    • Created a Lambda function to push video files from S3 to MediaConvert with a specific profile.

When the job is finished MediaConvert will notify the web app by triggering a webhook. Then the web app enables the user to play the processed video file and select a protocol (HLS, DASH), audio stream, or subtitle.
