Statamic Video Tools v1.0.0

A complete video toolkit for Statamic — encode, stream, transcribe, and display videos entirely on your own server. No third-party transcoding services, no monthly fees, no data leaving your infrastructure.

What's included

  • Multi-format encoding — AV1/WebM, H.264/MP4, HEVC/MP4, HLS adaptive streaming, and fully custom presets
  • AI transcription via whisper.cpp — generates VTT, SRT, TXT, formatted paragraphs, and word-level JSON automatically on upload
  • Poster & thumbnail — static JPEG poster extraction with Glide resizing; animated WebP thumbnails injected into the CP asset browser
  • {{ video }} tag + <x-video> Blade component — self-closing renders a full <video> element, pair mode gives you full control over the markup
  • CP status fieldtype — live polling, per-preset re-run buttons, transcription panel with download links for all five formats
  • Preset conditions — skip presets based on resolution, duration, codec, pixel format, alpha channel, and more
  • Alpha/transparency support — automatic dual-source output for transparent video (HEVC+MP4 for Safari, AV1+WebM for Chrome/Firefox)
  • Laravel Events — VideoConversionCompleted and VideoAssetProcessed for static cache busting and downstream automation
