You can create one video encode and clone it among several outputs. The source encode could be an encode that you created from scratch, or it could be an encode that was itself created by cloning. For example, create video-1, then clone it to video-2, then clone video-2 to video-3.
Note that the procedure for cloning a video encode is nearly identical to the procedure for cloning an audio encode or captions encode.
-
On the Create channel page, find the output group that you created.
-
Under that output group, find the output where you want to set up a video encode.
-
If there is a Video button on the left, choose that button and then choose Remove video.
-
Choose Add video. A menu appears that includes the option Use an existing video description, followed by a list of the videos that currently exist in the entire channel.
-
Choose the video encode that you want to use as the source for the new video encode.
-
On the dialog that appears, choose Clone the existing settings. The fields for the encode appear, with the fields showing the values from the source encode.
-
Change any fields, as appropriate.
Keep in mind that this cloned encode is a new encode instance. If you change fields, you don't affect the source encode.
