In this section, we explain how you can upload and import video source files from the Microsoft Azure Storage service (http://www.windowsazure.com) into your encoding.com account.

Making preparations

To upload video files from your Azure account, you will need your Azure Shared Key and Account name. Follow these steps:

1. In the Azure Management Console, click the Storage item on the left-side menu.

2. At the very bottom of the page, click the Manage Keys button.

3. A pop-up window will appear that contains your Azure Storage Account Name, Primary Access Key, and Secondary Access Key. You will need to copy both the Storage Account Name and the Primary Access Key (Shared Key).

1. Check the Microsoft Azure box.

4. Notice that the path in the textbox now corresponds to the entries you made.
5. After carefully reviewing all of your entries, click the Start Encoding button in the upper right corner of the page.

7. If you receive error messages, then return to the Start a New Job page and ensure that you made all of your entries correctly.
