- Tutorial
Hello! 
Amazon Web Services has provided its users with the new Elastic Transcoder video processing service . As you know, the main point is video transcoding.
The service is a pipeline date. We give him information on where to get the video, where and in what format to put everything. I have already tried and I want to show you, tell what and how.
First, we need 2 S3 bucket: one as the outgoing, the other as the receiving:
Next, in the Elastic Transecoder console, create a new pipeline:
Enter the names of the buckets and name the pipeline:
Next, we will have a standard console:
In the menu on the left we see more items of tasks and presets. It is very interesting to look at presets:
As you can see, the service gives us templates for conventional formats, well, for popular mobile devices. You can also create a template yourself and enter all the video parameters.
So, we have a certain video uploaded to the et_test_source bucket , we need to transcode it. Create a task:
Next, the task appears in the Jobs tab with the Processing status .
After the task has completed, in the bucket et_test_dest we will have the desired file:
The file format corresponds to the preset used:
Cost. Elastic Transecode is paid per minute.
* Prices are for the US-EAST-1 region.
That's how Amazon Web Services created another new service, which, in my opinion, will be very interesting to our customers. I am curious if you calculated how much a minute of video costs using server solutions? Is this service interesting for you?
