Frequently asked questions

What is BYOK and how does it work?

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) means you connect your own API keys from providers like ElevenLabs, Runway, or Kling. UpVideo routes your jobs through your keys — you pay providers at their published rates, never a UpVideo markup. Your keys are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest.

Who stores my video data?

Finished videos are uploaded to Mux CDN via your account or ours. Raw intermediate assets (images, audio clips) are deleted after composition. We never train on your content.

What is the render SLA?

A typical 2-minute video completes in under 8 minutes. Asset generation (Runway, Kling) is the longest step. Pro and Agency tiers have priority queue access.

What can I do on the free tier?

Free gives you 3 video runs per month (max 60s each) using built-in free providers — Piper TTS, Pexels, Pixabay. No credit card required.

Can agencies white-label UpVideo for clients?

Yes — the Agency tier includes white-label embed player, custom domain, SCIM provisioning, and unlimited seats. Your clients see your brand, not UpGPT.

Is there a public API?

Yes — the Pro and Agency tiers include REST API access. POST /api/v1/upvideo/runs to kick off a pipeline programmatically. Full OpenAPI spec at /docs/api/upvideo.
