Creator Video Generation: A 4‑Step Capability Check Before Job Submission

Description and use

Pre‑submission capability checks prevent failed renders and reduce storage costs in video generation workflows.

Problem

Creator studios often submit video generation jobs that fail due to unsupported dimensions, source formats, or output policies, wasting compute and storage.

Outcome

Implementing a pre‑submission capability gate eliminates failed renders, reduces storage costs, and ensures only valid derivatives enter the cache.

Workflow

• 1. Retrieve the backend’s public video capability contract via a REST API (e.g., Infrai’s /video/capabilities).
• 2. Persist the capability snapshot and validate the source file, target dimensions, and output policy against it.
• 3. If validation fails, reject the job and record the reason; otherwise, enqueue the job with a unique job_id and idempotency key.
• 4. After generation, run post‑render checks (aspect ratio, audio presence, previewability) before promoting the derivative to cache.

Evidence

check the advertised video contract before submitting a generation job, then cache only derivatives that pass your studio's acceptance rules
