One channel carries the information played by a single speaker. For example, a stereo track with two channels sends one channel to the left speaker, and the other channel to the right speaker. The output channels are organized into tracks. If you want Elastic Transcoder to automatically detect the number of audio channels in the input file and use that value for the output file, select auto
.
The output of a specific channel value and inputs are as follows:
auto
channel specified, with any input: Pass through up to eight input channels.0
channels specified, with any input: Audio omitted from the output.1
channel specified, with at least one input channel: Mono sound.2
channels specified, with any input: Two identical mono channels or stereo. For more information about tracks, see Audio:AudioPackingMode.
For more information about how Elastic Transcoder organizes channels and tracks, see Audio:AudioPackingMode
.
AudioPackingMode (string) --
The method of organizing audio channels and tracks. Use Audio:Channels
to specify the number of channels in your output, and Audio:AudioPackingMode
to specify the number of tracks and their relation to the channels. If you do not specify an Audio:AudioPackingMode
, Elastic Transcoder uses SingleTrack
.
The following values are valid:
SingleTrack
,OneChannelPerTrack
, andOneChannelPerTrackWithMosTo8Tracks
When you specify SingleTrack

If you specified AAC
for Audio:Codec
, this is the AAC
compression profile to use. Valid values include:
auto
,AAC-LC
,HE-AAC
,HE-AACv2
If you specify auto
, Elastic Transcoder chooses a profile based on the bit rate of the output file.
Profile (string) --
You can only choose an audio profile when you specify AAC for the value of Audio:Codec.
Specify the AAC profile for the output file. Elastic Transcoder supports the following profiles:
auto
: If you specify auto
, Elastic Transcoder selects the profile based on the bit rate selected for the output file.AAC-LC
: The most common AAC profile. Use for bit rates larger than 64 kbps.HE-AAC
: Not supported on some older players and devices. Use for bit rates between 40 and 80 kbps.HE-AACv2
: Not supported on some players and devices. Use for bit rates less than 48 kbps.All outputs in a Smooth
playlist must have the same value for Profile
.
Note
If you created any presets before AAC profiles were added, Elastic Transcoder automatically updated your presets to use AAC-LC. You can change the value as required.
BitDepth (string) --
You can only choose an audio bit depth when you specify flac
or pcm
for the value of Audio:Codec.
The bit depth of a sample is how many bits of information are included in the audio samples. The higher the bit depth, the better the audio, but the larger the file.
Valid values are 16
and 24
.
The most common bit depth is 24
.
BitOrder (string) --
You can only choose an audio bit order when you specify pcm
for the value of Audio:Codec.
The order the bits of a PCM sample are stored in.
The supported value is LittleEndian
.
Signed (string) --
You can only choose whether an audio sample is signed when you specify pcm
for the value of Audio:Codec.
Whether audio samples are represented with negative and positive numbers (signed) or only positive numbers (unsigned).
The supported value is Signed
.
Video (dict) --
A section of the response body that provides information about the video preset values.
Codec (string) --
The video codec for the output file. Valid values include gif
, H.264
, mpeg2
, vp8
, and vp9
. You can only specify vp8
and vp9
when the container type is webm
, gif
when the container type is gif
, and mpeg2
when the container type is mpg
.
CodecOptions (dict) --
Profile (H.264/VP8/VP9 Only)
The H.264 profile that you want to use for the output file. Elastic Transcoder supports the following profiles:
baseline
: The profile most commonly used for videoconferencing and for mobile applications.main
: The profile used for standard-definition digital TV broadcasts.high
: The profile used for high-definition digital TV broadcasts and for Blu-ray discs.Level (H.264 Only)
The H.264 level that you want to use for the output file. Elastic Transcoder supports the following levels:
1
,1b
,1.1
,1.2
,1.3
,2
,2.1
,2.2
,3
,3.1
,3.2
,4
,4.1
MaxReferenceFrames (H.264 Only)
Applicable only when the value of Video:Codec is H.264. The maximum number of previously decoded frames to use as a reference for decoding future frames. Valid values are integers 0 through 16, but we recommend that you not use a value greater than the following:
Min(Floor(Maximum decoded picture buffer in macroblocks * 256 / (Width in pixels * Height in pixels)), 16)
where Width in pixels and Height in pixels represent either MaxWidth and MaxHeight, or Resolution. Maximum decoded picture buffer in macroblocks depends on the value of the Level
object. See the list below. (A macroblock is a block of pixels measuring 16x16.)
MaxBitRate (Optional, H.264/MPEG2/VP8/VP9 only)
The maximum number of bits per second in a video buffer; the size of the buffer is specified by BufferSize
. Specify a value between 16 and 62,500. You can reduce the bandwidth required to stream a video by reducing the maximum bit rate, but this also reduces the quality of the video.
BufferSize (Optional, H.264/MPEG2/VP8/VP9 only)
The maximum number of bits in any x seconds of the output video. This window is commonly 10 seconds, the standard segment duration when you're using FMP4 or MPEG-TS for the container type of the output video. Specify an integer greater than 0. If you specify MaxBitRate
and omit BufferSize
, Elastic Transcoder sets BufferSize
to 10 times the value of MaxBitRate
.
InterlacedMode (Optional, H.264/MPEG2 Only)
The interlace mode for the output video.
Interlaced video is used to double the perceived frame rate for a video by interlacing two fields (one field on every other line, the other field on the other lines) so that the human eye registers multiple pictures per frame. Interlacing reduces the bandwidth required for transmitting a video, but can result in blurred images and flickering.
Valid values include Progressive
(no interlacing, top to bottom), TopFirst
(top field first), BottomFirst
(bottom field first), and Auto
.
If InterlaceMode
is not specified, Elastic Transcoder uses Progressive
for the output. If Auto
is specified, Elastic Transcoder interlaces the output.
ColorSpaceConversionMode (Optional, H.264/MPEG2 Only)
The color space conversion Elastic Transcoder applies to the output video. Color spaces are the algorithms used by the computer to store information about how to render color. Bt.601
is the standard for standard definition video, while Bt.709
is the standard for high definition video.
Valid values include None
, Bt709toBt601
, Bt601toBt709
, and Auto
.
If you chose Auto
for ColorSpaceConversionMode
and your output is interlaced, your frame rate is one of 23.97
, 24
, 25
, 29.97
, 50
, or 60
, your SegmentDuration
is null, and you are using one of the resolution changes from the list below, Elastic Transcoder applies the following color space conversions:
Bt601ToBt709
Bt601ToBt709
Bt709ToBt601
Bt709ToBt601
Note
Elastic Transcoder may change the behavior of the ColorspaceConversionMode
Auto
mode in the future. All outputs in a playlist must use the same ColorSpaceConversionMode
.
If you do not specify a ColorSpaceConversionMode
, Elastic Transcoder does not change the color space of a file. If you are unsure what ColorSpaceConversionMode
was applied to your output file, you can check the AppliedColorSpaceConversion
parameter included in your job response. If your job does not have an AppliedColorSpaceConversion
in its response, no ColorSpaceConversionMode
was applied.
ChromaSubsampling
The sampling pattern for the chroma (color) channels of the output video. Valid values include yuv420p
and yuv422p
.
yuv420p
samples the chroma information of every other horizontal and every other vertical line,yuv422p
samples the color information of every horizontal line and every other vertical line.LoopCount (Gif Only)
The number of times you want the output gif to loop. Valid values include Infinite
and integers between 0
and 100
, inclusive.
KeyframesMaxDist (string) --
Applicable only when the value of Video:Codec is one of H.264
, MPEG2
, or VP8
.
The maximum number of frames between key frames. Key frames are fully encoded frames; the frames between key frames are encoded based, in part, on the content of the key frames. The value is an integer formatted as a string; valid values are between 1 (every frame is a key frame) and 100000, inclusive. A higher value results in higher compression but may also discernibly decrease video quality.
For Smooth
outputs, the FrameRate
must have a constant ratio to the KeyframesMaxDist
. This allows Smooth
playlists to switch between different quality levels while the file is being played.
For example, an input file can have a FrameRate
of 30 with a KeyframesMaxDist
of 90. The output file then needs to have a ratio of 1:3. Valid outputs would have FrameRate
of 30, 25, and 10, and KeyframesMaxDist
of 90, 75, and 30, respectively.
Alternately, this can be achieved by setting FrameRate
to auto and having the same values for MaxFrameRate
and KeyframesMaxDist
.
FixedGOP (string) --
Applicable only when the value of Video:Codec is one of H.264
, MPEG2
, or VP8
.
Whether to use a fixed value for FixedGOP
. Valid values are true
and false
:
true
: Elastic Transcoder uses the value of KeyframesMaxDist
for the distance between key frames (the number of frames in a group of pictures, or GOP).false
: The distance between key frames can vary.Warning
FixedGOP
must be set to true
for fmp4
containers.
BitRate (string) --
The bit rate of the video stream in the output file, in kilobits/second. Valid values depend on the values of Level
and Profile
. If you specify auto
, Elastic Transcoder uses the detected bit rate of the input source. If you specify a value other than auto
, we recommend that you specify a value less than or equal to the maximum H.264-compliant value listed for your level and profile:
Level - Maximum video bit rate in kilobits/second (baseline and main Profile) : maximum video bit rate in kilobits/second (high Profile)
FrameRate (string) --
The frames per second for the video stream in the output file. Valid values include:
auto
,10
,15
,23.97
,24
,25
,29.97
,30
,60
If you specify auto
, Elastic Transcoder uses the detected frame rate of the input source. If you specify a frame rate, we recommend that you perform the following calculation:
Frame rate = maximum recommended decoding speed in luma samples/second / (width in pixels * height in pixels)
where:
The maximum recommended decoding speed in Luma samples/second for each level is described in the following list (Level - Decoding speed ):
MaxFrameRate (string) --
If you specify auto
for FrameRate
, Elastic Transcoder uses the frame rate of the input video for the frame rate of the output video. Specify the maximum frame rate that you want Elastic Transcoder to use when the frame rate of the input video is greater than the desired maximum frame rate of the output video. Valid values include: 10
, 15
, 23.97
, 24
, 25
, 29.97
, 30
, 60
.
Resolution (string) --
Warning
To better control resolution and aspect ratio of output videos, we recommend that you use the values MaxWidth
, MaxHeight
, SizingPolicy
, PaddingPolicy
, and DisplayAspectRatio
instead of Resolution
and AspectRatio
. The two groups of settings are mutually exclusive. Do not use them together.
The width and height of the video in the output file, in pixels. Valid values are auto
and width x height :
auto

. The two groups of settings are mutually exclusive. Do not use them together.
The display aspect ratio of the video in the output file. Valid values include:
auto
,1:1
,4:3
,3:2
,16:9
If you specify auto
, Elastic Transcoder tries to preserve the aspect ratio of the input file.
If you specify an aspect ratio for the output file that differs from aspect ratio of the input file, Elastic Transcoder adds pillarboxing (black bars on the sides) or letterboxing (black bars on the top and bottom) to maintain the aspect ratio of the active region of the video.
MaxWidth (string) --
The maximum width of the output video in pixels. If you specify auto
, Elastic Transcoder uses 1920 (Full HD) as the default value. If you specify a numeric value, enter an even integer between 128 and 4096.
MaxHeight (string) --
The maximum height of the output video in pixels. If you specify auto
, Elastic Transcoder uses 1080 (Full HD) as the default value. If you specify a numeric value, enter an even integer between 96 and 3072.

or MaxHeight
without exceeding the other value.Fill
: Elastic Transcoder scales the output video so it matches the value that you specified in either MaxWidth
or MaxHeight
and matches or exceeds the other value. Elastic Transcoder centers the output video and then crops it in the dimension (if any) that exceeds the maximum value.Stretch
: Elastic Transcoder stretches the output video to match the values that you specified for MaxWidth
and MaxHeight
. If the relative proportions of the input video and the output video are different, the output video will be distorted.Keep
: Elastic Transcoder does not scale the output video. If either dimension of the input video exceeds the values that you specified for MaxWidth
and MaxHeight
, Elastic Transcoder crops the output video.ShrinkToFit
: Elastic Transcoder scales the output video down so that its dimensions match the values that you specified for at least one of MaxWidth
and MaxHeight
without exceeding either value. If you specify this option, Elastic Transcoder does not scale the video up.ShrinkToFill
: Elastic Transcoder scales the output video down so that its dimensions match the values that you specified for at least one of MaxWidth
and MaxHeight
without dropping below either value. If you specify this option, Elastic Transcoder does not scale the video up.PaddingPolicy (string) --
When you set PaddingPolicy
to Pad
, Elastic Transcoder may add black bars to the top and bottom and/or left and right sides of the output video to make the total size of the output video match the values that you specified for MaxWidth
and MaxHeight
.
Watermarks (list) --
Settings for the size, location, and opacity of graphics that you want Elastic Transcoder to overlay over videos that are transcoded using this preset. You can specify settings for up to four watermarks. Watermarks appear in the specified size and location, and with the specified opacity for the duration of the transcoded video.
Watermarks can be in .png or .jpg format. If you want to display a watermark that is not rectangular, use the .png format, which supports transparency.
When you create a job that uses this preset, you specify the .png or .jpg graphics that you want Elastic Transcoder to include in the transcoded videos. You can specify fewer graphics in the job than you specify watermark settings in the preset, which allows you to use the same preset for up to four watermarks that have different dimensions.

The horizontal position of the watermark unless you specify a non-zero value for HorizontalOffset
:
HorizontalOffset (string) --
The amount by which you want the horizontal position of the watermark to be offset from the position specified by HorizontalAlign:
For example, if you specify Left for HorizontalAlign
and 5px for HorizontalOffset
, the left side of the watermark appears 5 pixels from the left border of the output video.
HorizontalOffset
is only valid when the value ofHorizontalAlign
isLeft
orRight
. If you specify an offset that causes the watermark to extend beyond the left or right border and Elastic Transcoder has not added black bars, the watermark is cropped. If Elastic Transcoder has added black bars, the watermark extends into the black bars. If the watermark extends beyond the black bars, it is cropped.

to specify whether you want Elastic Transcoder to include the black bars that are added by Elastic Transcoder, if any, in the offset calculation.
Opacity (string) --
A percentage that indicates how much you want a watermark to obscure the video in the location where it appears. Valid values are 0 (the watermark is invisible) to 100 (the watermark completely obscures the video in the specified location). The datatype of Opacity
is float.
Elastic Transcoder supports transparent .png graphics. If you use a transparent .png, the transparent portion of the video appears as if you had specified a value of 0 for Opacity
. The .jpg file format doesn't support transparency.
Target (string) --
A value that determines how Elastic Transcoder interprets values that you specified for HorizontalOffset
, VerticalOffset
, MaxWidth
, and MaxHeight
:
HorizontalOffset
and VerticalOffset
values are calculated based on the borders of the video excluding black bars added by Elastic Transcoder, if any. In addition, MaxWidth
and MaxHeight
, if specified as a percentage, are calculated based on the borders of the video excluding black bars added by Elastic Transcoder, if any.HorizontalOffset
and VerticalOffset
