Output file names and paths - MediaConvert

Output file names and paths

The EventBridge job COMPLETE notification includes details about your output in JSON. This information includes the file names and paths for the outputs of the job—including manifests and media assets.

The files that AWS Elemental MediaConvert creates depends on the output groups that you set up in the job. For example, DASH ISO packages contain an .mpd manifest and .mp4 media fragment files.

You can find output file name and path information in the following properties:

playlistFilePaths

outputFilePaths

The file path to either the media or the manifest, depending on the output group type.

type
