Cut Your Video Bill, Not Your Quality
Most teams pay more than they need to encode and stream every video. Our optimization engine finds the cheapest way to deliver each video that still looks great.
The Smartest Dollar in Your Stack
"Encoding became a commodity. Deciding how to encode every video for the lowest cost at the same perceptible quality is where companies can find real savings."
- Jeff Pickhardt, Founder, Videomancer
How it Works
We sit on top of the encoder you already use. No big migration is needed. For every video, our engine optimizes how to encode it while still passing your quality bar. Then when you actually encode it, you use our plan and enjoy the savings benefit. See what Videomancer could save you:

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this work?
Encoding is a commodity. The expensive mistake is encoding every video the same way and hoping it's efficient. We add a decision layer on top of your encoder: for each video it weighs cost against real, measured quality and chooses the option that costs the least while still looking the way you promised your viewers.
The result is the same experience for your audience at a meaningfully lower bill.
Do I have to switch encoders or rebuild my pipeline?
No. We're encoder-agnostic and sit on top of what you already run, whether ffmpeg, a cloud transcoder, your own code. Keep your pipeline, but make smarter decisions inside it.
Will my video quality drop?
No. You set the quality floor, and we never go below it. Every choice is scored against perceptual quality, not guesswork, and every decision is recorded so you can audit exactly why a video was encoded the way it was.
How much can we save?
It depends on your catalog and how it's encoded today, but teams typically leave 15–40% on the table across encoding and delivery. The biggest wins come from large or frequently-streamed libraries.
Reach out and we'll run an analysis on a sample of your content so you can see the number for yourself.
Who is this for?
Any team with meaningful video volume, such as streaming services, platforms, and apps where encoding and delivery are a real line item. If video is a cost you watch, we should talk.
