Course-aware jobs
Metadata makes it easy to connect long-running jobs to courses, modules, lessons, instructors, or cohorts.
For course teams
Video encoding for LMS and course platforms
Encode lecture videos, course uploads, and lesson libraries into smaller files that stream reliably for students.
For LMS products, cohort platforms, and course businesses that host many uploaded lessons and replays.
Compress long lessons before storage and playback costs compound.
Normalize uploads into predictable MP4 outputs for course players.
Attach course, lesson, instructor, and cohort metadata to every job.
Use completed webhooks to publish lessons only after encoding succeeds.
Integration flow
A backend workflow your product can own
Convertrilo handles compression work while your app keeps the source records, destination storage, access model, and customer experience.
- Step 1
Upload the source lesson to your private storage.
- Step 2
Create an encode job with course and lesson metadata.
- Step 3
Wait for a signed completed webhook before marking the lesson ready.
- Step 4
Store the output URL on the lesson record and show a clear error to admins when a job fails.
Student-friendly files
Smaller files reduce buffering, bandwidth, and storage while keeping compatibility with standard HTML video players.
Publish gates
Webhook events let your LMS keep draft lessons hidden until output files are actually available.
Where this fits best
- Best fit: course libraries, cohort replays, webinar recordings, and instructor uploads.
- Recommended codecs: H.264 MP4 for broad student device compatibility.
- Common outputs: CDN URLs attached to lessons or S3 objects copied into your playback pipeline.
