Encoding.com has changed the video encoding landscape yet again by bringing all of the power and functionality of our API to the browser and launching a web interface that rivals any desktop video encoding experience. It is easy to throw a lot of features into a browser, but much more difficult to make those features intuitive without sacrificing flexibility or power. Log in, tour the new UI, and let us know what you think.

Our UI allows you to quickly configure your encoding workflow. Ingest your files from any location and set your encoding parameters to your liking in just a few quick steps.

• Step 1: Select the source location for your files. We can ingest your files from an FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3, RackSpace Cloud Files, or Microsoft Azure storage locations

For more information on how to use this method for larger, bulk files or any other Encoding.com questions, we offer free consultation to better assist you. We also offer full support and assistance on all uploading options.
 

• Step 2: Select and launch your job parameters including file format, cloud service and region, processing speed and editing requirements. You can select as many output formats as you’d like for your video.

Once you select your parameters, we process your video and deliver to your specified FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3, RackSpace Cloud Files, or Microsoft Azure storage locations.

It’s that simple.

Encoding Queue

To keep an eye on the processing time of your encoding jobs, we have created an encoding queue to monitor progress.

No code required! Once you set up the watch folder, you and other team members can add your assets, and, on a regular interval (once every 5 seconds to once every 24 hours), we will check the watch folder and automatically start transcoding your assets.
