Fetch Source
Tool to fetch a remote media file and store it as a source asset. Operation is asynchronous — poll SHOTSTACK_GET_INGEST_STATUS or SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA until the asset is ready before passing it to SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO or other downstream tools. Use when you need to ingest a file before rendering.

Get Ingest Status (Deprecated)
DEPRECATED: Use SHOTSTACK_GET_SOURCE instead. Tool to retrieve the status and details of an ingested media asset. Poll until the asset status is 'ready' before using it in SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO; rendering against an unprocessed asset causes missing clips or failed renders.
ActionTry it
Get Render Callback
Tool to retrieve the webhook/callback URL configuration for a specific render job. Returns only callback settings (URL, method, headers), not render status or output URLs — use a separate render-status check to obtain final results.

ActionTry it
Inspect Media
Tool to inspect media metadata. Use before rendering to retrieve duration, resolution, frame rate, and format of an online media file — clip timecodes, trim points, and audio sync calculations depend on these values. Mixing assets without prior inspection can cause letterboxing, jitter, or audio sync issues in the final output.
