Was dieses Modul leistet

File manager is the handoff point between upload, recording, conversion, storage and browser playback. Treat visibility and destination as deliberate publishing choices.

Vor dem Start

  • A media file supported by the intended downstream player or transcoding profile.

  • Enough instance disk for the upload and any temporary conversion.

  • A tested external storage when the asset must leave local disk.
