Question

How do you create a transcoding pipeline in AWS Elastic Transcoder?

Answer 1

To create a transcoding pipeline, you need to specify the input and output S3 buckets and IAM role that grants Elastic Transcoder the necessary permissions.

Example (Python code using Boto3):

import boto3

# Initialize the Elastic Transcoder client
transcoder = boto3.client('elastictranscoder', region_name='us-west-2')

# Create a new pipeline
response = transcoder.create_pipeline(
    Name='MyPipeline',
    InputBucket='my-input-bucket',
    OutputBucket='my-output-bucket',
    Role='arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Elastic_Transcoder_Default_Role'
)

print('Pipeline ID:', response['Pipeline']['Id'])
