`timecodeOverlay`	0	—	—	Specifies that timecode overlay occurs during transcoding
`timecodeOverlayPosition`	1	string	—	Specifies the location for timecode overlay. Options match those in the Batching panel.
`timecodeOverlaySize`	1	string	—	Specifies the text size for the timecode overlay. Options are x-small, small, medium, large and x-large.
`overrideSaturation`	1	float	—	Specifies an alternative value for the color saturation to be applied during conversion. If this option is omitted, the value set at capture time is used.
`overrideGammaCorrection`	1	float	—	Specifies an alternative value for the gamma correction to be applied during conversion. If this option is omitted, the value set at capture time is used.
`correctForLensDistortion`	0	—	—	If the source file contains a camera lens calibration, use this to distort the output video to correct for lens distortion.
`backupOriginalFile`
`removeAudio`				Removes the audio

Examples

// The following command converts a raw video file called
// Take_001.vvid, and saves the output .mov to a location
// different from that of the original file
