Using accelerated transcoding with
hopped jobs
To reduce the transcoding time for certain jobs, use accelerated transcoding. In most
cases, you submit accelerated jobs to on-demand queues, because reserved queues
cannot run accelerated jobs. However, you can submit a job with
Accelerated transcoding set Preferred
to a reserved queue. When you do, if the job hops to an on-demand queue, it will run
with acceleration enabled. For more information about accelerated transcoding, see
Accelerated transcoding in the
MediaConvert User Guide.
