Working with job templates
Job templates reduce the amount of time it takes to configure a job by providing pre-configured job settings.
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions on how to work with MediaConvert templates. In addition creating a job from a template, you can create, modify, list, and delete templates.
Job templates apply to an entire transcoding job; output presets apply to a single output of a transcoding job. For more about output presets, see Working with output presets.
You can use a system job template with settings specified for you, or you can create a custom job template with your own settings. You can create a custom job template from scratch, starting with only the default settings. Or you can duplicate a system job template, adjust it to suit your workflow, and then save it as a custom job template.
