Modify a Transcoding Rule
Transcoding may occur, with one or more transcoding presets selected, when a user performs the following actions:
●Adds a Video
●Adds a 360 Video
●Records a Video
By default, transcoding rules select the High Definition 720p preset for each action and ingest the original file after transcoding.
Action | Transcoding Preset | Ingest Original File |
|---|---|---|
User Adds a Video | High Definition 720p | Yes |
User Adds a 360 Video | ●Adaptive Streaming for 360 Video ●360 Video 1080p | Yes |
User Records a Video | High Definition 720p | Yes |
Account Admins and Media Admins may view and edit transcoding rules.
Keep in mind:
●Admins may select additional transcoding presets used for an action; or change the current transcoding preset used.
●Admins can specify that no transcoding should occur for a given action.
●Admins can specify whether the original file should be transferred to DMEs.
●Ingesting the original file is different from “keeping” an original file in Rev. Rev always keeps an original file even if ingest is unchecked. However, if ingest original file is selected, Rev will also ingest the file to DMEs. This is a subtle but important distinction.
To edit a default transcoding rule setting:1. Navigate to Admin> Media Settings > Transcoding > Settings button.
2. Click Edit next to the action you want to modify.
3. Click on a format in the All column to add it to the Assigned Preset column.
4. To remove a format, click on it in the Assigned Presets column and it will be removed.
5. Click Save Changes.
6. The action will now transcode video into the new settings when performed and the modified preset is selected.
Note: To transfer the original video to DMEs after transcoding, click the Ingest Original checkbox. You may not have transcoding disabled for a rule (no preset selected) and have Ingest Original deselected for the same setting. |
