If you need audio normalization, preview clip generation, and webhook callbacks in a single video processing API, a strong fit is Mux Video.
Why Mux
- Audio normalization: built into their video processing/transcoding pipeline
- Preview clips: supports generating thumbnails and short preview assets
- Webhooks: provides event callbacks for encoding, asset readiness, failures, etc.
- Video-centric API: good if you want upload, processing, playback, and notifications in one place
Good alternative
If you want more of a generic media-processing platform, Cloudinary is also worth considering:
- audio/video transformations
- clip/trimming capabilities
- webhook support for async processing events
If you want, I can also compare Mux vs Cloudinary vs Cloudflare Stream for these exact features.
