GCP.Transcoder reference

CreateJob

Source: src/GCP/Transcoder/CreateJob.ts

Runtime binding for Transcoder jobs.create.

Starts a transcoding job in the template’s location. When body.config is omitted, templateId is filled from the bound JobTemplate. Provide CreateJobHttp.

Grants roles/transcoder.editor on the project because Transcoder has no resource-level IAM and no narrower predefined role carries transcoder.jobs.create (roles/transcoder.viewer is read-only).

CreateJob: Creating a Job

const createJob = yield* GCP.Transcoder.CreateJob(template);
const job = yield* createJob({
  body: {
    inputUri: "gs://bucket/inputs/file.mp4",
    outputUri: "gs://bucket/outputs/",
  },
});

CreateJobHttp

Source: src/GCP/Transcoder/CreateJobHttp.ts Kind: Layer · Provides: GCP.Transcoder.CreateJob

HTTP implementation of CreateJob.

JobTemplate

Source: src/GCP/Transcoder/JobTemplate.ts

A Transcoder API job template. Templates capture a reusable JobConfig so jobs can be created with templateId instead of repeating elementary/mux stream settings.

The API exposes create, get, list, and delete only — there is no patch. Changing jobTemplateId, location, config, or labels replaces the template. Ownership is stamped with Alchemy labels so list / nuke can find it.

Generated id

const template = yield* GCP.Transcoder.JobTemplate("WebHd", {
  config: {
    elementaryStreams: [
      {
        key: "video-stream0",
        videoStream: {
          h264: {
            heightPixels: 360,
            widthPixels: 640,
            bitrateBps: 550000,
            frameRate: 30,
          },
        },
      },
      {
        key: "audio-stream0",
        audioStream: { codec: "aac", bitrateBps: 64000 },
      },
    ],
    muxStreams: [
      {
        key: "sd",
        container: "mp4",
        elementaryStreams: ["video-stream0", "audio-stream0"],
      },
    ],
  },
});

Explicit id and labels

const template = yield* GCP.Transcoder.JobTemplate("WebHd", {
  jobTemplateId: "web-sd",
  location: "us-central1",
  labels: { env: "prod" },
  config: {
    elementaryStreams: [
      {
        key: "video-stream0",
        videoStream: {
          h264: { bitrateBps: 550000, frameRate: 30 },
        },
      },
    ],
    muxStreams: [
      {
        key: "sd",
        container: "mp4",
        elementaryStreams: ["video-stream0"],
      },
    ],
  },
});

JobTemplate: Creating a Job from a Template

    outputUri: "gs://bucket/outputs/",
