Our monthly newsletter, now in video form. In the latest episode, @davekiss.com breaks down Directives, the new way to set up Mux Robots workflows once and automatically run them on every new asset. Plus, catch up on our newest content and upcoming events. Give it a watch: youtu.be/Bb7sUKOiEr4...

"Mux is innovating at a rapid pace. That's one of the reasons I jumped ship from our old provider." — Andrei Rafai, Disciple CTO Disciple moved over a million minutes of video to Mux with 1 engineer and came out with lower costs, built-in analytics, and a modern platform www.mux.com/blog/disciple

We chose the wrong abstraction — here's what it cost us. In his @cascadiajs.com talk, @darius.cool shares how a well-intentioned API broke down under real-world use, why we scrapped it, and what we learned about building composable APIs that scale. Give it a watch:

From translating audio to generating engagement insights to finding the best thumbnail, Mux Robots just learned a few new tricks We just added ✨six✨ new workflows that automate your video work with one API call (or one click in the dashboard).

"What happens in this video?" is a surprisingly hard question to ask a machine. Find Scenes answers it by mapping a video into structured scenes of what was shown and said. It's our latest Mux Robots workflow, built on Shots. Read more: www.mux.com/blog/making...

"Without Mux, nothing you're seeing on Cutsio is possible." — Rish Agarwal, Cutsio founder When you upload a clip, Mux Robots goes to work in the background, generating summaries, tags, key moments, and chapters that appear in real time in the UI while you keep editing. www.mux.com/blog/cutsio

Domino Rally truck 🤝 Mux Robots Directives In the latest newsletter, @davekiss.com gets into how our new Mux Robots Directives bring automation to your AI video workflows. Read the newsletter: connect.mux.com/set-it-up-o... Subscribe: mux.com/newsletter/...

Hot take? React Native needs a new video player — so Joshua made one. Native playback on iOS and Android, Mux Data out of the box, and Mux Robots for chapters, summaries, and key moments right inside the player UI. Here's how he did it: www.mux.com/blog/react-...

We asked a few developers what they think needs to stay — and what needs to change — as AI becomes a bigger part of how we build. Here's what Timothy Johnson II of Cru and @sentry.io's Sergiy Dybskiy and Richard Roggenkemper had to say.

@mux/ai lets you bring your own API keys, choose your own models, and control how video intelligence behaves in your workflows. Joshua fine-tuned Mistral Small 3.1 with LoRA and Baseten to get more concise outputs for summarization, chapters, caption translation, and more.

We made it to the Big Apple! 🍎 This week, Mux launched physical ads across NYC's subways. From Broadway to Brooklyn, from Knicks games to NY Tech Week — we'll be here for all of it.

New in Mux Robots: Directives! Automate AI workflows for your videos with no extra coding. Phil shows you how in just a few clicks. Read more on the blog: www.mux.com/blog/mux-ro... Free in technical preview through June 15.

"Before, we were making decisions based on gut feel. Now we go to the data. That changes everything." — Óscar Ramírez, Fuertafit’s CTO Fuertafit is a Spanish-language fitness platform. After a two-hour outage and months of billing disputes, it was time to find something new.

We're at @CascadiaJS.com this week. Here's what we've got going on today: 🎤 @darius.cool is giving a talk at 1:40 p.m. 🎰 We're hosting a Pogs tournament at the networking mixer 💼 And catch some sweet Mux art on your complimentary tote bag See ya soon, Seattle

Guess who's back, back again? Dylan's back (guest writing the newsletter), tell a friend Dylan shared a personal project of how he turned 500GB of VHS tapes from the 90s (birthdays, family trips, etc.) into a searchable video archive, complete with titles, descriptions, transcripts, and tags.

I spy @DaveKiss.com giving a talk at @webexpo.bsky.social Conference. Dave shared how he built an arcade-style video player powered by real physics using Three.js and React Three Fiber. The result is chaotic and really fun.

A few years ago, Dylan's dad digitized his childhood videos. 21 files, 31 hours, but unorganized — so they sat untouched on a hard drive. Recently, he used Claude Code+Mux Robots to organize them, running chapters, key moments, summaries, and transcripts, splitting it all into timestamped memories.

Building a to-do app was the rite of passage for learning to code — LLMs killed it. Here's @davekiss.com's take on what should replace it: www.mux.com/blog/the-de...

Every UGC platform needs content moderation. Here's a head start. We built a one-click dashboard using Mux Robots — per-frame moderation scores, video summaries, and custom yes/no questions, all tied to an asset ID and runs async.

Join us this evening in SF for talks and tacos. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Register: luma.com/7yhoj31m

"Mux removed the barrier to entry. It was great to work with a straightforward, feature-rich, & well-documented API." — Amit Matani, Wellfound CEO Resumes aren't great predictors of job fit. Wellfound built AI video interviews to change that using Mux's transcription, clipping, and auto-captions.

optimize your video, your jawline is already perfect

🚨 Live today at noon PT: @joshalphonse, our Community Engineer, is joining Wayne Sutton, Michael Shimeles, and Jamie Turner on Convex's podcast M.A.U. He'll be talking through what he's building, demoing the new Mux + Convex component, and sharing lessons learned along the way.

It’s official. Mux is part of the @opensourcepledge.com. $77,730 ($2,101/dev) to OSS in 2025, plus stewarding Video.js, the web’s most popular open source player. @mmcc.io wrote about why we signed -- and the dinner conversation that made us act: www.mux.com/blog/mux-joi...

SF Video is back this Thursday at Mux HQ. Join us for food, drinks, and a room full of people building in and around video. Lineup includes: Steve Heffernan on Video.js v10, Scott Kidder from Discord on HTTP/3 and CDN topology, and Luke Curley on MoQ. Register: luma.com/npm953d3

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, most videos are worth ~30k words per second. Video tends to get treated like a pipe — encode, cache, serve — but with features like transcripts, storyboards + behavioral data, there's more you can get out of it. Where it lives determines what you can do with it.

"Before we found Mux, we couldn't achieve the scale we desired. It was cost preventative to let our customers have as many videos as they wanted to post. We evaluated several vendors, but Mux was by far the most developer friendly and mature." — Lincoln Bryant, HubSpot Staff Software Engineer

SF Video is back, and we’re hosting at our office next Thursday with a stacked lineup: • Steve Heffernan on the path to Video.js v10 • Scott Kidder from Discord on HTTP/3 and CDN topology optimizations • Luke Curley on MoQ Register: luma.com/npm953d3

Video used to be something you watch. Now it's something you query. Check out @jondahl's latest blog on why AI is turning video files into arrays of strings, numbers, and vectors — and what that means for what gets built next 👇. www.mux.com/blog/that-s...

"We wish we'd done it earlier. Everything just works really well. It's very solid, well documented — exactly what you want to work with as a developer." — Chris Patton, founder of Punchpass Punchpass migrated 25TB of video to Mux in less than a week. (1/2)

Video.js v10 beta is here! Video.js v10 is a complete rewrite combining four (!) open source players into one — 88% smaller default bundles, first-class React + TypeScript support, composable architecture, and beautiful new skins ♥️ Read the blog + check out the site: videojs.org/blog/videoj...

React 19.2's new <Activity> component is a game changer for video streaming apps. Learn how to prevent video playback from resetting or playing in the background when users hides and shows a video player with <Activity> in our latest blog. www.mux.com/blog/react-...

Catch @DaveKiss.com at @T3chFest.es Madrid next week! He’ll be giving a talk on how to build a 3D video player in the browser with real-time physics and game-like graphics

@davekiss.com didn’t know @laravel.com — he migrated a Next.js app anyway In this series, he covers: • Building the video grid • Uploading videos and handling webhooks • Real-time updates and individual entry pages • SSR, forms, and open-sourcing the starter kit Watch: youtube.com/playlist?li...

Cozy up next to a campfire and catch up on what @davekiss and the @MuxHQ crew are up to in our latest news letter: connect.mux.com/the-campfir... The team has been cooking cool apps, shipping new features and taking time to meet new people at the hottest events while AI agents do our bidding.

See y’all in two weeks @t3chfest.es 🫡

See y’all tonight at Mux HQ for the @allthingsweb.dev meetup hosted by @andrelandgraf.com of Databricks + @neon.com and @esthor.dev of @coderabbitai.bsky.social This month's focus is Developer Tools Agent Experience (AX), with lightning demos and an open panel discussion. luma.com/fq56wfwr

In this month's newsletter (coming out this week), @DaveKiss.com shares his musings on developer meetups, what no agent can replicate, and where the Mux team will be in the coming months. Get it in your inbox: www.mux.com/newsletter/...

AI agents are great at doing things. Less great at showing you what they did. @DaveKiss.com built a two-pass screen recording system that fixes that — agents narrate their own walkthroughs, synced to what's actually on screen. Check it out: www.mux.com/blog/agenti...

At Mux HQ next Tues: @allthingsweb.dev meetup hosted by @andrelandgraf.com of Databricks + @neon.com and @esthor.dev of @coderabbitai.bsky.social This month's topic is devtools agent experience — from CLI vs. MCP, self-driving infra for agents, and more. Spots are limited: luma.com/fq56wfwr
