Template Mapping

The Transcoding Mapping (short: mapping), connects various transcoding templates. This mapping is configured in the library settings and is available for use in both the ingest view and the gallery view (edit mode → re-render).

Consider the template mappings as "ingest styles," which are various methods for handling incoming source files. Since source files can come in numerous types and formats, different approaches are needed to manage and process these files effectively.

Create as many template mappings as necessary to handle different ingest scenarios, such as managing colorspace conversion.

Transcoding Templates

The transcoding template are used to process certain files like the main file or the different proxy formats.

Transcoding Tasks

These are the tasks executed when the transcoding template is triggered. You can choose from predefined tasks or create a custom command to run any specific command line.

Custom Command

The Custom Command feature enables you to execute any custom command line task and utilize your existing scripts and tools. Use the Path Values and predefined element attributes to pass information to the command line.

exec:
python

params:
render_thumbnail_script.py <source.path> <path_thumbnail>

NoOp

The no-operation is a handy feature to save file paths to the database but not perform any operation or transcoding.

Example only re-render thumbnail

Set everything in the transcoding mapping to noop transcoding task except the thumbnail. This will ignore everything and only re-render the thumbnail transcoding template.
