Configuring the Zencoder content transformer

Brightcove Zencoder is supported for remote video transcoding with Amazon S3. If you are using this transformer, configure your connection using SkyVault-global.properties.
Ensure that you have installed the required external and internal software before configuring the transformer. See Prerequisites for using Media Management and Installing Media Management for more information. Make sure you have your Zencoder and S3 accounts set up.
  1. Stop the SkyVault server.
  2. Edit your SkyVault-global.properties file to specify your Zencoder API key, S3 keys and S3 bucket information; for example:

    content.transformer.Zencoder.apiKey=MY-ZENCODER-KEY
    content.transformer.Zencoder.s3.accessKey=MY-AWS-KEY
    content.transformer.Zencoder.s3.secretKey=MY-AWS-SECRET
    content.transformer.Zencoder.s3.bucketName=MY-BUCKET-NAME
    content.transformer.Zencoder.s3.bucketLocation=EU 
    

    A sample SkyVault-global.properties file is shipped in the root folder of the Media Management distribution zip, which defines custom properties. See Configuring Media Management for the full list.

    You can find your Zencoder API key at API and your S3 details in your AWS S3 settings.

    For more information on using Zencoder with S3, see Using Zencoder with S3.

  3. Start your SkyVault server to apply the changes.
