Preset Operations

Topics

Presets are templates that contain most of the settings for transcoding media files from one format to another. Elastic Transcoder includes some default presets for common formats, for example, several iPod and iPhone versions. You can also create your own presets for formats that aren't included among the default presets. You specify which preset you want to use when you create a job.

This section describes operations that you can perform on presets using the Elastic Transcoder API. For more information about presets, including how to perform the same operations using the Elastic Transcoder console, see Working with Presets.
