​
Difference from Synchronous Preview

The synchronous POST /api/custom_template_jobs/preview/ endpoint blocks until the preview is ready and returns the completed result directly. This async endpoint returns immediately with the job in a pending state. You should poll the job status using GET /api/custom_template_jobs/{id}/ until the status becomes done, then read the preview field from the response.

​
About preview Field in the Response

The preview field provides a link to preview the video. This link allows you to preview the video before rendering it, you can put it in an iframe to show the video in your application. Example: The preview field in the response will look like this: 
"https://app.creatify.ai/preview?layout=videos/20241024/f0c1e1f1-be05-48e0-91d8-3d26ed633d5b.json"
This async endpoint is recommended over the synchronous preview endpoint, especially for templates with complex assets or heavy processing. It avoids HTTP timeout issues that can occur with the synchronous endpoint when the server is under high load.
