account •The architecture details the transcoding workflow with Qencode. You may provide the source file either by uploading the video or by providing a link to it. The transcoded file is saved to Wasabi.
Configuration
Follow the steps outlined below to configure Qencode to integrate with Wasabi. In this example, Wasabi is used as both the source and destination for the transcoding job.
Log in to the Qencode portal.
Navigate to Transcode Medi page under Transcoding.
Select your Project from the dropdown menu on the right. In the Select Media section, provide the URL of the file. It can be a pre-signed URL or a link to the file if the file is publicly accessible. Click Save.
To generate a pre-signed URL for your file, please refer to How do I generate pre-signed URLs for temporary access with Wasabi?
Note: In the example below, the source video for the job is in a Wasabi bucket, and it is being accessed using a pre-signed URL.
In the Define Destination section, select Generic S3. Provide the required details and click Save.
Bucket name
Endpoint - Service URL of the Wasabi region (s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com)
Access Key ID
Secret Access key
Note: This configuration example uses Wasabi’s us-east-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in Service URLs for Wasabi’s Storage Regions.
In the Select Output Format section, select the required settings for codec and output format. Provide the output path for the transcoded file. Per the example below, the transcoded video file will be saved in the bucket qencodetest, and the file name will be installvideocoding.mp4.
Provide any additional config details if needed, then click Launch transcoding. The JSON script used to run this job is also displayed on the screen.
The Transcoding Request Builder page displays various stages of the job.
The transcoded video file is now available in the bucket, qencodetest.
