4. Example

Example1 Setting a transcoding rule

This example shows you how to set a transcoding rule named "trans-100020-100030-100040" to process the content in the TopRankVideo-125xxx88 bucket according to the transcoding templates 100020, 100030, and 100040.

Input Example

https://mps.tencentcloudapi.com/?Action=CreateWorkflow
&WorkflowName=trans-100020-100030-100040
&Trigger.Type=CosFileUpload
&Trigger.CosFileUploadTrigger.Bucket=TopRankVideo-125xxx88
&Trigger.CosFileUploadTrigger.Region=ap-chongqing
&Trigger.CosFileUploadTrigger.Dir=/movie/201907/
&MediaProcessTask.TranscodeTaskSet.0.Definition=100020
&MediaProcessTask.TranscodeTaskSet.1.Definition=100030
&MediaProcessTask.TranscodeTaskSet.2.Definition=100040
&<Common request parameters>

Output Example

{
    "Response": {
        "RequestId": "6ca31e3a-6b8e-4b4e-9256-fdc700064ef3",
        "WorkflowId": 157482
    }
}

Example2 Setting a sampled screenshot rule

This example shows you how to set a screenshot rule named "snapshot" to process the content in the TopRankVideo-125xxx88 bucket according to the screenshot template 100010.
