### What we like

Easy APIs for upload, process, embed, stream video. APIs to generate images, clips & previews. Player React component which is themeable, including support for custom domains. Can also handle live streaming. Data APIs for playback and engagement analytics. API for adding subtitles or auto-generating captions.

### Tradeoffs

Be sure to download your original files - there are some situations where Mux may have the only copy e.g. live streaming or if you uploaded then ran edits.
