Syntax

transcodeVideo "sourceFile" "destinationFile" [-videoPayload string] [-quality integer] [-timecodeOverlay] [-timecodeOverlayPosition string] [-timecodeOverlaySize string] [-overrideSaturation float] [-overrideGammaCorrection float] [-correctForLensDistortion] [-backupOriginalFile] [-removeAudio]

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Comments
`sourceFile`	string	Yes	The full path and filename of the raw video file that is to be converted.
`destinationFile`	string	Yes	The full path and filename of the converted file.

Flags

Name	Flag args	Type	Excl	Comments
`videoPayload`	1	string	—	Video payload (ImageJPEG)
`quality`	1	integer	—	Specifies compression quality, from 1 to 100, with 100 being the highest quality.
`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

Return value

void

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
transcodeVideo "F:/Video/Take_001.vvid" "D:/Transcoded_Data/Take_001.mov" -videoPayload ImageJPEG -quality 90 -timecodeOverlay -timecodeOverlayPosition TopLeft -overrideSaturation 1.1 -overrideGammaCorrection 2.0;
