resolution

To better control resolution and aspect ratio of output videos, we recommend that you use the values MaxWidth, MaxHeight, SizingPolicy, PaddingPolicy, and DisplayAspectRatio instead of Resolution and AspectRatio. The two groups of settings are mutually exclusive. Do not use them together.

The width and height of the video in the output file, in pixels. Valid values are auto and width x height:

  • auto: Elastic Transcoder attempts to preserve the width and height of the input file, subject to the following rules.

  • <i>width</i> x <i>height</i> : The width and height of the output video in pixels.

Note the following about specifying the width and height:

  • The width must be an even integer between 128 and 4096, inclusive.

  • The height must be an even integer between 96 and 3072, inclusive.

  • If you specify a resolution that is less than the resolution of the input file, Elastic Transcoder rescales the output file to the lower resolution.

  • If you specify a resolution that is greater than the resolution of the input file, Elastic Transcoder rescales the output to the higher resolution.

  • We recommend that you specify a resolution for which the product of width and height is less than or equal to the applicable value in the following list (List - Max width x height value):

    • 1 - 25344

    • 1b - 25344
