The Transcode feature is available for videos and allows you to:

• Create different formats of your videos (e.g. HLS, MP4 low res, WMV, MPEG-1).
• Re-create an existing format with new settings (e.g., aspect ratio or bitrate).

You can access the Transcode option via the file context menu. It transcodes files you’ve uploaded and is particularly useful for videos and audio files.

With Transcode, you can adjust:

• Format - Convert to different video formats such as high- or low-resolution MP4.
• Export - Export the video to a new asset .
• Captions - Burn captions into the video during export.
• Clip Cutting - Cut out a specific part of the video during export.
• Bitrate - Change the video quality/bitrate.
• Aspect ratio - Choose between the original ratio, 4:3, or 16:9.
• Deinterlace - Convert interlaced video (e.g., analog TV or 1080i HDTV) to progressive video.
• Watermark - Embed a watermark into the transcoded version, if one is set in Branding Settings.
• Timecode - Burn timecode into the video.
