Prepare for HTTP Live Streaming
The Prepare for HTTP Live Streaming job action processes the transcoded files using the
instructions you provide via the properties below and then uploads the processed files
to the server you specify. To learn more about HTTP Live Streaming, see the HTTP Live
Streaming Overview and other related documents, available in the Mac Developer Library.
• Destination for Live Stream assets: Click the Choose button to assign a save location for
the live streaming assets.
• Output type: This pop-up menu sets the format output for this job action. There are
two options:
• MPEG-2 TS: Sets the output format to MPEG-2 transport stream.
• Fragmented MP4: Sets the output format to fragmented MP4 (fMP4). This option is
only available if you are running macOS 10.14 or later.
• Segment duration: Enter a minimum number of seconds per segment for the
segment duration.
Because the segment’s length determines when the web server can switch between
the various video formats while streaming to a device with varying network connection
speeds, a shorter segment duration allows the server to respond more quickly to
changing connection speeds. In most situations, it’s recommended that you leave the
segment duration at 10 seconds.
• Create Read Me file with sample HTML: Select this checkbox to create a sample HTML
file for hosting the HTTP live-streaming content.
Run Automator Workflow
The Automator Workflow job action applies an Automator workflow to an output file
after transcoding.
• Workflow: Click the Choose button to set the Automator workflow that the job
action triggers.
Send Email
The Send Email job action sends an email with an attachment of the transcoded file from
the macOS Mail app.
• To: Enter recipient’s email addresses in this field.
• Subject and Message: Enter relevant text in these fields.
For information about adding or modifying a job action in a job, see View and modify job
properties in Compressor. For information about choosing a job action that’s part of a
destination, see View destination properties in Compressor.
