Resource format

To create a Microsoft.Media/mediaServices/transforms/jobs resource, add the following Bicep to your template.

resource symbolicname 'Microsoft.Media/mediaServices/transforms/jobs@2021-11-01' = {
  name: 'string'
  parent: resourceSymbolicName
  properties: {
    correlationData: {}

PresetConfigurations

Name Description Value
complexity Allows you to configure the encoder settings to control the balance between speed and quality. Example: set Complexity as Speed for faster encoding but less compression efficiency. 'Balanced'
'Quality'
'Speed'
interleaveOutput Sets the interleave mode of the output to control how audio and video are stored in the container format. Example: set InterleavedOutput as NonInterleavedOutput to produce audio-only and video-only outputs in separate MP4 files. 'InterleavedOutput'
'NonInterleavedOutput'
keyFrameIntervalInSeconds The key frame interval in seconds. Example: set KeyFrameIntervalInSeconds as 2 to reduce the playback buffering for some players. int
maxBitrateBps The maximum bitrate in bits per second (threshold for the top video layer). Example: set MaxBitrateBps as 6000000 to avoid producing very high bitrate outputs for contents with high complexity. int
maxHeight The maximum height of output video layers. Example: set MaxHeight as 720 to produce output layers up to 720P even if the input is 4K. int
maxLayers The maximum number of output video layers. Example: set MaxLayers as 4 to make sure at most 4 output layers are produced to control the overall cost of the encoding job. int
minBitrateBps The minimum bitrate in bits per second (threshold for the bottom video layer). Example: set MinBitrateBps as 200000 to have a bottom layer that covers users with low network bandwidth. int
minHeight The minimum height of output video layers. Example: set MinHeight as 360 to avoid output layers of smaller resolutions like 180P. int

FaceDetectorPreset

Name Description Value
@odata.type The discriminator for derived types. '#Microsoft.Media.FaceDetectorPreset' (required)
blurType Blur type 'Black'
'Box'
'High'
'Low'
'Med'
experimentalOptions Dictionary containing key value pairs for parameters not exposed in the preset itself object
mode This mode provides the ability to choose between the following settings: 1) Analyze - For detection only.This mode generates a metadata JSON file marking appearances of faces throughout the video.Where possible, appearances of the same person are assigned the same ID. 2) Combined - Additionally redacts(blurs) detected faces. 3) Redact - This enables a 2-pass process, allowing for selective redaction of a subset of detected faces.It takes in the metadata file from a prior analyze pass, along with the source video, and a user-selected subset of IDs that require redaction. 'Analyze'
'Combined'
'Redact'
resolution Specifies the maximum resolution at which your video is analyzed. The default behavior is "SourceResolution," which will keep the input video at its original resolution when analyzed. Using "StandardDefinition" will resize input videos to standard definition while preserving the appropriate aspect ratio. It will only resize if the video is of higher resolution. For example, a 1920x1080 input would be scaled to 640x360 before processing. Switching to "StandardDefinition" will reduce the time it takes to process high resolution video. It may also reduce the cost of using this component (see https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/media-services/#analytics for details). However, faces that end up being too small in the resized video may not be detected. 'SourceResolution'
'StandardDefinition'

The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT5M30S to stop at 5 minutes and 30 seconds from start time), or a frame count (For example, 300 to stop at the 300th frame from the frame at start time. If this value is 1, it means only producing one thumbnail at start time), or a relative value to the stream duration (For example, 50% to stop at half of stream duration from start time). The default value is 100%, which means to stop at the end of the stream. string
spriteColumn Sets the number of columns used in thumbnail sprite image. The number of rows are automatically calculated and a VTT file is generated with the coordinate mappings for each thumbnail in the sprite. Note: this value should be a positive integer and a proper value is recommended so that the output image resolution will not go beyond JPEG maximum pixel resolution limit 65535x65535. int
start The position in the input video from where to start generating thumbnails. The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT05S to start at 5 seconds), or a frame count (For example, 10 to start at the 10th frame), or a relative value to stream duration (For example, 10% to start at 10% of stream duration). Also supports a macro {Best}, which tells the encoder to select the best thumbnail from the first few seconds of the video and will only produce one thumbnail, no matter what other settings are for Step and Range. The default value is macro {Best}. string (required)
step The intervals at which thumbnails are generated. The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT05S for one image every 5 seconds), or a frame count (For example, 30 for one image every 30 frames), or a relative value to stream duration (For example, 10% for one image every 10% of stream duration). Note: Step value will affect the first generated thumbnail, which may not be exactly the one specified at transform preset start time. This is due to the encoder, which tries to select the best thumbnail between start time and Step position from start time as the first output. As the default value is 10%, it means if stream has long duration, the first generated thumbnail might be far away from the one specified at start time. Try to select reasonable value for Step if the first thumbnail is expected close to start time, or set Range value at 1 if only one thumbnail is needed at start time. string

If the language isn't specified or set to null, automatic language detection will choose the first language detected and process with the selected language for the duration of the file. It does not currently support dynamically switching between languages after the first language is detected. The automatic detection works best with audio recordings with clearly discernable speech. If automatic detection fails to find the language, transcription would fallback to 'en-US'." The list of supported languages is available here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109463 string

mode This mode provides the ability to choose between the following settings: 1) Analyze - For detection only.This mode generates a metadata JSON file marking appearances of faces throughout the video.Where possible, appearances of the same person are assigned the same ID. 2) Combined - Additionally redacts(blurs) detected faces. 3) Redact - This enables a 2-pass process, allowing for selective redaction of a subset of detected faces.It takes in the metadata file from a prior analyze pass, along with the source video, and a user-selected subset of IDs that require redaction. 'Analyze'
'Combined'
'Redact'
resolution Specifies the maximum resolution at which your video is analyzed. The default behavior is "SourceResolution," which will keep the input video at its original resolution when analyzed. Using "StandardDefinition" will resize input videos to standard definition while preserving the appropriate aspect ratio. It will only resize if the video is of higher resolution. For example, a 1920x1080 input would be scaled to 640x360 before processing. Switching to "StandardDefinition" will reduce the time it takes to process high resolution video. It may also reduce the cost of using this component (see https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/media-services/#analytics for details). However, faces that end up being too small in the resized video may not be detected. 'SourceResolution'

height The height of the output video for this layer. The value can be absolute (in pixels) or relative (in percentage). For example 50% means the output video has half as many pixels in height as the input. string
label The alphanumeric label for this layer, which can be used in multiplexing different video and audio layers, or in naming the output file. string
level We currently support Level up to 6.2. The value can be Auto, or a number that matches the H.265 profile. If not specified, the default is Auto, which lets the encoder choose the Level that is appropriate for this layer. string
maxBitrate The maximum bitrate (in bits per second), at which the VBV buffer should be assumed to refill. If not specified, defaults to the same value as bitrate. int
profile We currently support Main. Default is Auto. 'Auto'
'Main'
'Main10'
referenceFrames The number of reference frames to be used when encoding this layer. If not specified, the encoder determines an appropriate number based on the encoder complexity setting. int
slices The number of slices to be used when encoding this layer. If not specified, default is zero, which means that encoder will use a single slice for each frame. int
width The width of the output video for this layer. The value can be absolute (in pixels) or relative (in percentage). For example 50% means the output video has half as many pixels in width as the input. string

JpgImage

Name Description Value
@odata.type The discriminator for derived types. '#Microsoft.Media.JpgImage' (required)
keyFrameInterval The distance between two key frames. The value should be non-zero in the range [0.5, 20] seconds, specified in ISO 8601 format. The default is 2 seconds(PT2S). Note that this setting is ignored if VideoSyncMode.Passthrough is set, where the KeyFrameInterval value will follow the input source setting. string
layers A collection of output JPEG image layers to be produced by the encoder. JpgLayer[]
range The position relative to transform preset start time in the input video at which to stop generating thumbnails. The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT5M30S to stop at 5 minutes and 30 seconds from start time), or a frame count (For example, 300 to stop at the 300th frame from the frame at start time. If this value is 1, it means only producing one thumbnail at start time), or a relative value to the stream duration (For example, 50% to stop at half of stream duration from start time). The default value is 100%, which means to stop at the end of the stream. string
spriteColumn Sets the number of columns used in thumbnail sprite image. The number of rows are automatically calculated and a VTT file is generated with the coordinate mappings for each thumbnail in the sprite. Note: this value should be a positive integer and a proper value is recommended so that the output image resolution will not go beyond JPEG maximum pixel resolution limit 65535x65535. int
start The position in the input video from where to start generating thumbnails. The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT05S to start at 5 seconds), or a frame count (For example, 10 to start at the 10th frame), or a relative value to stream duration (For example, 10% to start at 10% of stream duration). Also supports a macro {Best}, which tells the encoder to select the best thumbnail from the first few seconds of the video and will only produce one thumbnail, no matter what other settings are for Step and Range. The default value is macro {Best}. string (required)
step The intervals at which thumbnails are generated. The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT05S for one image every 5 seconds), or a frame count (For example, 30 for one image every 30 frames), or a relative value to stream duration (For example, 10% for one image every 10% of stream duration). Note: Step value will affect the first generated thumbnail, which may not be exactly the one specified at transform preset start time. This is due to the encoder, which tries to select the best thumbnail between start time and Step position from start time as the first output. As the default value is 10%, it means if stream has long duration, the first generated thumbnail might be far away from the one specified at start time. Try to select reasonable value for Step if the first thumbnail is expected close to start time, or set Range value at 1 if only one thumbnail is needed at start time. string
stretchMode The resizing mode - how the input video will be resized to fit the desired output resolution(s). Default is AutoSize 'AutoFit'
'AutoSize'
'None'
syncMode The Video Sync Mode 'Auto'
'Cfr'
'Passthrough'
'Vfr'

If you know the language of your content, it is recommended that you specify it. The language must be specified explicitly for AudioAnalysisMode::Basic, since automatic language detection is not included in basic mode. If the language isn't specified or set to null, automatic language detection will choose the first language detected and process with the selected language for the duration of the file. It does not currently support dynamically switching between languages after the first language is detected. The automatic detection works best with audio recordings with clearly discernable speech. If automatic detection fails to find the language, transcription would fallback to 'en-US'." The list of supported languages is available here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109463 string

resolution Specifies the maximum resolution at which your video is analyzed. The default behavior is "SourceResolution," which will keep the input video at its original resolution when analyzed. Using "StandardDefinition" will resize input videos to standard definition while preserving the appropriate aspect ratio. It will only resize if the video is of higher resolution. For example, a 1920x1080 input would be scaled to 640x360 before processing. Switching to "StandardDefinition" will reduce the time it takes to process high resolution video. It may also reduce the cost of using this component (see https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/media-services/#analytics for details).

The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT5M30S to stop at 5 minutes and 30 seconds from start time), or a frame count (For example, 300 to stop at the 300th frame from the frame at start time. If this value is 1, it means only producing one thumbnail at start time), or a relative value to the stream duration (For example, 50% to stop at half of stream duration from start time). The default value is 100%, which means to stop at the end of the stream. string
spriteColumn Sets the number of columns used in thumbnail sprite image. The number of rows are automatically calculated and a VTT file is generated with the coordinate mappings for each thumbnail in the sprite. Note: this value should be a positive integer and a proper value is recommended so that the output image resolution will not go beyond JPEG maximum pixel resolution limit 65535x65535. int
start The position in the input video from where to start generating thumbnails. The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT05S to start at 5 seconds), or a frame count (For example, 10 to start at the 10th frame), or a relative value to stream duration (For example, 10% to start at 10% of stream duration). Also supports a macro {Best}, which tells the encoder to select the best thumbnail from the first few seconds of the video and will only produce one thumbnail, no matter what other settings are for Step and Range. The default value is macro {Best}. string (required)
step The intervals at which thumbnails are generated. The value can be in ISO 8601 format (For example, PT05S for one image every 5 seconds), or a frame count (For example, 30 for one image every 30 frames), or a relative value to stream duration (For example, 10% for one image every 10% of stream duration). Note: Step value will affect the first generated thumbnail, which may not be exactly the one specified at transform preset start time. This is due to the encoder, which tries to select the best thumbnail between start time and Step position from start time as the first output. As the default value is 10%, it means if stream has long duration, the first generated thumbnail might be far away from the one specified at start time. Try to select reasonable value for Step if the first thumbnail is expected close to start time, or set Range value at 1 if only one thumbnail is needed at start time. string

This is due to the encoder, which tries to select the best thumbnail between start time and Step position from start time as the first output. As the default value is 10%, it means if stream has long duration, the first generated thumbnail might be far away from the one specified at start time. Try to select reasonable value for Step if the first thumbnail is expected close to start time, or set Range value at 1 if only one thumbnail is needed at start time. string
stretchMode The resizing mode - how the input video will be resized to fit the desired output resolution(s). Default is AutoSize "AutoFit"
"AutoSize"

Format

Name Description Value
filenamePattern The pattern of the file names for the generated output files. The following macros are supported in the file name: {Basename} - An expansion macro that will use the name of the input video file. If the base name(the file suffix is not included) of the input video file is less than 32 characters long, the base name of input video files will be used. If the length of base name of the input video file exceeds 32 characters, the base name is truncated to the first 32 characters in total length. {Extension} - The appropriate extension for this format. {Label} - The label assigned to the codec/layer. {Index} - A unique index for thumbnails.

VideoAnalyzerPreset

Name Description Value
@odata.type The discriminator for derived types. "#Microsoft.Media.VideoAnalyzerPreset" (required)
audioLanguage The language for the audio payload in the input using the BCP-47 format of 'language tag-region' (e.g: 'en-US'). If you know the language of your content, it is recommended that you specify it. The language must be specified explicitly for AudioAnalysisMode::Basic, since automatic language detection is not included in basic mode. If the language isn't specified or set to null, automatic language detection will choose the first language detected and process with the selected language for the duration of the file. It does not currently support dynamically switching between languages after the first language is detected. The automatic detection works best with audio recordings with clearly discernable speech. If automatic detection fails to find the language, transcription would fallback to 'en-US'." The list of supported languages is available here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109463 string
experimentalOptions Dictionary containing key value pairs for parameters not exposed in the preset itself object
insightsToExtract Defines the type of insights that you want the service to generate. The allowed values are 'AudioInsightsOnly', 'VideoInsightsOnly', and 'AllInsights'. The default is AllInsights. If you set this to AllInsights and the input is audio only, then only audio insights are generated. Similarly if the input is video only, then only video insights are generated. It is recommended that you not use AudioInsightsOnly if you expect some of your inputs to be video only; or use VideoInsightsOnly if you expect some of your inputs to be audio only. Your Jobs in such conditions would error out. "AllInsights"
"AudioInsightsOnly"
"VideoInsightsOnly"
