Transcoding templates creation and editing

Profuz LAPIS  can trigger automatically transcoding processes according to workflow scenarios. E.g. Media content being ingested/uploaded into media mapped folders into no-native for the customer profile formats. Profuz LAPIS will recognize the incoming media profile formats and will start a transcoding process based on created transcoding presets. 

 1. Create a new Transcoding template from Create New →  type or select Media Transcode Template then fill the encoding attributes. There are few important attribute fields such as encoder, container and resolution. 

 Hint : Contact support team for any syntax matters 

 Remark : Presets can be started automatically or manually. 

 For manual transcoding select media content then properties-> select from drop-down menu Transcode and desired transcoding preset. 

 

 When transcoding process is started, a progress bar will appear and will show to the user the status of the transcoding progress. Once it finished, the copy will be available for usage. 

 Remark : You can monitor all queued and ongoing transformations in the MAM -> Current Transcoddings, and view all finished transcoddings in MAM -> Finished Transcodings. 

 Example for editing Video Transcode Template 

 Go to MAM

 →  Video Transcode Templates as shown below: 

 

 Select the template you want to edit and go to Actions  → Edit: 

 

 Template properties 

 

 Format - file format. One of the specifiers for muxers as returned by ffmpeg -formats . For example mp4 , avi , flv , gif . You may find more info in ffmpeg formats documentation ; 

 Video Codec - one of the video encoder specifiers as returned by ffmpeg -codecs . For example h264 (for automatic selection of software or hardware encoding), libx264 (for software encoding of h264), h264_nvenc (for NVidia GPU encoder), mpeg2video . You may find more info in ffmpeg video encoders documentation ; 

 Video Bitrate - bitrate in bits per second. For example 3000000 for 3 Mib/s; 

 Audio Codec - one of the audio encoder specifiers as returned by ffmpeg -codecs . For example aac , mp3 , pcm_f16le. You may find more info in ffmpeg audio encoders documentations . 

 Audio Bitrate - bitrate in bits per second. For example 96000 for 96 Kib/s; 

 Extension - file extension for the transcoded file; 

 Width - for video formats specify the width of the video frame. Leave blank to use original width; 

 Height - for video formats specify the height of the video frame. Set to -1 to calculate it based on aspect ratio; 

 Grayscale - if checked a grayscale video will be produced; 

 Input/Output Video/Audio/Common Parameter Preset - specify corresponding ffmpeg preset file. You may find more info in ffmpeg presets documentation ; 

 Additional Parameters - you may put any ffmpeg encoding or output option in this field. Each argument is put in separate line. You don't need to surround a parameter in quotes (they are needed only in command line). For all ffmpeg options execute ffmpeg -h full . You may find more info for available parameters in ffmpeg documentation .
