   Parameter	Description
   Transcoding template group	Select a preset template group or customize a template group by referring to Transcoding Settings.
   Workflow	Select an existing workflow or create one by referring to Workflow Settings.

7. Click Upload.

   Note:

   • The upload duration depends on the file size and network conditions. During the upload, do not refresh the page, clear the browser cache, or close the browser.
   • If there is no activity for an extended period during the upload, you may be logged out and the upload will fail.

8. View media file information on the Audio and Video Management page.

   After a video file is uploaded, the first frame at the first second is used as the thumbnail by default. If a transcoding template group or workflow was configured during media file upload, the configured parameters will automatically apply to the media file processing.
