Video transcoding pipeline using AWS MediaConvert
Why Choose This Project?
With the surge of video streaming platforms, online courses, and multimedia content, video transcoding is essential to convert videos into multiple formats, resolutions, and bitrates for seamless playback across devices. Using AWS MediaConvert, students can build a serverless, scalable, and automated video transcoding pipeline.
This project is ideal for learning cloud media processing, serverless workflows, and scalable content delivery.

Working Flow
-
Video Upload
Users/admins upload raw videos to a designated S3 bucket. -
Trigger Transcoding Job
An S3 event triggers a Lambda function that initiates an AWS MediaConvert job. -
Transcoding Process
MediaConvert transcodes the video into multiple resolutions, bitrates, and formats (e.g., HLS, MP4). -
Store Output
Transcoded videos are saved in a separate S3 bucket for streaming or download. -
Metadata Logging
Lambda updates DynamoDB with metadata like video duration, format, resolution, and job status. -
Monitoring & Alerts
CloudWatch monitors job execution; SNS sends alerts for failed or delayed jobs. -
Optional Dashboard
Admins can view transcoding status, logs, and access transcoded video links from a web dashboard.
