next-video is a React component and CLI for adding video to Next.js applications, with automatic video optimization, off-repo storage, adaptive streaming, and customizable player UI. It defaults to Mux as the video backend but supports pluggable providers.
Use cases
- add video to a next.js app
- optimize and stream video files in react
- store large video files outside git
- add video player with timeline hover thumbnails
- auto-generate captions for videos
- prevent layout shift with video poster placeholders
When to choose
- you're building a Next.js app and want drop-in video embedding
- you want automatic transcoding, CDN delivery, and adaptive streaming without building it yourself
- you want optional analytics and AI captions for video content
When to avoid
- you're not using Next.js or React
- you need full control over your own video encoding pipeline
- you don't want a dependency on an external video service like Mux
