# Transcoder job

A Transcoder job in Google Cloud is a resource that processes media files by converting them from one format to another. It allows users to define input sources, output formats, and transcoding settings such as resolution, bitrate, and codec. The job runs within the Transcoder API, enabling automated video and audio transformations for streaming, archiving, or distribution.
