The fastest video publishing in the multiverse

What's this blog post about?

Video publishing speed is often hindered by slow video encoding processes, which can take anywhere from 25% to 100% of the video's duration. This issue affects user experience as they have to wait for their videos to be playable after uploading. Mux Video is a platform that aims to improve this situation by offering faster transcoding times, enabling short videos to be prepared in seconds and feature-length films in minutes instead of hours. The company achieves this through just-in-time transcoding, which allows for quick video preparation and playback upon user request. This approach not only enhances the end-user experience but also opens up possibilities for on-the-fly video editing and dynamic format creation for specific devices.
