Apple Silicon media compute for products that ship video.

RenderMac is a typed API for stitch, encode, caption, audio mix, and Remotion-class jobs on Apple Silicon. During the beta, developers and buyers use available capacity free of charge.

Free beta: verified beta organizations receive a $0 fee ceiling. Capacity is limited, features and stored beta data may change, and there is no production SLA.
