For files already existing in the Bucket, you can create tasks to perform operations such as Media Processing. Task creation is based on the Template feature. You can directly use the system preset templates provided by Cloud Infinite or customize templates. For details on templates, see Template documentation.
Note:
Media Processing currently supports files in formats such as 3gp, asf, avi, dv, flv, f4v, m3u8, m4v, mkv, mov, mp4, mpg, mpeg, mts, ogg, rm, rmvb, swf, vob, wmv, webm, mp3, aac, flac, amr, awb, m4a, wma, wav. When initiating a Media Processing request, you must specify the complete file name and format; otherwise, the format cannot be recognized and processed.
Audio and video support outputting files encoded in AV1, H264, H265, VP8, and VP9 formats.
Currently, the task feature can only operate on existing files. If you need to process files during upload, use the Workflow feature.
When using Media Processing services, ensure resource availability by not enabling access restriction features such as Original-Protection and Hotlink Protection.
When using Media Processing, please first confirm the relevant limitations and Region. For details, see Usage Limitations.
Transcoding Processing
Audio/Video transcoding
Audio and Video Transcoding provides transcoding capabilities for audio and video files, which is the process of converting a file stream into another stream. Transcoding can modify parameters of the original stream, including encoding format, resolution, and bitrate, enabling playback adaptation to different devices and network environments.
