Once your upload is completed, our system will ingest your source file and trigger an encoding job. You can view your job status, encoded video, and playback url by BlendVision Console or API.

  • Encoding only

On BlendVision Console, you can view your job status in project’s "Encoding status" page and find your encoded video under your project’s Output destination in "Project settings" page.

  • Encoding + Streaming (CDN)
