Charter Pro turns fishing trips into highlight reels with Shotstack

Description and use

Charter Pro uses Shotstack to automatically create highlight videos from guides’ photos and clips, with no human editing.

Problem

Fishing guides need to provide guests with polished highlight videos from phone photos and clips without manual video editing.

Outcome

Automated pipeline delivers a finished highlight video for every trip with zero ongoing human effort, providing a marketing asset for guides and a keepsake for guests.

Workflow

• 1. Guide uploads up to 30 photos and 1 minute of raw footage via the Charter Pro app.
• 2. AI vision selects the best 8 seconds of video.
• 3. Backend assembles a JSON edit with photos, AI‑selected clip, licensed music, and transitions.
• 4. Single API call to Shotstack Edit API renders the video.
• 5. Backend polls for completion and delivers finished video to guest’s recap page.

Evidence
