Properties

AacAudioDescriptionBroadcasterMix

Choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD when the input contains pre-mixed main audio + audio description (AD) as a stereo pair. The value for AudioType will be set to 3, which signals to downstream systems that this stream contains "broadcaster mixed AD". Note that the input received by the encoder must contain pre-mixed audio; the encoder does not perform the mixing. When you choose BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD, the encoder ignores any values you provide in AudioType and FollowInputAudioType. Choose NORMAL when the input does not contain pre-mixed audio + audio description (AD). In this case, the encoder will use any values you provide for AudioType and FollowInputAudioType.

  • BROADCASTER_MIXED_AD

  • NORMAL

AacCodecProfile

Specify the AAC profile. For the widest player compatibility and where higher bitrates are acceptable: Keep the default profile, LC (AAC-LC) For improved audio performance at lower bitrates: Choose HEV1 or HEV2.

For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

Av1QvbrSettings

Settings for quality-defined variable bitrate encoding with the AV1 codec. Use these settings only when you set QVBR for Rate control mode.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
qvbrQualityLevel

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10

False

Use this setting only when you set Rate control mode to QVBR. Specify the target quality level for this output. MediaConvert determines the right number of bits to use for each part of the video to maintain the video quality that you specify. When you keep the default value, AUTO, MediaConvert picks a quality level for you, based on characteristics of your input video. If you prefer to specify a quality level, specify a number from 1 through 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

qvbrQualityLevelFineTune

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

Maximum: 1.0

False

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

Av1RateControlMode

spatialAdaptiveQuantization

Av1SpatialAdaptiveQuantization

False

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher.

Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

  • PROGRESSIVE

  • TOP_FIELD

  • BOTTOM_FIELD

  • FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD

  • FOLLOW_BOTTOM_FIELD

AvcIntraScanTypeConversionMode

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing.

ChannelMapping

Channel mapping contains the group of fields that hold the remixing value for each channel, in dB. Specify remix values to indicate how much of the content from your input audio channel you want in your output audio channels. Each instance of the InputChannels or InputChannelsFineTune array specifies these values for one output channel. Use one instance of this array for each output channel. In the console, each array corresponds to a column in the graphical depiction of the mapping matrix. The rows of the graphical matrix correspond to input channels. Valid values are within the range from -60 (mute) through 6. A setting of 0 passes the input channel unchanged to the output channel (no attenuation or amplification). Use InputChannels or InputChannelsFineTune to specify your remix values. Don't use both.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription

CmfcAudioDuration

Specify this setting only when your output will be consumed by a downstream repackaging workflow that is sensitive to very small duration differences between video and audio. For this situation, choose Match video duration. In all other cases, keep the default value, Default codec duration. When you choose Match video duration, MediaConvert pads the output audio streams with silence or trims them to ensure that the total duration of each audio stream is at least as long as the total duration of the video stream. After padding or trimming, the audio stream duration is no more than one frame longer than the video stream. MediaConvert applies audio padding or trimming only to the end of the last segment of the output. For unsegmented outputs, MediaConvert adds padding only to the end of the file. When you keep the default value, any minor discrepancies between audio and video duration will depend on your output audio codec.

  • DEFAULT_CODEC_DURATION

  • MATCH_VIDEO_DURATION

CmfcAudioTrackType

Use this setting to control the values that MediaConvert puts in your HLS parent playlist to control how the client player selects which audio track to play. Choose Audio-only variant stream (AUDIO_ONLY_VARIANT_STREAM) for any variant that you want to prohibit the client from playing with video. This causes MediaConvert to represent the variant as an EXT-X-STREAM-INF in the HLS manifest. The other options for this setting determine the values that MediaConvert writes for the DEFAULT and AUTOSELECT attributes of the EXT-X-MEDIA entry for the audio variant. For more information about these attributes, see the Apple documentation article https://developer.apple.com/documentation/http_live_streaming/example_playlists_for_http_live_streaming/adding_alternate_media_to_a_playlist.

When you keep the default value, any minor discrepancies between audio and video duration will depend on your output audio codec.

audioGroupId

string

False

Specify the audio rendition group for this audio rendition. Specify up to one value for each audio output in your output group. This value appears in your HLS parent manifest in the EXT-X-MEDIA tag of TYPE=AUDIO, as the value for the GROUP-ID attribute. For example, if you specify "audio_aac_1" for Audio group ID, it appears in your manifest like this: #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio_aac_1". Related setting: To associate the rendition group that this audio track belongs to with a video rendition, include the same value that you provide here for that video output's setting Audio rendition sets.

audioRenditionSets

string

False

List the audio rendition groups that you want included with this video rendition. Use a comma-separated list. For example, say you want to include the audio rendition groups that have the audio group IDs "audio_aac_1" and "audio_dolby". Then you would specify this value: "audio_aac_1,audio_dolby". Related setting: The rendition groups that you include in your comma-separated list should all match values that you specify in the setting Audio group ID for audio renditions in the same output group as this video rendition. Default behavior: If you don't specify anything here and for Audio group ID, MediaConvert puts each audio variant in its own audio rendition group and associates it with every video variant. Each value in your list appears in your HLS parent manifest in the EXT-X-STREAM-INF tag as the value for the AUDIO attribute. To continue the previous example, say that the file name for the child manifest for your video rendition is "amazing_video_1.m3u8". Then, in your parent manifest, each value will appear on separate lines, like this: #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:AUDIO="audio_aac_1"... amazing_video_1.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:AUDIO="audio_dolby"... amazing_video_1.m3u8

colorSpaceConversion

ColorSpaceConversion

False

Specify the color space you want for this output. The service supports conversion between HDR formats, between SDR formats, from SDR to HDR, and from HDR to SDR. SDR to HDR conversion doesn't upgrade the dynamic range. The converted video has an HDR format, but visually appears the same as an unconverted output. HDR to SDR conversion uses tone mapping to approximate the outcome of manually regrading from HDR to SDR. When you specify an output color space, MediaConvert uses the following color space metadata, which includes color primaries, transfer characteristics, and matrix coefficients: * HDR 10: BT.2020, PQ, BT.2020 non-constant * HLG 2020: BT.2020, HLG, BT.2020 non-constant * P3DCI (Theater): DCIP3, SMPTE 428M, BT.709 * P3D65 (SDR): Display P3, sRGB, BT.709 * P3D65 (HDR): Display P3, PQ, BT.709

contrast

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

False

Contrast level.

hdr10Metadata

Hdr10Metadata

False

Use these settings when you convert to the HDR 10 color space. Specify the SMPTE ST 2086 Mastering Display Color Volume static metadata that you want signaled in the output. These values don't affect the pixel values that are encoded in the video stream. They are intended to help the downstream video player display content in a way that reflects the intentions of the the content creator. When you set Color space conversion to HDR 10, these settings are required. You must set values for Max frame average light level and Max content light level; these settings don't have a default value. The default values for the other HDR 10 metadata settings are defined by the P3D65 color space. For more information about MediaConvert HDR jobs, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/mediaconvert/hdr.

hdrToSdrToneMapper

HDRToSDRToneMapper

False

Specify how MediaConvert maps brightness and colors from your HDR input to your SDR output. The mode that you select represents a creative choice, with different tradeoffs in the details and tones of your output. To maintain details in bright or saturated areas of your output: Choose Preserve details. For some sources, your SDR output may look less bright and less saturated when compared to your HDR source. MediaConvert automatically applies this mode for HLG sources, regardless of your choice. For a bright and saturated output: Choose Vibrant. We recommend that you choose this mode when any of your source content is HDR10, and for the best results when it is mastered for 1000 nits. You may notice loss of details in bright or saturated areas of your output. HDR to SDR tone mapping has no effect when your input is SDR.

hue

sampleRangeConversion

SampleRangeConversion

False

Specify how MediaConvert limits the color sample range for this output. To create a limited range output from a full range input: Choose Limited range squeeze. For full range inputs, MediaConvert performs a linear offset to color samples equally across all pixels and frames. Color samples in 10-bit outputs are limited to 64 through 940, and 8-bit outputs are limited to 16 through 235. Note: For limited range inputs, values for color samples are passed through to your output unchanged. MediaConvert does not limit the sample range. To correct pixels in your input that are out of range or out of gamut: Choose Limited range clip. Use for broadcast applications. MediaConvert conforms any pixels outside of the values that you specify under Minimum YUV and Maximum YUV to limited range bounds. MediaConvert also corrects any YUV values that, when converted to RGB, would be outside the bounds you specify under Minimum RGB tolerance and Maximum RGB tolerance. With either limited range conversion, MediaConvert writes the sample range metadata in the output.

saturation

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

False

Saturation level.

sdrReferenceWhiteLevel

integer

Minimum: 100

Maximum: 1000

False

Specify the reference white level, in nits, for all of your SDR inputs. Use to correct brightness levels within HDR10 outputs. The following color metadata must be present in your SDR input: color primaries, transfer characteristics, and matrix coefficients. If your SDR input has missing color metadata, or if you want to correct input color metadata, manually specify a color space in the input video selector. For 1,000 nit peak brightness displays, we recommend that you set SDR reference white level to 203 (according to ITU-R BT.2408). Leave blank to use the default value of 100, or specify an integer from 100 to 1000.

ColorMetadata

Choose Insert for this setting to include color metadata in this output. Choose Ignore to exclude color metadata from this output. If you don't specify a value, the service sets this to Insert by default.

  • IGNORE

ColorSpaceConversion

Specify the color space you want for this output. The service supports conversion between HDR formats, between SDR formats, from SDR to HDR, and from HDR to SDR. SDR to HDR conversion doesn't upgrade the dynamic range. The converted video has an HDR format, but visually appears the same as an unconverted output. HDR to SDR conversion uses tone mapping to approximate the outcome of manually regrading from HDR to SDR. When you specify an output color space, MediaConvert uses the following color space metadata, which includes color primaries, transfer characteristics, and matrix coefficients: * HDR 10: BT.2020, PQ, BT.2020 non-constant * HLG 2020: BT.2020, HLG, BT.2020 non-constant * P3DCI (Theater): DCIP3, SMPTE 428M, BT.709 * P3D65 (SDR): Display P3, sRGB, BT.709 * P3D65 (HDR): Display P3, PQ, BT.709

MPEG-2 TS container settings. These apply to outputs in a File output group when the output's container is MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS). In these assets, data is organized by the program map table (PMT). Each transport stream program contains subsets of data, including audio, video, and metadata. Each of these subsets of data has a numerical label called a packet identifier (PID). Each transport stream program corresponds to one MediaConvert output. The PMT lists the types of data in a program along with their PID. Downstream systems and players use the program map table to look up the PID for each type of data it accesses and then uses the PIDs to locate specific data within the asset.

H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization

Only use this setting when you change the default value, AUTO, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization is Disabled. Change this value to Enabled to reduce I-frame pop. I-frame pop appears as a visual flicker that can arise when the encoder saves bits by copying some macroblocks many times from frame to frame, and then refreshes them at the I-frame. When you enable this setting, the encoder updates these macroblocks slightly more often to smooth out the flicker. To manually enable or disable H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.

If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction.

  • INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE

  • SPECIFIED

H264FramerateConversionAlgorithm

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

  • INTERPOLATE

  • FRAMEFORMER

H264GopBReference

Specify whether to allow B-frames to be referenced by other frame types. To use reference B-frames when your GOP structure has 1 or more B-frames: Leave blank or keep the default value Enabled. We recommend that you choose Enabled to help improve the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. To not use reference B-frames: Choose Disabled.

  • DISABLED

  • ENABLED

H264GopSizeUnits

Specify how the transcoder determines GOP size for this output. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. To enable this automatic behavior, choose Auto and and leave GOP size blank. By default, if you don't specify GOP mode control, MediaConvert will use automatic behavior. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, set GOP mode control to Auto and leave GOP size blank in each output in your output group. To explicitly specify the GOP length, choose Specified, frames or Specified, seconds and then provide the GOP length in the related setting GOP size.

  • FRAMES

  • SECONDS

  • AUTO

H264InterlaceMode

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

  • PROGRESSIVE

  • TOP_FIELD

  • BOTTOM_FIELD

  • FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD

  • FOLLOW_BOTTOM_FIELD

H264ParControl

Optional. Specify how the service determines the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) for this output. The default behavior, Follow source, uses the PAR from your input video for your output. To specify a different PAR in the console, choose any value other than Follow source. When you choose SPECIFIED for this setting, you must also specify values for the parNumerator and parDenominator settings.

  • INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE

H264QualityTuningLevel

The Quality tuning level you choose represents a trade-off between the encoding speed of your job and the output video quality. For the fastest encoding speed at the cost of video quality: Choose Single pass. For a good balance between encoding speed and video quality: Leave blank or keep the default value Single pass HQ. For the best video quality, at the cost of encoding speed: Choose Multi pass HQ. MediaConvert performs an analysis pass on your input followed by an encoding pass. Outputs that use this feature incur pro-tier pricing.

  • SINGLE_PASS

  • SINGLE_PASS_HQ

  • MULTI_PASS_HQ

H264QvbrSettings

Settings for quality-defined variable bitrate encoding with the H.264 codec. Use these settings only when you set QVBR for Rate control mode.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
maxAverageBitrate

integer

Minimum: 1000

Maximum: 1152000000

False

Use this setting only when Rate control mode is QVBR and Quality tuning level is Multi-pass HQ. For Max average bitrate values suited to the complexity of your input video, the service limits the average bitrate of the video part of this output to the value that you choose. That is, the total size of the video element is less than or equal to the value you set multiplied by the number of seconds of encoded output.

qvbrQualityLevel

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10

False

Use this setting only when you set Rate control mode to QVBR. Specify the target quality level for this output. MediaConvert determines the right number of bits to use for each part of the video to maintain the video quality that you specify. When you keep the default value, AUTO, MediaConvert picks a quality level for you, based on characteristics of your input video. If you prefer to specify a quality level, specify a number from 1 through 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

qvbrQualityLevelFineTune

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

Maximum: 1.0

False

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

H264RateControlMode

Use this setting to specify whether this output has a variable bitrate (VBR), constant bitrate (CBR) or quality-defined variable bitrate (QVBR).

  • VBR

H264SaliencyAwareEncoding

Specify whether to apply Saliency aware encoding to your output. Use to improve the perceptual video quality of your output by allocating more encoding bits to the prominent or noticeable parts of your content. To apply saliency aware encoding, when possible: We recommend that you choose Preferred. The effects of Saliency aware encoding are best seen in lower bitrate outputs. When you choose Preferred, note that Saliency aware encoding will only apply to outputs that are 720p or higher in resolution. To not apply saliency aware encoding, prioritizing encoding speed over perceptual video quality: Choose Disabled.

  • DISABLED

  • PREFERRED

H264ScanTypeConversionMode

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

  • INTERLACED

  • INTERLACED_OPTIMIZE

H264SceneChangeDetect

Enable this setting to insert I-frames at scene changes that the service automatically detects. This improves video quality and is enabled by default. If this output uses QVBR, choose Transition detection for further video quality improvement. For more information about QVBR, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/mediaconvert/cbr-vbr-qvbr.

  • DISABLED

  • ENABLED

  • TRANSITION_DETECTION

H264Settings

Required when you set Codec to the value H_264.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
adaptiveQuantization

H264AdaptiveQuantization

False

Keep the default value, Auto, for this setting to have MediaConvert automatically apply the best types of quantization for your video content. When you want to apply your quantization settings manually, you must set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than Auto. Use this setting to specify the strength of any adaptive quantization filters that you enable. If you don't want MediaConvert to do any adaptive quantization in this transcode, set Adaptive quantization to Off. Related settings: The value that you choose here applies to the following settings: H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization, H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization, and H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization.

bandwidthReductionFilter

BandwidthReductionFilter

False

The Bandwidth reduction filter increases the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. Use to lower the bitrate of your constant quality QVBR output, with little or no perceptual decrease in quality. Or, use to increase the video quality of outputs with other rate control modes relative to the bitrate that you specify. Bandwidth reduction increases further when your input is low quality or noisy. Outputs that use this feature incur pro-tier pricing. When you include Bandwidth reduction filter, you cannot include the Noise reducer preprocessor.

bitrate

integer

Minimum: 1000

Maximum: 1152000000

False

Specify the average bitrate in bits per second. Required for VBR and CBR. For MS Smooth outputs, bitrates must be unique when rounded down to the nearest multiple of 1000.

codecLevel

H264CodecLevel

False

Specify an H.264 level that is consistent with your output video settings. If you aren't sure what level to specify, choose Auto.

codecProfile

H264CodecProfile

False

H.264 Profile. High 4:2:2 and 10-bit profiles are only available with the AVC-I License.

dynamicSubGop

H264DynamicSubGop

False

Specify whether to allow the number of B-frames in your output GOP structure to vary or not depending on your input video content. To improve the subjective video quality of your output that has high-motion content: Leave blank or keep the default value Adaptive. MediaConvert will use fewer B-frames for high-motion video content than low-motion content. The maximum number of B- frames is limited by the value that you choose for B-frames between reference frames. To use the same number B-frames for all types of content: Choose Static.

endOfStreamMarkers

H264EndOfStreamMarkers

False

Optionally include or suppress markers at the end of your output that signal the end of the video stream. To include end of stream markers: Leave blank or keep the default value, Include. To not include end of stream markers: Choose Suppress. This is useful when your output will be inserted into another stream.

entropyEncoding

H264EntropyEncoding

False

Entropy encoding mode. Use CABAC (must be in Main or High profile) or CAVLC.

fieldEncoding

H264FieldEncoding

False

The video encoding method for your MPEG-4 AVC output. Keep the default value, PAFF, to have MediaConvert use PAFF encoding for interlaced outputs. Choose Force field to disable PAFF encoding and create separate interlaced fields. Choose MBAFF to disable PAFF and have MediaConvert use MBAFF encoding for interlaced outputs.

flickerAdaptiveQuantization

H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization

False

Only use this setting when you change the default value, AUTO, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization is Disabled. Change this value to Enabled to reduce I-frame pop. I-frame pop appears as a visual flicker that can arise when the encoder saves bits by copying some macroblocks many times from frame to frame, and then refreshes them at the I-frame. When you enable this setting, the encoder updates these macroblocks slightly more often to smooth out the flicker. To manually enable or disable H264FlickerAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.

framerateControl

H264FramerateControl

False

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction.

framerateConversionAlgorithm

H264FramerateConversionAlgorithm

False

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

framerateDenominator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

framerateNumerator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

gopBReference

H264GopBReference

False

Specify whether to allow B-frames to be referenced by other frame types. To use reference B-frames when your GOP structure has 1 or more B-frames: Leave blank or keep the default value Enabled. We recommend that you choose Enabled to help improve the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. To not use reference B-frames: Choose Disabled.

gopClosedCadence

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Specify the relative frequency of open to closed GOPs in this output. For example, if you want to allow four open GOPs and then require a closed GOP, set this value to 5. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. In the console, do this by keeping the default empty value. If you do explicitly specify a value, for segmented outputs, don't set this value to 0.

gopSize

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

False

Use this setting only when you set GOP mode control to Specified, frames or Specified, seconds. Specify the GOP length using a whole number of frames or a decimal value of seconds. MediaConvert will interpret this value as frames or seconds depending on the value you choose for GOP mode control. If you want to allow MediaConvert to automatically determine GOP size, leave GOP size blank and set GOP mode control to Auto. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, leave GOP size blank and set GOP mode control to Auto in each output in your output group.

gopSizeUnits

H264GopSizeUnits

False

Specify how the transcoder determines GOP size for this output. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. To enable this automatic behavior, choose Auto and and leave GOP size blank. By default, if you don't specify GOP mode control, MediaConvert will use automatic behavior. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, set GOP mode control to Auto and leave GOP size blank in each output in your output group. To explicitly specify the GOP length, choose Specified, frames or Specified, seconds and then provide the GOP length in the related setting GOP size.

hrdBufferFinalFillPercentage

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

False

If your downstream systems have strict buffer requirements: Specify the minimum percentage of the HRD buffer that's available at the end of each encoded video segment. For the best video quality: Set to 0 or leave blank to automatically determine the final buffer fill percentage.

hrdBufferInitialFillPercentage

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

False

Percentage of the buffer that should initially be filled (HRD buffer model).

hrdBufferSize

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 1152000000

False

Size of buffer (HRD buffer model) in bits. For example, enter five megabits as 5000000.

interlaceMode

H264InterlaceMode

False

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

maxBitrate

integer

Minimum: 1000

Maximum: 1152000000

False

Maximum bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000. Required when Rate control mode is QVBR.

minIInterval

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 30

False

Specify the minimum number of frames allowed between two IDR-frames in your output. This includes frames created at the start of a GOP or a scene change. Use Min I-Interval to improve video compression by varying GOP size when two IDR-frames would be created near each other. For example, if a regular cadence-driven IDR-frame would fall within 5 frames of a scene-change IDR-frame, and you set Min I-interval to 5, then the encoder would only write an IDR-frame for the scene-change. In this way, one GOP is shortened or extended. If a cadence-driven IDR-frame would be further than 5 frames from a scene-change IDR-frame, then the encoder leaves all IDR-frames in place. To use an automatically determined interval: We recommend that you keep this value blank. This allows for MediaConvert to use an optimal setting according to the characteristics of your input video, and results in better video compression. To manually specify an interval: Enter a value from 1 to 30. Use when your downstream systems have specific GOP size requirements. To disable GOP size variance: Enter 0. MediaConvert will only create IDR-frames at the start of your output's cadence-driven GOP. Use when your downstream systems require a regular GOP size.

numberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 7

False

Specify the number of B-frames between reference frames in this output. For the best video quality: Leave blank. MediaConvert automatically determines the number of B-frames to use based on the characteristics of your input video. To manually specify the number of B-frames between reference frames: Enter an integer from 0 to 7.

numberReferenceFrames

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 6

False

Number of reference frames to use. The encoder may use more than requested if using B-frames and/or interlaced encoding.

parControl

H264ParControl

False

Optional. Specify how the service determines the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) for this output. The default behavior, Follow source, uses the PAR from your input video for your output. To specify a different PAR in the console, choose any value other than Follow source. When you choose SPECIFIED for this setting, you must also specify values for the parNumerator and parDenominator settings.

parDenominator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parDenominator is 33.

parNumerator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parNumerator is 40.

qualityTuningLevel

H264QualityTuningLevel

False

The Quality tuning level you choose represents a trade-off between the encoding speed of your job and the output video quality. For the fastest encoding speed at the cost of video quality: Choose Single pass. For a good balance between encoding speed and video quality: Leave blank or keep the default value Single pass HQ. For the best video quality, at the cost of encoding speed: Choose Multi pass HQ. MediaConvert performs an analysis pass on your input followed by an encoding pass. Outputs that use this feature incur pro-tier pricing.

qvbrSettings

H264QvbrSettings

False

Settings for quality-defined variable bitrate encoding with the H.265 codec. Use these settings only when you set QVBR for Rate control mode.

rateControlMode

H264RateControlMode

False

Use this setting to specify whether this output has a variable bitrate (VBR), constant bitrate (CBR) or quality-defined variable bitrate (QVBR).

repeatPps

H264RepeatPps

False

Places a PPS header on each encoded picture, even if repeated.

saliencyAwareEncoding

H264SaliencyAwareEncoding

False

Specify whether to apply Saliency aware encoding to your output. Use to improve the perceptual video quality of your output by allocating more encoding bits to the prominent or noticeable parts of your content. To apply saliency aware encoding, when possible: We recommend that you choose Preferred. The effects of Saliency aware encoding are best seen in lower bitrate outputs. When you choose Preferred, note that Saliency aware encoding will only apply to outputs that are 720p or higher in resolution. To not apply saliency aware encoding, prioritizing encoding speed over perceptual video quality: Choose Disabled.

scanTypeConversionMode

H264ScanTypeConversionMode

False

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

sceneChangeDetect

H264SceneChangeDetect

False

Enable this setting to insert I-frames at scene changes that the service automatically detects. This improves video quality and is enabled by default. If this output uses QVBR, choose Transition detection for further video quality improvement. For more information about QVBR, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/mediaconvert/cbr-vbr-qvbr.

slices

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 32

False

Number of slices per picture. Must be less than or equal to the number of macroblock rows for progressive pictures, and less than or equal to half the number of macroblock rows for interlaced pictures.

slowPal

H264SlowPal

False

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output. When you enable slow PAL, MediaConvert relabels the video frames to 25 fps and resamples your audio to keep it synchronized with the video. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Required settings: You must also set Framerate to 25.

softness

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 128

False

Ignore this setting unless you need to comply with a specification that requires a specific value. If you don't have a specification requirement, we recommend that you adjust the softness of your output by using a lower value for the setting Sharpness or by enabling a noise reducer filter. The Softness setting specifies the quantization matrices that the encoder uses. Keep the default value, 0, for flat quantization. Choose the value 1 or 16 to use the default JVT softening quantization matricies from the H.264 specification. Choose a value from 17 to 128 to use planar interpolation. Increasing values from 17 to 128 result in increasing reduction of high-frequency data. The value 128 results in the softest video.

spatialAdaptiveQuantization

H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization

False

Only use this setting when you change the default value, Auto, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization is Enabled. Keep this default value to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to set H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization to Disabled. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher. To manually enable or disable H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.

syntax

H264Syntax

False

Produces a bitstream compliant with SMPTE RP-2027.

telecine

H264Telecine

False

When you do frame rate conversion from 23.976 frames per second (fps) to 29.97 fps, and your output scan type is interlaced, you can optionally enable hard or soft telecine to create a smoother picture. Hard telecine produces a 29.97i output. Soft telecine produces an output with a 23.976 output that signals to the video player device to do the conversion during play back. When you keep the default value, None, MediaConvert does a standard frame rate conversion to 29.97 without doing anything with the field polarity to create a smoother picture.

temporalAdaptiveQuantization

H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization

False

Only use this setting when you change the default value, AUTO, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization is Enabled. Keep this default value to adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas of the frame that aren't moving and uses more bits on complex objects with sharp edges that move a lot. For example, this feature improves the readability of text tickers on newscasts and scoreboards on sports matches. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen that doesn't have moving objects with sharp edges, such as sports athletes' faces, you might choose to set H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization to Disabled. Related setting: When you enable temporal quantization, adjust the strength of the filter with the setting Adaptive quantization. To manually enable or disable H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.

unregisteredSeiTimecode

H264UnregisteredSeiTimecode

False

Inserts timecode for each frame as 4 bytes of an unregistered SEI message.

H264SlowPal

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output. When you enable slow PAL, MediaConvert relabels the video frames to 25 fps and resamples your audio to keep it synchronized with the video. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Required settings: You must also set Framerate to 25.

For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher. To manually enable or disable H264SpatialAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.

H264Telecine

When you do frame rate conversion from 23.976 frames per second (fps) to 29.97 fps, and your output scan type is interlaced, you can optionally enable hard or soft telecine to create a smoother picture. Hard telecine produces a 29.97i output. Soft telecine produces an output with a 23.976 output that signals to the video player device to do the conversion during play back. When you keep the default value, None, MediaConvert does a standard frame rate conversion to 29.97 without doing anything with the field polarity to create a smoother picture.

  • NONE

  • SOFT

  • HARD

H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization

Only use this setting when you change the default value, AUTO, for the setting H264AdaptiveQuantization. When you keep all defaults, excluding H264AdaptiveQuantization and all other adaptive quantization from your JSON job specification, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. When you set H264AdaptiveQuantization to a value other than AUTO, the default value for H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization is Enabled. Keep this default value to adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas of the frame that aren't moving and uses more bits on complex objects with sharp edges that move a lot. For example, this feature improves the readability of text tickers on newscasts and scoreboards on sports matches. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen that doesn't have moving objects with sharp edges, such as sports athletes' faces, you might choose to set H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization to Disabled. Related setting: When you enable temporal quantization, adjust the strength of the filter with the setting Adaptive quantization. To manually enable or disable H264TemporalAdaptiveQuantization, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than AUTO.

H265AdaptiveQuantization

When you set Adaptive Quantization to Auto, or leave blank, MediaConvert automatically applies quantization to improve the video quality of your output. Set Adaptive Quantization to Low, Medium, High, Higher, or Max to manually control the strength of the quantization filter. When you do, you can specify a value for Spatial Adaptive Quantization, Temporal Adaptive Quantization, and Flicker Adaptive Quantization, to further control the quantization filter. Set Adaptive Quantization to Off to apply no quantization to your output.

H265DynamicSubGop

Choose Adaptive to improve subjective video quality for high-motion content. This will cause the service to use fewer B-frames (which infer information based on other frames) for high-motion portions of the video and more B-frames for low-motion portions. The maximum number of B-frames is limited by the value you provide for the setting B frames between reference frames.

  • ADAPTIVE

  • STATIC

H265EndOfStreamMarkers

Optionally include or suppress markers at the end of your output that signal the end of the video stream. To include end of stream markers: Leave blank or keep the default value, Include. To not include end of stream markers: Choose Suppress. This is useful when your output will be inserted into another stream.

  • INCLUDE

  • SUPPRESS

H265FlickerAdaptiveQuantization

Enable this setting to have the encoder reduce I-frame pop. I-frame pop appears as a visual flicker that can arise when the encoder saves bits by copying some macroblocks many times from frame to frame, and then refreshes them at the I-frame. When you enable this setting, the encoder updates these macroblocks slightly more often to smooth out the flicker. This setting is disabled by default. Related setting: In addition to enabling this setting, you must also set adaptiveQuantization to a value other than Off.

  • DISABLED

  • ENABLED

H265FramerateControl

Use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction.

  • INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE

  • SPECIFIED

H265FramerateConversionAlgorithm

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

  • DUPLICATE_DROP

  • INTERPOLATE

  • FRAMEFORMER

H265GopBReference

Specify whether to allow B-frames to be referenced by other frame types. To use reference B-frames when your GOP structure has 1 or more B-frames: Leave blank or keep the default value Enabled. We recommend that you choose Enabled to help improve the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. To not use reference B-frames: Choose Disabled.

  • DISABLED

  • ENABLED

H265GopSizeUnits

Specify how the transcoder determines GOP size for this output. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. To enable this automatic behavior, choose Auto and and leave GOP size blank. By default, if you don't specify GOP mode control, MediaConvert will use automatic behavior. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, set GOP mode control to Auto and leave GOP size blank in each output in your output group. To explicitly specify the GOP length, choose Specified, frames or Specified, seconds and then provide the GOP length in the related setting GOP size.

  • FRAMES

  • SECONDS

  • AUTO

H265InterlaceMode

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

  • PROGRESSIVE

  • TOP_FIELD

  • BOTTOM_FIELD

  • FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD

  • FOLLOW_BOTTOM_FIELD

H265ParControl

Optional. Specify how the service determines the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) for this output. The default behavior, Follow source, uses the PAR from your input video for your output. To specify a different PAR, choose any value other than Follow source. When you choose SPECIFIED for this setting, you must also specify values for the parNumerator and parDenominator settings.

  • INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE

  • SPECIFIED

H265QualityTuningLevel

Optional. Use Quality tuning level to choose how you want to trade off encoding speed for output video quality. The default behavior is faster, lower quality, single-pass encoding.

  • SINGLE_PASS

  • SINGLE_PASS_HQ

  • MULTI_PASS_HQ

H265QvbrSettings

Settings for quality-defined variable bitrate encoding with the H.265 codec. Use these settings only when you set QVBR for Rate control mode.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
maxAverageBitrate

integer

Minimum: 1000

Maximum: 1466400000

False

Use this setting only when Rate control mode is QVBR and Quality tuning level is Multi-pass HQ. For Max average bitrate values suited to the complexity of your input video, the service limits the average bitrate of the video part of this output to the value that you choose. That is, the total size of the video element is less than or equal to the value you set multiplied by the number of seconds of encoded output.

qvbrQualityLevel

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 10

False

Use this setting only when you set Rate control mode to QVBR. Specify the target quality level for this output. MediaConvert determines the right number of bits to use for each part of the video to maintain the video quality that you specify. When you keep the default value, AUTO, MediaConvert picks a quality level for you, based on characteristics of your input video. If you prefer to specify a quality level, specify a number from 1 through 10. Use higher numbers for greater quality. Level 10 results in nearly lossless compression. The quality level for most broadcast-quality transcodes is between 6 and 9. Optionally, to specify a value between whole numbers, also provide a value for the setting qvbrQualityLevelFineTune. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33.

qvbrQualityLevelFineTune

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

Maximum: 1.0

False

Optional. Specify a value here to set the QVBR quality to a level that is between whole numbers. For example, if you want your QVBR quality level to be 7.33, set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .33. MediaConvert rounds your QVBR quality level to the nearest third of a whole number. For example, if you set qvbrQualityLevel to 7 and you set qvbrQualityLevelFineTune to .25, your actual QVBR quality level is 7.33.

H265RateControlMode

Use this setting to specify whether this output has a variable bitrate (VBR), constant bitrate (CBR) or quality-defined variable bitrate (QVBR).

  • VBR

  • OFF

H265ScanTypeConversionMode

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

  • INTERLACED

  • INTERLACED_OPTIMIZE

H265SceneChangeDetect

Enable this setting to insert I-frames at scene changes that the service automatically detects. This improves video quality and is enabled by default.

Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

gopBReference

H265GopBReference

False

Specify whether to allow B-frames to be referenced by other frame types. To use reference B-frames when your GOP structure has 1 or more B-frames: Leave blank or keep the default value Enabled. We recommend that you choose Enabled to help improve the video quality of your output relative to its bitrate. To not use reference B-frames: Choose Disabled.

gopClosedCadence

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Specify the relative frequency of open to closed GOPs in this output. For example, if you want to allow four open GOPs and then require a closed GOP, set this value to 5. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. To enable this automatic behavior, do this by keeping the default empty value. If you do explicitly specify a value, for segmented outputs, don't set this value to 0.

gopSize

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

False

Use this setting only when you set GOP mode control to Specified, frames or Specified, seconds. Specify the GOP length using a whole number of frames or a decimal value of seconds. MediaConvert will interpret this value as frames or seconds depending on the value you choose for GOP mode control. If you want to allow MediaConvert to automatically determine GOP size, leave GOP size blank and set GOP mode control to Auto. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, leave GOP size blank and set GOP mode control to Auto in each output in your output group.

gopSizeUnits

H265GopSizeUnits

False

Specify how the transcoder determines GOP size for this output. We recommend that you have the transcoder automatically choose this value for you based on characteristics of your input video. To enable this automatic behavior, choose Auto and and leave GOP size blank. By default, if you don't specify GOP mode control, MediaConvert will use automatic behavior. If your output group specifies HLS, DASH, or CMAF, set GOP mode control to Auto and leave GOP size blank in each output in your output group. To explicitly specify the GOP length, choose Specified, frames or Specified, seconds and then provide the GOP length in the related setting GOP size.

hrdBufferFinalFillPercentage

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

False

If your downstream systems have strict buffer requirements: Specify the minimum percentage of the HRD buffer that's available at the end of each encoded video segment. For the best video quality: Set to 0 or leave blank to automatically determine the final buffer fill percentage.

hrdBufferInitialFillPercentage

Maximum: 100

False

Percentage of the buffer that should initially be filled (HRD buffer model).

hrdBufferSize

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 1466400000

False

Size of buffer (HRD buffer model) in bits. For example, enter five megabits as 5000000.

interlaceMode

H265InterlaceMode

False

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

maxBitrate

integer

Minimum: 1000

Maximum: 1466400000

False

Maximum bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000. Required when Rate control mode is QVBR.

minIInterval

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 30

False

Specify the minimum number of frames allowed between two IDR-frames in your output. This includes frames created at the start of a GOP or a scene change. Use Min I-Interval to improve video compression by varying GOP size when two IDR-frames would be created near each other. For example, if a regular cadence-driven IDR-frame would fall within 5 frames of a scene-change IDR-frame, and you set Min I-interval to 5, then the encoder would only write an IDR-frame for the scene-change. In this way, one GOP is shortened or extended. If a cadence-driven IDR-frame would be further than 5 frames from a scene-change IDR-frame, then the encoder leaves all IDR-frames in place. To use an automatically determined interval: We recommend that you keep this value blank. This allows for MediaConvert to use an optimal setting according to the characteristics of your input video, and results in better video compression. To manually specify an interval: Enter a value from 1 to 30. Use when your downstream systems have specific GOP size requirements. To disable GOP size variance: Enter 0. MediaConvert will only create IDR-frames at the start of your output's cadence-driven GOP. Use when your downstream systems require a regular GOP size.

numberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 7

False

Specify the number of B-frames between reference frames in this output. For the best video quality: Leave blank. MediaConvert automatically determines the number of B-frames to use based on the characteristics of your input video. To manually specify the number of B-frames between reference frames: Enter an integer from 0 to 7.

parDenominator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parDenominator is 33.

parNumerator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parNumerator is 40.

qualityTuningLevel

H265QualityTuningLevel

False

Optional. Use Quality tuning level to choose how you want to trade off encoding speed for output video quality. The default behavior is faster, lower quality, single-pass encoding.

qvbrSettings

H265QvbrSettings

False

Settings for quality-defined variable bitrate encoding with the H.265 codec. Use these settings only when you set QVBR for Rate control mode.

rateControlMode

H265RateControlMode

False

Use this setting to specify whether this output has a variable bitrate (VBR), constant bitrate (CBR) or quality-defined variable bitrate (QVBR).

sampleAdaptiveOffsetFilterMode

H265SampleAdaptiveOffsetFilterMode

False

Specify Sample Adaptive Offset (SAO) filter strength. Adaptive mode dynamically selects best strength based on content

scanTypeConversionMode

H265ScanTypeConversionMode

False

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

sceneChangeDetect

H265SceneChangeDetect

False

Enable this setting to insert I-frames at scene changes that the service automatically detects. This improves video quality and is enabled by default. If this output uses QVBR, choose Transition detection for further video quality improvement. For more information about QVBR, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/mediaconvert/cbr-vbr-qvbr.

slices

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 32

False

Number of slices per picture. Must be less than or equal to the number of macroblock rows for progressive pictures, and less than or equal to half the number of macroblock rows for interlaced pictures.

slowPal

H265SlowPal

False

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output. When you enable slow PAL, MediaConvert relabels the video frames to 25 fps and resamples your audio to keep it synchronized with the video. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Required settings: You must also set Framerate to 25.

spatialAdaptiveQuantization

H265SpatialAdaptiveQuantization

False

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher.

telecine

H265Telecine

False

This field applies only if the Streams > Advanced > Framerate field is set to 29.970. This field works with the Streams > Advanced > Preprocessors > Deinterlacer field and the Streams > Advanced > Interlaced Mode field to identify the scan type for the output: Progressive, Interlaced, Hard Telecine or Soft Telecine. - Hard: produces 29.97i output from 23.976 input. - Soft: produces 23.976; the player converts this output to 29.97i.

temporalAdaptiveQuantization

H265TemporalAdaptiveQuantization

False

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas of the frame that aren't moving and uses more bits on complex objects with sharp edges that move a lot. For example, this feature improves the readability of text tickers on newscasts and scoreboards on sports matches. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen that doesn't have moving objects with sharp edges, such as sports athletes' faces, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable temporal quantization, adjust the strength of the filter with the setting Adaptive quantization.

temporalIds

H265TemporalIds

False

Enables temporal layer identifiers in the encoded bitstream. Up to 3 layers are supported depending on GOP structure: I- and P-frames form one layer, reference B-frames can form a second layer and non-reference b-frames can form a third layer. Decoders can optionally decode only the lower temporal layers to generate a lower frame rate output. For example, given a bitstream with temporal IDs and with b-frames = 1 (i.e. IbPbPb display order), a decoder could decode all the frames for full frame rate output or only the I and P frames (lowest temporal layer) for a half frame rate output.

tiles

H265Tiles

False

Enable use of tiles, allowing horizontal as well as vertical subdivision of the encoded pictures.

unregisteredSeiTimecode

H265UnregisteredSeiTimecode

False

Inserts timecode for each frame as 4 bytes of an unregistered SEI message.

writeMp4PackagingType

H265WriteMp4PackagingType

False

If the location of parameter set NAL units doesn't matter in your workflow, ignore this setting. Use this setting only with CMAF or DASH outputs, or with standalone file outputs in an MPEG-4 container (MP4 outputs). Choose HVC1 to mark your output as HVC1. This makes your output compliant with the following specification: ISO IECJTC1 SC29 N13798 Text ISO/IEC FDIS 14496-15 3rd Edition. For these outputs, the service stores parameter set NAL units in the sample headers but not in the samples directly. For MP4 outputs, when you choose HVC1, your output video might not work properly with some downstream systems and video players. The service defaults to marking your output as HEV1. For these outputs, the service writes parameter set NAL units directly into the samples.

H265SlowPal

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output. When you enable slow PAL, MediaConvert relabels the video frames to 25 fps and resamples your audio to keep it synchronized with the video. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Required settings: You must also set Framerate to 25.

  • DISABLED

  • ENABLED

H265SpatialAdaptiveQuantization

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher.

  • DISABLED

  • ENABLED

H265Telecine

This field applies only if the Streams > Advanced > Framerate field is set to 29.970. This field works with the Streams > Advanced > Preprocessors > Deinterlacer field and the Streams > Advanced > Interlaced Mode field to identify the scan type for the output: Progressive, Interlaced, Hard Telecine or Soft Telecine. - Hard: produces 29.97i output from 23.976 input. - Soft: produces 23.976; the player converts this output to 29.97i.

  • NONE

  • SOFT

  • HARD

H265TemporalAdaptiveQuantization

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas of the frame that aren't moving and uses more bits on complex objects with sharp edges that move a lot. For example, this feature improves the readability of text tickers on newscasts and scoreboards on sports matches. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen that doesn't have moving objects with sharp edges, such as sports athletes' faces, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable temporal quantization, adjust the strength of the filter with the setting Adaptive quantization.

  • DISABLED

H265TemporalIds

Enables temporal layer identifiers in the encoded bitstream. Up to 3 layers are supported depending on GOP structure: I- and P-frames form one layer, reference B-frames can form a second layer and non-reference b-frames can form a third layer. Decoders can optionally decode only the lower temporal layers to generate a lower frame rate output. For example, given a bitstream with temporal IDs and with b-frames = 1 (i.e. IbPbPb display order), a decoder could decode all the frames for full frame rate output or only the I and P frames (lowest temporal layer) for a half frame rate output.

HDRToSDRToneMapper

Specify how MediaConvert maps brightness and colors from your HDR input to your SDR output. The mode that you select represents a creative choice, with different tradeoffs in the details and tones of your output. To maintain details in bright or saturated areas of your output: Choose Preserve details. For some sources, your SDR output may look less bright and less saturated when compared to your HDR source. MediaConvert automatically applies this mode for HLG sources, regardless of your choice. For a bright and saturated output: Choose Vibrant. We recommend that you choose this mode when any of your source content is HDR10, and for the best results when it is mastered for 1000 nits. You may notice loss of details in bright or saturated areas of your output. HDR to SDR tone mapping has no effect when your input is SDR.

  • PRESERVE_DETAILS

  • VIBRANT

Hdr10Metadata

Use these settings to specify static color calibration metadata, as defined by SMPTE ST 2086. These values don't affect the pixel values that are encoded in the video stream. They are intended to help the downstream video player display content in a way that reflects the intentions of the the content creator.

M2tsAudioDuration

Specify this setting only when your output will be consumed by a downstream repackaging workflow that is sensitive to very small duration differences between video and audio. For this situation, choose Match video duration. In all other cases, keep the default value, Default codec duration. When you choose Match video duration, MediaConvert pads the output audio streams with silence or trims them to ensure that the total duration of each audio stream is at least as long as the total duration of the video stream. After padding or trimming, the audio stream duration is no more than one frame longer than the video stream. MediaConvert applies audio padding or trimming only to the end of the last segment of the output. For unsegmented outputs, MediaConvert adds padding only to the end of the file. When you keep the default value, any minor discrepancies between audio and video duration will depend on your output audio codec.

  • DEFAULT_CODEC_DURATION

  • MATCH_VIDEO_DURATION

M2tsBufferModel

Controls what buffer model to use for accurate interleaving. If set to MULTIPLEX, use multiplex buffer model. If set to NONE, this can lead to lower latency, but low-memory devices may not be able to play back the stream without interruptions.

  • MULTIPLEX

  • NONE

M2tsDataPtsControl

If you select ALIGN_TO_VIDEO, MediaConvert writes captions and data packets with Presentation Timestamp (PTS) values greater than or equal to the first video packet PTS (MediaConvert drops captions and data packets with lesser PTS values). Keep the default value to allow all PTS values.

  • AUTO

  • ALIGN_TO_VIDEO

M2tsEbpAudioInterval

When set to VIDEO_AND_FIXED_INTERVALS, audio EBP markers will be added to partitions 3 and 4. The interval between these additional markers will be fixed, and will be slightly shorter than the video EBP marker interval. When set to VIDEO_INTERVAL, these additional markers will not be inserted. Only applicable when EBP segmentation markers are is selected (segmentationMarkers is EBP or EBP_LEGACY).

  • VIDEO_AND_FIXED_INTERVALS

  • VIDEO_INTERVAL

M2tsEbpPlacement

Selects which PIDs to place EBP markers on. They can either be placed only on the video PID, or on both the video PID and all audio PIDs. Only applicable when EBP segmentation markers are is selected (segmentationMarkers is EBP or EBP_LEGACY).

  • VIDEO_AND_AUDIO_PIDS

  • VIDEO_PID

M2tsEsRateInPes

Controls whether to include the ES Rate field in the PES header.

  • INCLUDE

  • EXCLUDE

M2tsForceTsVideoEbpOrder

Keep the default value unless you know that your audio EBP markers are incorrectly appearing before your video EBP markers. To correct this problem, set this value to Force.

  • FORCE

  • DEFAULT

M2tsKlvMetadata

To include key-length-value metadata in this output: Set KLV metadata insertion to Passthrough. MediaConvert reads KLV metadata present in your input and passes it through to the output transport stream. To exclude this KLV metadata: Set KLV metadata insertion to None or leave blank.

  • PASSTHROUGH

  • NONE

M2tsNielsenId3

If INSERT, Nielsen inaudible tones for media tracking will be detected in the input audio and an equivalent ID3 tag will be inserted in the output.

  • INSERT

  • NONE

M2tsPcrControl

When set to PCR_EVERY_PES_PACKET, a Program Clock Reference value is inserted for every Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) header. This is effective only when the PCR PID is the same as the video or audio elementary stream.

  • PCR_EVERY_PES_PACKET

  • CONFIGURED_PCR_PERIOD

M2tsPreventBufferUnderflow

Specify whether MediaConvert automatically attempts to prevent decoder buffer underflows in your transport stream output. Use if you are seeing decoder buffer underflows in your output and are unable to increase your transport stream's bitrate. For most workflows: We recommend that you keep the default value, Disabled. To prevent decoder buffer underflows in your output, when possible: Choose Enabled. Note that if MediaConvert prevents a decoder buffer underflow in your output, output video quality is reduced and your job will take longer to complete.

  • DISABLED

  • ENABLED

M2tsRateMode

When set to CBR, inserts null packets into transport stream to fill specified bitrate. When set to VBR, the bitrate setting acts as the maximum bitrate, but the output will not be padded up to that bitrate.

  • VBR

  • CBR

M2tsScte35Esam

Settings for SCTE-35 signals from ESAM. Include this in your job settings to put SCTE-35 markers in your HLS and transport stream outputs at the insertion points that you specify in an ESAM XML document. Provide the document in the setting SCC XML.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
scte35EsamPid

integer

Minimum: 32

Maximum: 8182

False

Packet Identifier (PID) of the SCTE-35 stream in the transport stream generated by ESAM.

M2tsScte35Source

For SCTE-35 markers from your input-- Choose Passthrough if you want SCTE-35 markers that appear in your input to also appear in this output. Choose None if you don't want SCTE-35 markers in this output. For SCTE-35 markers from an ESAM XML document-- Choose None. Also provide the ESAM XML as a string in the setting Signal processing notification XML. Also enable ESAM SCTE-35 (include the property scte35Esam).

  • PASSTHROUGH

  • NONE

M2tsSegmentationMarkers

Inserts segmentation markers at each segmentation_time period. rai_segstart sets the Random Access Indicator bit in the adaptation field. rai_adapt sets the RAI bit and adds the current timecode in the private data bytes. psi_segstart inserts PAT and PMT tables at the start of segments. ebp adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field as per OpenCable specification OC-SP-EBP-I01-130118. ebp_legacy adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field using a legacy proprietary format.

  • NONE

  • RAI_SEGSTART

  • RAI_ADAPT

  • PSI_SEGSTART

  • EBP

  • EBP_LEGACY

M2tsSegmentationStyle

The segmentation style parameter controls how segmentation markers are inserted into the transport stream. With avails, it is possible that segments may be truncated, which can influence where future segmentation markers are inserted. When a segmentation style of "reset_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of of $segmentation_time seconds. When a segmentation style of "maintain_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentation_time seconds. Note that EBP lookahead is a slight exception to this rule.

  • MAINTAIN_CADENCE

  • RESET_CADENCE

M2tsSettings

MPEG-2 TS container settings. These apply to outputs in a File output group when the output's container is MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS). In these assets, data is organized by the program map table (PMT). Each transport stream program contains subsets of data, including audio, video, and metadata. Each of these subsets of data has a numerical label called a packet identifier (PID). Each transport stream program corresponds to one MediaConvert output. The PMT lists the types of data in a program along with their PID. Downstream systems and players use the program map table to look up the PID for each type of data it accesses and then uses the PIDs to locate specific data within the asset.

To manually specify an initial PTS offset: Choose Seconds. Then specify the number of seconds with PTS offset.

rateMode

M2tsRateMode

False

When set to CBR, inserts null packets into transport stream to fill specified bitrate. When set to VBR, the bitrate setting acts as the maximum bitrate, but the output will not be padded up to that bitrate.

Inserts segmentation markers at each segmentation_time period. rai_segstart sets the Random Access Indicator bit in the adaptation field. rai_adapt sets the RAI bit and adds the current timecode in the private data bytes. psi_segstart inserts PAT and PMT tables at the start of segments. ebp adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field as per OpenCable specification OC-SP-EBP-I01-130118. ebp_legacy adds Encoder Boundary Point information to the adaptation field using a legacy proprietary format.

segmentationStyle

M2tsSegmentationStyle

False

The segmentation style parameter controls how segmentation markers are inserted into the transport stream. With avails, it is possible that segments may be truncated, which can influence where future segmentation markers are inserted. When a segmentation style of "reset_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will have a duration of of $segmentation_time seconds. When a segmentation style of "maintain_cadence" is selected and a segment is truncated due to an avail, we will not reset the segmentation cadence. This means the subsequent segment will likely be truncated as well. However, all segments after that will have a duration of $segmentation_time seconds. Note that EBP lookahead is a slight exception to this rule.

M3u8AudioDuration

Specify this setting only when your output will be consumed by a downstream repackaging workflow that is sensitive to very small duration differences between video and audio. For this situation, choose Match video duration. In all other cases, keep the default value, Default codec duration. When you choose Match video duration, MediaConvert pads the output audio streams with silence or trims them to ensure that the total duration of each audio stream is at least as long as the total duration of the video stream. After padding or trimming, the audio stream duration is no more than one frame longer than the video stream. MediaConvert applies audio padding or trimming only to the end of the last segment of the output. For unsegmented outputs, MediaConvert adds padding only to the end of the file. When you keep the default value, any minor discrepancies between audio and video duration will depend on your output audio codec.

  • DEFAULT_CODEC_DURATION

  • MATCH_VIDEO_DURATION

M3u8DataPtsControl

This will cause the service to use fewer B-frames (which infer information based on other frames) for high-motion portions of the video and more B-frames for low-motion portions. The maximum number of B-frames is limited by the value you provide for the setting B frames between reference frames.

  • ADAPTIVE

  • STATIC

Mpeg2FramerateControl

If you are using the console, use the Framerate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list or choose Custom. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions. If you choose Custom, specify your frame rate as a fraction.

  • INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE

  • SPECIFIED

Mpeg2FramerateConversionAlgorithm

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

Mpeg2InterlaceMode

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

Mpeg2QualityTuningLevel

Optional. Use Quality tuning level to choose how you want to trade off encoding speed for output video quality. The default behavior is faster, lower quality, single-pass encoding.

  • SINGLE_PASS

  • MULTI_PASS

Mpeg2RateControlMode

Use Rate control mode to specify whether the bitrate is variable (vbr) or constant (cbr).

  • VBR

  • CBR

Mpeg2ScanTypeConversionMode

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

framerateNumerator

integer

Minimum: 24

Maximum: 60000

False

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

gopClosedCadence

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Specify the relative frequency of open to closed GOPs in this output. For example, if you want to allow four open GOPs and then require a closed GOP, set this value to 5. When you create a streaming output, we recommend that you keep the default value, 1, so that players starting mid-stream receive an IDR frame as quickly as possible. Don't set this value to 0; that would break output segmenting.

gopSize

number

Format: float

Minimum: 0.0

False

Specify the interval between keyframes, in seconds or frames, for this output. Default: 12 Related settings: When you specify the GOP size in seconds, set GOP mode control to Specified, seconds. The default value for GOP mode control is Frames.

gopSizeUnits

Mpeg2GopSizeUnits

False

Specify the units for GOP size. If you don't specify a value here, by default the encoder measures GOP size in frames.

hrdBufferFinalFillPercentage

integer

Minimum: 0

False

If your downstream systems have strict buffer requirements: Specify the minimum percentage of the HRD buffer that's available at the end of each encoded video segment. For the best video quality: Set to 0 or leave blank to automatically determine the final buffer fill percentage.

hrdBufferInitialFillPercentage

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

False

Percentage of the buffer that should initially be filled (HRD buffer model).

hrdBufferSize

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 47185920

False

Size of buffer (HRD buffer model) in bits. For example, enter five megabits as 5000000.

interlaceMode

Mpeg2InterlaceMode

False

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

intraDcPrecision

Mpeg2IntraDcPrecision

False

Use Intra DC precision to set quantization precision for intra-block DC coefficients. If you choose the value auto, the service will automatically select the precision based on the per-frame compression ratio.

maxBitrate

integer

Minimum: 1000

Maximum: 300000000

False

Maximum bitrate in bits/second. For example, enter five megabits per second as 5000000.

minIInterval

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 30

False

Specify the minimum number of frames allowed between two IDR-frames in your output. This includes frames created at the start of a GOP or a scene change. Use Min I-Interval to improve video compression by varying GOP size when two IDR-frames would be created near each other. For example, if a regular cadence-driven IDR-frame would fall within 5 frames of a scene-change IDR-frame, and you set Min I-interval to 5, then the encoder would only write an IDR-frame for the scene-change. In this way, one GOP is shortened or extended. If a cadence-driven IDR-frame would be further than 5 frames from a scene-change IDR-frame, then the encoder leaves all IDR-frames in place. To manually specify an interval: Enter a value from 1 to 30. Use when your downstream systems have specific GOP size requirements. To disable GOP size variance: Enter 0. MediaConvert will only create IDR-frames at the start of your output's cadence-driven GOP. Use when your downstream systems require a regular GOP size.

numberBFramesBetweenReferenceFrames

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 7

False

Specify the number of B-frames that MediaConvert puts between reference frames in this output. Valid values are whole numbers from 0 through 7. When you don't specify a value, MediaConvert defaults to 2.

parControl

Mpeg2ParControl

False

Optional. Specify how the service determines the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) for this output. The default behavior, Follow source, uses the PAR from your input video for your output. To specify a different PAR in the console, choose any value other than Follow source. When you choose SPECIFIED for this setting, you must also specify values for the parNumerator and parDenominator settings.

parDenominator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parDenominator is 33.

parNumerator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Required when you set Pixel aspect ratio to SPECIFIED. On the console, this corresponds to any value other than Follow source. When you specify an output pixel aspect ratio (PAR) that is different from your input video PAR, provide your output PAR as a ratio. For example, for D1/DV NTSC widescreen, you would specify the ratio 40:33. In this example, the value for parNumerator is 40.

qualityTuningLevel

Mpeg2QualityTuningLevel

False

Optional. Use Quality tuning level to choose how you want to trade off encoding speed for output video quality. The default behavior is faster, lower quality, single-pass encoding.

rateControlMode

Mpeg2RateControlMode

False

Use Rate control mode to specify whether the bitrate is variable (vbr) or constant (cbr).

scanTypeConversionMode

Mpeg2ScanTypeConversionMode

False

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

sceneChangeDetect

Mpeg2SceneChangeDetect

False

Enable this setting to insert I-frames at scene changes that the service automatically detects. This improves video quality and is enabled by default.

slowPal

Mpeg2SlowPal

False

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output. When you enable slow PAL, MediaConvert relabels the video frames to 25 fps and resamples your audio to keep it synchronized with the video. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Required settings: You must also set Framerate to 25.

softness

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 128

False

Ignore this setting unless you need to comply with a specification that requires a specific value. If you don't have a specification requirement, we recommend that you adjust the softness of your output by using a lower value for the setting Sharpness or by enabling a noise reducer filter. The Softness setting specifies the quantization matrices that the encoder uses. Keep the default value, 0, to use the AWS Elemental default matrices. Choose a value from 17 to 128 to use planar interpolation. Increasing values from 17 to 128 result in increasing reduction of high-frequency data. The value 128 results in the softest video.

spatialAdaptiveQuantization

Mpeg2SpatialAdaptiveQuantization

False

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher.

syntax

Mpeg2Syntax

False

Specify whether this output's video uses the D10 syntax. Keep the default value to not use the syntax. Related settings: When you choose D10 for your MXF profile, you must also set this value to D10.

telecine

Mpeg2Telecine

False

When you do frame rate conversion from 23.976 frames per second (fps) to 29.97 fps, and your output scan type is interlaced, you can optionally enable hard or soft telecine to create a smoother picture. Hard telecine produces a 29.97i output. Soft telecine produces an output with a 23.976 output that signals to the video player device to do the conversion during play back. When you keep the default value, None, MediaConvert does a standard frame rate conversion to 29.97 without doing anything with the field polarity to create a smoother picture.

temporalAdaptiveQuantization

Mpeg2TemporalAdaptiveQuantization

False

Keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas of the frame that aren't moving and uses more bits on complex objects with sharp edges that move a lot. For example, this feature improves the readability of text tickers on newscasts and scoreboards on sports matches. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen that doesn't have moving objects with sharp edges, such as sports athletes' faces, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable temporal quantization, adjust the strength of the filter with the setting Adaptive quantization.

Mpeg2SlowPal

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output. When you enable slow PAL, MediaConvert relabels the video frames to 25 fps and resamples your audio to keep it synchronized with the video. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Required settings: You must also set Framerate to 25.

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 4194303

False

Specify the payload ID that you want associated with this output. Valid values vary depending on your Nagra NexGuard forensic watermarking workflow. Required when you include Nagra NexGuard File Marker watermarking in your job. For PreRelease Content (NGPR/G2), specify an integer from 1 through 4,194,303. You must generate a unique ID for each asset you watermark, and keep a record of which ID you have assigned to each asset. Neither Nagra nor MediaConvert keep track of the relationship between output files and your IDs. For OTT Streaming, create two adaptive bitrate (ABR) stacks for each asset. Do this by setting up two output groups. For one output group, set the value of Payload ID to 0 in every output. For the other output group, set Payload ID to 1 in every output.

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

  • DUPLICATE_DROP

  • INTERPOLATE

  • FRAMEFORMER

ProresInterlaceMode

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

  • PROGRESSIVE

  • TOP_FIELD

  • BOTTOM_FIELD

  • FOLLOW_TOP_FIELD

  • INITIALIZE_FROM_SOURCE

  • SPECIFIED

ProresScanTypeConversionMode

Use this setting for interlaced outputs, when your output frame rate is half of your input frame rate. In this situation, choose Optimized interlacing to create a better quality interlaced output. In this case, each progressive frame from the input corresponds to an interlaced field in the output. Keep the default value, Basic interlacing, for all other output frame rates. With basic interlacing, MediaConvert performs any frame rate conversion first and then interlaces the frames. When you choose Optimized interlacing and you set your output frame rate to a value that isn't suitable for optimized interlacing, MediaConvert automatically falls back to basic interlacing. Required settings: To use optimized interlacing, you must set Telecine to None or Soft. You can't use optimized interlacing for hard telecine outputs. You must also set Interlace mode to a value other than Progressive.

channelMapping

ChannelMapping

False

Channel mapping contains the group of fields that hold the remixing value for each channel, in dB. Specify remix values to indicate how much of the content from your input audio channel you want in your output audio channels. Each instance of the InputChannels or InputChannelsFineTune array specifies these values for one output channel. Use one instance of this array for each output channel. In the console, each array corresponds to a column in the graphical depiction of the mapping matrix. The rows of the graphical matrix correspond to input channels. Valid values are within the range from -60 (mute) through 6. A setting of 0 passes the input channel unchanged to the output channel (no attenuation or amplification). Use InputChannels or InputChannelsFineTune to specify your remix values. Don't use both.

channelsIn

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 64

False

Specify the number of audio channels from your input that you want to use in your output. With remixing, you might combine or split the data in these channels, so the number of channels in your final output might be different. If you are doing both input channel mapping and output channel mapping, the number of output channels in your input mapping must be the same as the number of input channels in your output mapping.

XavcGopBReference

False

Specify whether the encoder uses B-frames as reference frames for other pictures in the same GOP. Choose Allow to allow the encoder to use B-frames as reference frames. Choose Don't allow to prevent the encoder from using B-frames as reference frames.

gopClosedCadence

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

False

Frequency of closed GOPs. In streaming applications, it is recommended that this be set to 1 so a decoder joining mid-stream will receive an IDR frame as quickly as possible. Setting this value to 0 will break output segmenting.

hrdBufferSize

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 1152000000

False

Specify the size of the buffer that MediaConvert uses in the HRD buffer model for this output. Specify this value in bits; for example, enter five megabits as 5000000. When you don't set this value, or you set it to zero, MediaConvert calculates the default by doubling the bitrate of this output point.

interlaceMode

XavcInterlaceMode

False

Choose the scan line type for the output. Keep the default value, Progressive to create a progressive output, regardless of the scan type of your input. Use Top field first or Bottom field first to create an output that's interlaced with the same field polarity throughout. Use Follow, default top or Follow, default bottom to produce outputs with the same field polarity as the source. For jobs that have multiple inputs, the output field polarity might change over the course of the output. Follow behavior depends on the input scan type. If the source is interlaced, the output will be interlaced with the same polarity as the source. If the source is progressive, the output will be interlaced with top field bottom field first, depending on which of the Follow options you choose.

qualityTuningLevel

XavcHdProfileQualityTuningLevel

False

Optional. Use Quality tuning level to choose how you want to trade off encoding speed for output video quality. The default behavior is faster, lower quality, single-pass encoding.

slices

integer

Minimum: 4

Maximum: 12

False

Number of slices per picture. Must be less than or equal to the number of macroblock rows for progressive pictures, and less than or equal to half the number of macroblock rows for interlaced pictures.

telecine

XavcHdProfileTelecine

False

Ignore this setting unless you set Frame rate (framerateNumerator divided by framerateDenominator) to 29.970. If your input framerate is 23.976, choose Hard. Otherwise, keep the default value None. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/working-with-telecine-and-inverse-telecine.html.

XavcHdProfileTelecine

XavcSettings

Required when you set Codec to the value XAVC.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
adaptiveQuantization

XavcAdaptiveQuantization

False

Keep the default value, Auto, for this setting to have MediaConvert automatically apply the best types of quantization for your video content. When you want to apply your quantization settings manually, you must set Adaptive quantization to a value other than Auto. Use this setting to specify the strength of any adaptive quantization filters that you enable. If you don't want MediaConvert to do any adaptive quantization in this transcode, set Adaptive quantization to Off. Related settings: The value that you choose here applies to the following settings: Flicker adaptive quantization (flickerAdaptiveQuantization), Spatial adaptive quantization, and Temporal adaptive quantization.

entropyEncoding

XavcEntropyEncoding

False

Optional. Choose a specific entropy encoding mode only when you want to override XAVC recommendations. If you choose the value auto, MediaConvert uses the mode that the XAVC file format specifies given this output's operating point.

framerateControl

XavcFramerateControl

False

If you are using the console, use the Frame rate setting to specify the frame rate for this output. If you want to keep the same frame rate as the input video, choose Follow source. If you want to do frame rate conversion, choose a frame rate from the dropdown list. The framerates shown in the dropdown list are decimal approximations of fractions.

framerateConversionAlgorithm

XavcFramerateConversionAlgorithm

False

Choose the method that you want MediaConvert to use when increasing or decreasing the frame rate. For numerically simple conversions, such as 60 fps to 30 fps: We recommend that you keep the default value, Drop duplicate. For numerically complex conversions, to avoid stutter: Choose Interpolate. This results in a smooth picture, but might introduce undesirable video artifacts. For complex frame rate conversions, especially if your source video has already been converted from its original cadence: Choose FrameFormer to do motion-compensated interpolation. FrameFormer uses the best conversion method frame by frame. Note that using FrameFormer increases the transcoding time and incurs a significant add-on cost. When you choose FrameFormer, your input video resolution must be at least 128x96.

framerateDenominator

integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 1001

False

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateDenominator to specify the denominator of this fraction. In this example, use 1001 for the value of FramerateDenominator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Frame rate. In this example, specify 23.976.

framerateNumerator

integer

Minimum: 24

Maximum: 60000

False

When you use the API for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, specify the frame rate as a fraction. For example, 24000 / 1001 = 23.976 fps. Use FramerateNumerator to specify the numerator of this fraction. In this example, use 24000 for the value of FramerateNumerator. When you use the console for transcode jobs that use frame rate conversion, provide the value as a decimal number for Framerate. In this example, specify 23.976.

profile

XavcProfile

False

Specify the XAVC profile for this output. For more information, see the Sony documentation at https://www.xavc-info.org/. Note that MediaConvert doesn't support the interlaced video XAVC operating points for XAVC_HD_INTRA_CBG. To create an interlaced XAVC output, choose the profile XAVC_HD.

slowPal

XavcSlowPal

False

Ignore this setting unless your input frame rate is 23.976 or 24 frames per second (fps). Enable slow PAL to create a 25 fps output by relabeling the video frames and resampling your audio. Note that enabling this setting will slightly reduce the duration of your video. Related settings: You must also set Frame rate to 25.

softness

integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 128

False

Ignore this setting unless your downstream workflow requires that you specify it explicitly. Otherwise, we recommend that you adjust the softness of your output by using a lower value for the setting Sharpness or by enabling a noise reducer filter. The Softness setting specifies the quantization matrices that the encoder uses. Keep the default value, 0, for flat quantization. Choose the value 1 or 16 to use the default JVT softening quantization matricies from the H.264 specification. Choose a value from 17 to 128 to use planar interpolation. Increasing values from 17 to 128 result in increasing reduction of high-frequency data. The value 128 results in the softest video.

spatialAdaptiveQuantization

XavcSpatialAdaptiveQuantization

False

The best way to set up adaptive quantization is to keep the default value, Auto, for the setting Adaptive quantization. When you do so, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. Include this setting in your JSON job specification only when you choose to change the default value for Adaptive quantization. For this setting, keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on spatial variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas that can sustain more distortion with no noticeable visual degradation and uses more bits on areas where any small distortion will be noticeable. For example, complex textured blocks are encoded with fewer bits and smooth textured blocks are encoded with more bits. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen with a lot of complex texture, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable spatial adaptive quantization, set the value for Adaptive quantization depending on your content. For homogeneous content, such as cartoons and video games, set it to Low. For content with a wider variety of textures, set it to High or Higher.

temporalAdaptiveQuantization

XavcTemporalAdaptiveQuantization

False

The best way to set up adaptive quantization is to keep the default value, Auto, for the setting Adaptive quantization. When you do so, MediaConvert automatically applies the best types of quantization for your video content. Include this setting in your JSON job specification only when you choose to change the default value for Adaptive quantization. For this setting, keep the default value, Enabled, to adjust quantization within each frame based on temporal variation of content complexity. When you enable this feature, the encoder uses fewer bits on areas of the frame that aren't moving and uses more bits on complex objects with sharp edges that move a lot. For example, this feature improves the readability of text tickers on newscasts and scoreboards on sports matches. Enabling this feature will almost always improve your video quality. Note, though, that this feature doesn't take into account where the viewer's attention is likely to be. If viewers are likely to be focusing their attention on a part of the screen that doesn't have moving objects with sharp edges, such as sports athletes' faces, you might choose to disable this feature. Related setting: When you enable temporal adaptive quantization, adjust the strength of the filter with the setting Adaptive quantization.
