AWS Elemental MediaConvert CreateJob Example Using the AWS CLI

A job does the work of transcoding a media file. When you create a job using the AWS CLI, you specify the job settings that AWS Elemental MediaConvert requires to perform the transcoding.

To create a transcoding job using the AWS CLI:

  • Specify your job settings with --cli-input-json:

    aws mediaconvert create-job \
    --region region-name-1 \ 
    --cli-input-json file://job.json

    In the preceding example, job.json specifies your job settings. You can use the MediaConvert console to generate the JSON job specification. For more information and sample job specifications, see Creating Your Job Specification.

    For more information about how to create a job using the AWS CLI, see the AWS CLI command reference.
