ClutchCut

Public API v1

A media-aware API for creating and queueing content.

Use ClutchCut from your own application or automation workflow: discover source media, start generation jobs, inspect results, approve outputs, and move finished content toward the social queue. API access is currently intended for approved early-access accounts.
