Overview


VIDIZMO, a top-tier enterprise video platform, offers a feature that enables users to upload media with personalized processing options. This means that you have the ability to set specific processing configurations for your media at the time of uploading, such as transcoding and generating AI Insights. Transcoding optimizes your media for various devices and platforms, making sure they are delivered in the highest quality and format, while generating AI insights from different forms of media is critical for automatically extracting valuable information and keeping up with today's fast-paced and data-driven environment. The option to choose the processing settings for each piece of media provides users with more control and flexibility over their media and can also help them save money and time.


VIDIZMO now gives you the power to select custom processing settings while uploading your media. You can choose whether to transcode your media or extract AI Insights. With this new feature, users can pick the option that best fits their needs for each individual piece of media, providing a more personalized and efficient experience.
