The transcode node allows you to change the create a new transcoded file with options for video codec (ProRes, DNX, H.264) resolution (1920x1080, 3840x2160) and wrapper (mov, mxf) of your source file along with the resolutionability to add a visual burn in to the transcoded file.

Use target directory to specify the directory where you want your transcoded file written and in the name pattern field you can specify the new name for your transcoded file. By default the new name is set to [filename] which refers to the name of your source file. If you are not changing the wrapper, for example transcoding a DNX36 MOV to a ProRes MOV keep in mind that if you don’t make any changes to the name pattern and place the new file in the same directory as the source file, it will overwrite your source filefilename has _transcoded at the end but that can be removed if you’d like. For the name pattern you can either replace the file name entirely or if you want to append it you can simply add text after [filename]. So if your source file is named “Weekend_Performance” and you use the name pattern [filename]_transcoded2024, your transcoded file will be named Weekend_Performance_transcoded2024.

Choose your codec and quality setting but note that the scale transcode node does not do frame rate conversions. This means that if your source file is 1080i59.94, only codecs that support that resolution/frame rate will work properly. For frame rate conversions use Loki.
