ segment latency by region
→ origin pull failures past TTL
→ HLS manifest corruption
→ DRM key delivery failures

Video needs video-aware health checks.

Live streams don't die on shaky networks. They die on assumptions.

4 knobs that decide survival:
→ encoder bitrate vs uplink
→ keyframe interval (recovery)
→ codec fallback for accel chokes
→ player buffer vs jitter

Each is a config, not a rewrite.

[FastPix @FastPixHQ]

Webhook bugs hide in the contract, not the handler.
Most video APIs don't document:

→ delivery order across retries
→ exactly-once semantics
→ signature freshness on replay
→ NACK behavior past 3 retries

If the spec is silent, you spec it in prod.

Indexing video by transcript alone is like searching code by comments.

You miss:
→ slides, diagrams, on-screen errors
→ logos in frame
→ untagged objects
→ text overlays

Multimodal catches all four. Transcript is the floor, not the ceiling.

The hardest video bugs aren't in your code.

They're in CDN logs you never read- origin pulls, edge cache misses, Safari range requests.

QoE dashboard says rebuffering jumped, app code didn't change? Start here.

Self-hosting FFmpeg in 2026 is a maintenance tax, not a feature.

What you actually run:
→ codec lib upgrades every quarter
→ GPU driver matrix tests
→ encoding queue management
→ retry semantics nobody wrote down

A managed video API kills all four.

Most e-commerce teams budget for encoding and forget about egress.

The bill spikes when one product video goes viral, not when traffic grows slowly.
