Job Types

Rendobar supports 23 job types organized into categories. Each job type has a specific Zod schema for input validation, a cost model, and execution requirements. Most job types accept multiple media formats — the system automatically detects whether your input is video, image, or audio and adjusts processing, output format, and billing accordingly.
