Intelligent Media Management:Video-to-animated-image conversion

Step 1: Upload a video to OSS

Upload your source video file to an OSS bucket in the same region as your IMM project. Use the OSS console or any OSS SDK.

Step 2: Create an animated image conversion task

Call the CreateMediaConvertTask API. Define the source video URI, output format, frame rate, resolution, and output path in the request parameters.

Try the API directly in OpenAPI Explorer with pre-filled parameters and SDK sample code.

For more information about media processing, see Media transcoding.

Convert an entire video

This example converts the full video to a WebP animated image at 15 fps, scaled to half the source resolution.
