Apply complex video processing workflows such as adding subtitles, overlays, or other transformations. 
import videodb
from videodb import SubtitleStyle

conn = videodb.connect(api_key="your_api_key")
coll = conn.get_collection()
video = coll.get_videos()[0]

# Add subtitles to video
subtitle_style = SubtitleStyle(
    background_color="#000000",
    text_color="#FFFFFF"
)
stream_url = video.add_subtitle(subtitle_style)

print(f"Video with subtitles: {stream_url}")
  • Supports multiple workflow types (subtitles currently implemented)
  • Workflows modify video stream without changing original
  • Subtitle style customization includes colors, positioning, and fonts
  • Returns new stream URL with applied workflow
  • Original video remains unchanged
