Create transport segment files from media file uploaded to S3

Question

I have successfully created Transport Segment files by adding an archive output to a Media Live Channel and converted the segmented files back to original mp4 file using Media Convert.

My question is how to segment media files uploaded to S3 by a user.

Example if someone uploaded Big Buck Bunny mp4 to S3,  I would like to create TS files similar to streaming the video to MediaLive with an archive output.

Answer

Maybe you can automate the process using **AWS Lambda**, **Amazon S3**, and **AWS Elemental MediaConvert**. The approach involves setting up an *S3 trigger* to invoke a *Lambda function* when a new MP4 file is uploaded. This Lambda function will then create a job in **MediaConvert** to segment the uploaded file into the desired format.
