Please forgive me in advance if some of these questions seem naive.
What so:
1) I have a large video library (Historical/Propaganda/Educational films) Currently 3.5 TBS of video .mp4 and about 3200 videos. Library is still growing.
2) We want to Monetize the collection.
3) We are not yet sure how much income we can generate from this collection. (Bandwidth unknown yet.)
4) Other OVP are heavily overpriced for storage and Bandwidth.
5) Love the idea of using Amazon S3 and S3Bubble to launch us so we pay for only what we use.
6) Owners of the company, me, very smart technaically but not smart enought to solve it all myself.
Question:
1) Regarding: Paywall, AES encodes and 30 second preview movies (or movies to be shared on social media)
Q1a) Do I need to encode a seperate unecrypted 30 second HLS steam?
Q2a) If not, how does an encoded HLS stream playback on a non secure site – unless of course they don’t?
2) Can S3Bubble be set up to batch encode lots of files and how so?
2a) Can S3Bubble be set up to batch encode lots of files, but with diffrent settings – like make an AES encrypted HLS strema of the full video and an additional 30 second unecrypted preview (starting 20 seconds into the video). I can’t see how to setup custom pipelines in S3 Bubble and I was lost trying to set-new pipelines in S3 isself.
3) Any way to download S3Bubble datavbase information into a CSV file?
3a) Any way to upload a CSV file to S3 Bubble (Like all the meta data – Name, description, even the name of the thumbnail for artwork) Just saves a lot of cutting and pasting.
I am willing to hire you as a consultant and pay by the hour, just for a little hand holding, training, and experimentation if you guys are open to that. I can’t imagine it will be more than 4 hours total.
Thanks
