Workflows
End-to-end workflows for video publishing, AI processing, YouTube sync, and more.
The Rad TV API provides powerful end-to-end workflows that combine multiple operations into streamlined pipelines. These are the core capabilities you can build with.
Publish to Rad
Upload a video from URL or local file, transcode it, and publish — with a single mutation or a few API calls.
AI Video Upscaling
Upscale video to 4K/8K using Real-ESRGAN by setting enhance: true. Requires Creator+ subscription.
Audio Upmixing
Convert stereo audio to 5.1/7.1 surround sound during transcoding. Triggered alongside AI upscaling.
Output Assets
After transcoding, get HLS streams, MP4 downloads, preview clips, auto-generated thumbnails, and subtitles.
YouTube Cross-Publishing
Publish Rad content to YouTube or import YouTube videos into Rad. Bidirectional sync with OAuth.
Virality Prediction
Score content for predicted click-through rate and viral potential before publishing. Creator+ only.
How Workflows Work
Workflows combine lower-level GraphQL mutations into higher-level operations. You can use them two ways:
- Compound mutations like
publishVideo— a single GraphQL call that handles the full pipeline - Step-by-step — call individual mutations (
createContent→createContentAsset→submitContentForProcessing→publishContent) for full control
Both approaches are available via GraphQL and as MCP tools. The MCP agent workflows section covers the MCP-specific compound tools.
