Creating MV-HEVC spatial video outputs with AWS Elemental MediaConvert

MV-HEVC (Multi-View HEVC) is an output codec format that encodes two video views—left eye and right eye—into a single bitstream, enabling spatial and 3D video playback.

To create an MV-HEVC output, you provide two input video files: one for the left eye (base layer) and one for the right eye (enhancement layer). MediaConvert encodes both views into a single MV-HEVC bitstream and packages the result in an MP4 or MOV container.

You configure MV-HEVC by adding multiViewSettings to your job inputs. The primary fileInput on each input serves as the left eye (base layer), and the file specified in multiViewSettings serves as the right eye (enhancement layer). MediaConvert then produces an H.265 output that contains both views.
