Video transcoding

Billed based on the duration of the content you output

  • For H.264 standard transcoding, SD is used as the base unit. Durations for 4K, 2K, FHD, HD, and SD are converted at a ratio of 5.31:3.98:2.65:1.32:1. For example, 1 minute of FHD transcoding is equivalent to 2.65 minutes of SD transcoding.
  • For H.265 low-bitrate HD transcoding, SD is used as the base unit. Durations for 4K, 2K, FHD, HD, and SD are converted at a ratio of 5.33:3.99:2.66:1.33:1. For example, 1 minute of FHD transcoding is equivalent to 2.66 minutes of SD transcoding.
NOTE:

Animated GIFs, video metadata parsing, video snapshot capturing, and watermarking are value-added services and are free of charge.
