Targets

Name	Type	Description
uid	string	A UID (arbitrary string) to allow referencing this target. This UID may be used, for example, to specify a target for preview generation. User supplied, must be unique within an array of targets.
manifest_uids	array	An array of UIDs defining the manifests that this target belongs to. A target may belong to one or more manifests.
processing_group_ids	array	Allows target selection for subsequent tasks.
location	object	A location that overrides any location defined within the parents of this encode target.
file_pattern	string	This describes the target file name. Placeholders such as `{source_basename}` for source file name are supported. default: `{source_basename}`
trim	anyOf by_sec_in_out by_sec_in_dur by_timecode by_asset_timecode by_frame_nr by_section_nr by_media_track by_nothing	Object defining the type of trim operation to perform on an asset.
existing_files	enum `delete_and_replace` `replace` `replace_late` `rename_new` `rename_org` `fail`	The desired behavior when a target file already exists. "replace": will delete the original file and write the new one. "rename_new": gives the new file a different auto-generated name. "rename_org": renames the original file. Note that renaming the original file may not be possible depending on the target location. "delete_and_replace": attempts to immediately delete the original file. This will allow for fast failure in the case of inadequate permissions. "replace_late": does not attempt to delete the original -- simply executes a write. default: `fail`
parameter_compliance	enum `strict` `relaxed`	Conflicts between parameters (for example if both CBR and max_bitrate are specified) will generate an error if "Strict" is specified, otherwise Hybrik will execute the "intent" of the parameters.
force_local_target_file	boolean	This will enforce the creation of a local file and bypass in-stream processing. Only used in scenarios where in-stream processing is impossible due to format issues.
encryption_id	string	Encryption id, used for referencing encryptions
include_if_source_has	array	This array allows for conditionally outputting tracks based on whether or not a specific input track exists. The tracks in the source are referred to by number reference: audio[0] refers to the first audio track.
include_conditions	array	Specifies conditions under which this output will be created. Can use Javascript math.js nomenclature
size_estimate	number string	Setting a size_estimate can help in allocating the right amount of temporary local storage. Omit if this value if it cannot be guessed with a +/- 5% certainty.
ffmpeg_args	string	The FFmpeg command line to be used. Any properties defined in the target section of this JSON will override FFmpeg arguments defined here.
ffmpeg_args_compliance	enum `strict` `relaxed` `minimal` `late` `late_relaxed` `late_minimal`	Hybrik will interpret a ffmpeg command line. Relaxed will allow also unknown or conflicting ffmpeg options to pass. late_* will reolve this at render time and preserve the original ffmpeg_args in the JSON.
hybrik_encoder_args	string	The Hybrik encoder arguments line to be used. May overwrite default arguments.
nr_of_passes	integer string	This specifies how many passes the encode will use. minimum: `1` maximum: `10` default: `1`
slow_first_pass	boolean	h264/h265: enables a slow (more precise) first pass.
compliance	enum `xdcam_imx` `xdcam_hd` `xdcam_hd_422` `xdcam_proxy` `xdcam_dvcam25` `avcintra` `dvb` `atsc` `xavc` `hmmp` `senvu_2012`	This setting can be used to force output compliance to a particular standard, for example XDCAM-HD.
compliance_enforcement	enum `strict` `relaxed`	Defines whether the output compliance will be strict or relaxed. Relaxed settings allow parameters to be overridden in the JSON.
temp_location	object	Specify a location for temporary files (typically multi-pass).
temp_file_prefix	string	Specify a prefix for every temp file (for shared folder/location use across various targets and tasks).
container	object	The transcoding container parameters.
video	object	The video parameters for the target output.
audio	array	Array defining the audio tracks in the output. Each element of the array is an object defining the track parameters, including codec, number of channels, bitrate, etc.
timecode	array	An array defining the timecode tracks in this output.
metadata	array	Array defining the metadata tracks in the output.
subtitle	array	Array defining the subtitle tracks in the output.
