Workflow Variables
We use the following variables for input to vantage by default when using the Spawn - Transcode Vantage process:
| Name | Description | Notes |
| DestinationPathFull | The path to the output file, not including the file name | This is automatically added by device director and is the contents of the output field |
| OutputFilename | The intended output file name | This should not include an extension. The vantage workflow should add an appropriate extension. |
| StartTimecode | The start timecode for a subclip | This is in 00:00:00:00@29.97 format. Both are calculated as if the first frame of the media is 00:00:00:00, and the end timecode is the first frame after the end of the subclip - this frame should not be included in the output. |
| EndTimecode | The end timecode for a subclip | These values are not sent if there is no subclip requested. |
Output
If the file path is configured with output labels, the following will be used:
| Name | Description | Notes |
| FilePath | The name of the file |
This should be a UNC path, such as that returned by the Identify action, including file name and extension If this is not present, the output will be assumed to be as requested in the input, with the file extension provided by the MediaStore. |
| FileSize | The size of the file |
These can be generated using a Populate action in the vantage workflow.
