PreviewTranscoderConfig.properties

The full path of this file is /etc/escenic/engine/common/com/escenic/media/aws/preview/PreviewTranscoderConfig.properties.

In order for the Content Studio media player / timeline editor to work it requires low resolution versions (often called proxy versions) of media objects to work with. As soon as a media object is uploaded or imported into a media content item, therefore, the Video plug-in sends it to Amazon Elastic Transcoder to be transcoded to the required proxy format. PreviewTranscoderConfig.properties contains the configuration settings required to access the Elastic Transcoder for this purpose.

If you do not define a PreviewTranscoderConfig.properties file, then the Content Studio media player / timeline editor will not work. You will be able to publish media content, but you will not be able to preview or edit it in Content Studio.

You need to set the following properties in this file:

pipelineID (required)

The ID of the Elastic Transcoder pipeline to which proxy version transcoding jobs are to be submitted. For example:

pipelineID=pipeline-id

audioPresetID (required)

The ID of the Elastic Transcoder preset you have created for generating audio proxy versions. For example:

audioPresetID=preset-id

videoPresetID (required)

The ID of the Elastic Transcoder preset you have created for generating video proxy versions. For example:

videoPresetID=preset-id
