AWS Elemental MediaConvert CreateJob Example Using the Amazon CLI
A job does the work of transcoding a media file. When you create a job using the Amazon CLI, you specify the job settings that AWS Elemental MediaConvert requires to perform the transcoding.
To create a transcoding job using the Amazon CLI:
-
Specify your job settings with
--cli-input-json
:aws mediaconvert create-job \ --region
region-name-1
\ --cli-input-jsonfile://job.json
In the preceding example,
job.json
specifies your job settings. You can use the MediaConvert console to generate the JSON job specification. For more information and sample job specifications, see Creating Your Job Specification.For more information about how to create a job using the Amazon CLI, see the Amazon CLI command reference
