Tellers for developers

Add video workflows to your product.

Upload media, find the right moments, build an edit and render the result through the Tellers API. Keep the composition as an editable timeline.

  • API and CLI
  • Open timeline format
  • Preview before rendering

Example integration workflow

“Take an uploaded interview, find a useful excerpt, add captions, and return a vertical video with its editable timeline.”

Ask for an editable first cut, then make it yours.

What you can do

Focus on the product you’re building.

Connect the editing workflow

Use Tellers for media analysis, search, agent-assisted editing and rendering in your application.

Keep the composition explicit

Store and revise the open, OTIO-based timeline format instead of keeping only a finished video file.

Preview before you render

Review the timeline in the player and refine it before requesting the final output.

How it works

From your source
to your next video.

For the example above

  • Searchable source media
  • A timeline you can revise
  • A rendered video
  1. Choose an integration

    Use the API for your product, the CLI for local workflows, or MCP to give an agent access to Tellers.

  2. Build the editing flow

    Upload source media, search for relevant moments and create or revise the timeline. Follow the documented endpoints and examples.

  3. Preview and render

    Inspect the composition, request the render and use the documented progress handling in your application.

You keep creative control

A managed service. An editable timeline.

Your app can store and revise the composition. Explore the API reference and timeline format to see how they fit your workflow.

Video creation features, highlight workflows, searchable media libraries and automated editing pipelines. The API documentation covers supported operations and request formats.

What is tellers-timeline?

It is an open-source, OTIO-based format for video compositions. It describes media, timing and tracks so software can create, store and revise edits.

Can I connect an AI agent?

Yes. Tellers offers an MCP integration as well as the API and CLI. Use the integration that fits how your agent runs.
