sanity-plugin-mux-input
Advanced tools
An input component that integrates Sanity Studio with Mux video encoding/hosting service.
This is a Sanity Studio v3 plugin. For the v2 version, please refer to the v2-branch.
This plugin lets you use Mux video assets in your Sanity studio.
The Mux plugin for Sanity allows you to easily upload and preview videos.

npm install sanity-plugin-mux-input
or
yarn add sanity-plugin-mux-input
npm i sanity-plugin-mux-input.
Read more about using plugins in Sanity here.Make a schema type that uses the plugin's type mux.video, for example:
export default {
title: 'Video blog post',
name: 'videoBlogPost',
type: 'document',
fields: [
{title: 'Title', name: 'title', type: 'string'},
{
title: 'Video file',
name: 'video',
type: 'mux.video',
},
],
}
muxInput import to your plugins:import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {muxInput} from 'sanity-plugin-mux-input'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [muxInput()],
})

The Mux Video API uses an Access Token and Secret Key for authentication.
If you haven't already, generate a new Access Token in the Access Token settings of your Mux account dashboard, and make sure it got permission to both read and write video and read data.
The token is stored in the dataset as a document of the type mux.apiKey with the id secrets.mux.
Having the ID be non-root ensures that only editors are able to see it.
The Mux plugin will find its access tokens by fetching this document.
When a Mux video is uploaded/chosen in a document via this plugin, it gets stored as a reference to the video document:
// example document
{
"_type": "exampleSchemaWithVideo",
// Example video field
"myVideoField": {
"_type": "mux.video",
"asset": {
"_type": "reference",
"_weak": true,
"_ref": "4e37284e-cec2-406d-973c-fdf9ab1e5598" // 👈 ID of the document holding the video's Mux data
}
}
}
Before you can display videos in your frontend, you need to follow these references to fetch the asset's playback ID, which will be used to create a player. Here's an example GROQ query to expand the video reference in the example data above:
// Example for fetching data above
*[ _type == "exampleSchemaWithVideo" ] {
myVideoField {
asset-> {
playbackId,
assetId,
filename,
}
}
}
💡 For more information on querying references, refer to the documentation on Writing GROQ queries for references or on Sanity's GraphQL API.
For reference, here's an example mux.videoAsset document:
{
"_id": "4e37284e-cec2-406d-973c-fdf9ab1e5598",
"_type": "mux.videoAsset",
"assetId": "7ovyI76F92n02H00mWP7lOCZMIU00N4iysDiQDNppX026HY",

We recommend using Mux Player to properly display your videos, through packages like @mux/mux-player and @mux/mux-player-react. Here's an example of how you can use the Mux Player to display a video in a React component:
'use client'
import MuxPlayer from '@mux/mux-player-react'
export default function MuxVideo({playbackId, title}: {playbackId?: string; title?: string}) {
if (!playbackId) return null
return <MuxPlayer playbackId={playbackId} metadata={title ? {video_title: title} : undefined} />
}
💡 You can try these recommendations through the Codesandbox example.
To enable signed urls with content uploaded to Mux, you will need to check the "Enable Signed Urls" option in the Mux Plugin configuration. Assuming that the API Access Token and Secret Key are set (as per the Quick start section).
More information for this feature of the plugin can be found on Mux's documentation
To enable static MP4 renditions, add mp4_support: 'standard' to the options of your mux.video schema type.
import {muxInput} from 'sanity-plugin-mux-input'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [muxInput({mp4_support: 'standard'})],
})
If MP4 support is enabled in the plugin's configuration, editors can still choose to enable MP4 renditions on a per-video basis when uploading new assets.
To edit max_resolution_tier to support other resolutions other than 1080p, add max_resolution_tier: '1080p' | '1440p' | '2160p' to the options of your mux.video schema type. Defaults to 1080p.
import {muxInput} from 'sanity-plugin-mux-input'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [muxInput({max_resolution_tier: '2160p'})],
})
When uploading new assets, editors can still choose a lower resolution for each video than configured globally.
The encoding tier informs the cost, quality, and available platform features for the asset. You can choose between smart and baseline at the plugin configuration. Defaults to smart.
import {muxInput} from 'sanity-plugin-mux-input'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [muxInput({encoding_tier: 'baseline'})],
})
If encoding_tier: 'smart', editors can still choose to use the baseline encoding tier on a per-video basis when uploading new assets.
Issues are actively monitored and PRs are welcome. When developing this plugin the easiest setup is:
npm create sanity@dev-preview. Follow the prompts, starting out with the blog template is a good way to go.cd into your project directory, run npm install && npm start - your sanity studio should be running on http://localhost:3333.cd into the plugins directory of your project.plugins directory inside your project git clone git@github.com:your-fork/sanity-plugin-mux-input.git.sanity.json, go to the plugins array and add mux-input.npm start.schemas/post.js and add follow the plugin documentation to add a mux.video type field.Run the "CI" workflow. Make sure to select the main branch and check "Release new version".
Semantic release will only release on configured branches, so it is safe to run release on any branch.
On the studio-v2 branch this will result in:
latest dist-tag.yarn add sanity-plugin-mux-input or npm i sanity-plugin-mux-input will fetch the new version.sanity install mux-input will fetch the new version.On the main branch this will result in:
studio-v3 dist-tag.yarn add sanity-plugin-mux-input@studio-v3 or npm i sanity-plugin-mux-input@studio-v3 will fetch the new version.sanity install mux-input won't fetch the new version.After Studio v3 turns stable this behavior will change. The v2 version will then be available on the studio-v2 dist-tag, and studio-v3 is upgraded to live on latest.
This plugin uses @sanity/plugin-kit with default configuration for build & watch scripts.
See Testing a plugin in Sanity Studio on how to run this plugin with hotreload in the studio.
Run "CI & Release" workflow. Make sure to select the main branch and check "Release new version".
