Adding RENDi as an audio-chunking option for a pipedream workflow, to keep workflows running at 256MB memory
Easy to use RENDi makes professional-grade video automation accessible to newcomers and creators
Oh this is such a good business idea. So much pain around FFmpeg in the cloud.

Chen Goldberg

Engineering Lead @ MediaFlow

RENDi completely changed how we handle video processing - it just works
Wasted all day to find out how to use FFmpeg on Vercel. Node.js is not supported by FFmpeg. Using binary also can't be used cuz it's too heavy to use on Vercel Functions. I felt I'm doomed, but soon found another solution. RENDi.dev. It's cloud-based FFmpeg API service.
I use RENDi.dev for this. I just throw in some JSON with inputs, audios, outputs, and the command. Boom💥- it does the heavy lifting.

Awesome tool, very easy to use. I love it, I use it for my chatapp to convert the documents to the right type of document, so WhatsApp accepts the format, and lets me send my media to my clients.

RENDi is exactly the part that was still missing in my Claude Code and n8n workflows. RENDi helped me integrate FFmpeg easily.
