Setting up

AWS Elemental MediaConvert transcodes your input files from Amazon S3, HTTP, or HTTPS locations to generate output files on Amazon S3. To use MediaConvert, you need an Amazon Web Services account, at least one input file, an Amazon S3 bucket for your output files, and an IAM role with the correct permissions.

For information on how to upload files to Amazon S3, see Uploading objects in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

For information about creating an Amazon S3 bucket for your output destination, see Creating a bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
