Body Params

The VP8 Codec Configuration to be created

string
required

Name of the resource. Can be freely chosen by the user.

string

Description of the resource. Can be freely chosen by the user.

string

User-specific meta data. This can hold anything.

integer

Width of the encoded video in pixels

integer

Height of the encoded video in pixels

int64

Target bitrate for the encoded video in bps. Either bitrate or crf is required.

double

Target frame rate of the encoded video. Must be set for live encodings

string
enum
Defaults to YUV420P

The pixel format to be set

colorConfig
object
integer

The numerator of the sample aspect ratio (also known as pixel aspect ratio). Must be set if sampleAspectRatioDenominator is set. If set then displayAspectRatio is not allowed.

integer

The denominator of the sample aspect ratio (also known as pixel aspect ratio). Must be set if sampleAspectRatioNumerator is set. If set then displayAspectRatio is not allowed.

displayAspectRatio
object

Specifies a display aspect ratio (DAR) to be enforced. The sample aspect ratio (SAR) will be adjusted accordingly. If set then sampleAspectRatioNumerator and sampleAspectRatioDenominator are not allowed.

string
enum
Defaults to STANDARD

The mode of the encoding. When this is set, encodingMode (liveEncodingMode) must not be set in the (live) encoding start request.

Allowed:
integer
0 to 63

Constant rate factor for quality-based variable bitrate. Either bitrate or crf is required.

integer
0 to 25

Number of frames to look ahead for alternate reference frame selection.

int64

Maximum I-frame bitrate (percentage) 0=unlimited

integer
0 to 63
Defaults to 0

Minimum quantization factor.

integer
0 to 63
Defaults to 63

Maximum quantization factor.

integer
0 to 100
Defaults to 25

Datarate undershoot (min) target (percentage).

integer
0 to 100
Defaults to 25

Datarate overshoot (max) target (percentage).

string
enum
Defaults to OFF

Noise sensitivity (frames to blur).

Allowed:
integer
0 to 7
Defaults to 0

Loop filter sharpness.

integer

Minimum GOP length, the minimum distance between I-frames.

integer

Maximum GOP length, the maximum distance between I-frames

double

Minimum interval in seconds between key frames

double

Maximum interval in seconds between key frames

string
enum
Defaults to GOOD

Determines quality for the price of speed.

Allowed:
integer
≥ 0

A change threshold on blocks below which they will be skipped by the encoder.

integer
0 to 15
Defaults to 0

altref noise reduction max frame count.

integer
0 to 6
Defaults to 3

altref noise reduction filter strength.

string
enum
Defaults to CENTERED

altref noise reduction filter type

Allowed:
