FAQ
Answers, before you ask.
What video sources does Blastoff support?+
YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram (Reels and posts). We handle the download, cookie walls, and bot detection — you just paste a link.
Do I need my own ffmpeg or yt-dlp?+
No — they ship with the hosted product. If you self-host, set YT_DLP_BIN and FFMPEG_BIN to your installed binaries.
Which AI provider powers clip ranking?+
You can bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key, or use the included scoring engine on hosted plans. Switch between them by setting CLIPPING_LLM_PROVIDER.
How long does a typical video take?+
A 30-minute long-form usually returns the top 10 ranked candidates in under 4 minutes, including caption generation. Render time depends on output length.
Can I use Blastoff for client work?+
Yes. The Studio plan adds multi-seat workspaces, webhooks, and a REST API designed for embedding into agency workflows.
