# AWS Elemental MediaConvert Job Template

An AWS Elemental MediaConvert Job Template defines preset settings for video transcoding jobs. It lets you preconfigure inputs, outputs, codecs, bitrates, and packaging options so you can run consistent, repeatable media processing workflows without redefining settings each time. This simplifies largeâscale video preparation for streaming, broadcasting, and archiving.
