Sample Job Settings Specifications in JSON - AWS Elemental MediaConvert API Reference

Sample Job Settings Specifications in JSON

These sample AWS Elemental MediaConvert jobs are specified in JSON. When you use the Python SDK or the AWS CLI, you pass in your job settings directly as a JSON object. When you use the other SDKs, translate the job settings according to the SDK documentation.

The following examples are meant for testing purposes only. You can use them to verify that you can successfully submit your CreateJob request to MediaConvert. We recommend that you use the MediaConvert console to set up jobs for production. For more information, see Creating Your Job Specification.

Tip

We recommend that you don't construct your production job settings specifications by starting from one of the samples in this chapter and then adding settings. This approach usually results in a series of validation errors that can be frustrating to resolve. Instead, use the MediaConvert console to set up and run your initial job and then export the JSON job object to use to programmatically submit future jobs.

Simple Example

This example JSON job settings specification describes a job that creates a single file output:

Complex Example

This example JSON job settings specification describes a job that creates output in multiple packages for viewing on different device types. It uses encryption for digital rights management:
