Design & Media

What the Shotstack connector can do

Shotstack automates video, image, and audio production from JSON timelines or saved templates, at a scale a design team couldn't manage by hand. A type.com Space can ask the agent to save a reusable template, clean up an ingested asset that's no longer needed, or remove an old workflow, directly from a thread.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Shotstack once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Shotstack

Can Claude manage video templates with Shotstack?

Yes. With Shotstack connected to a Space, the agent can create templates, clean up ingested media, and remove old workflows directly from a thread.

How is Shotstack authenticated in type.com?

Shotstack uses an API key, added once by an admin on the connection, so creative team members don't manage their own credentials.

Can Shotstack cleanup tasks run on a schedule?

Yes. Set up a type.com automation that reviews ingested media or templates periodically, and the agent reports what it finds to a channel.

Is this the same as a Shotstack MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
