Setting up event clipping
You can set up event clipping in a new MediaLive channel that you are creating. Or you can update an existing channel to include event clipping . You can set up event clipping and other Elemental Inference features at the same time, in either a new channel or an existing channel.
This section describes how to set up event clipping using the MediaLive console. For information about setting up using an AWS API, see Elemental Inference features using AWS CLI.
Note
The information in this section assumes that you are familiar with the general steps for creating a channel, as described in Creating a channel from scratch.
To use event clipping, the Elemental Inference feed associated with your channel must have a clipping output configured. You manage feed outputs in the Elemental Inference console.
-
In the Elemental Inference console, create or update your feed to include a clipping output. (Optional) Configure callback metadata on the output. For more information, see Creating an Elemental Inference workflow in the AWS Elemental Inference user guide.
-
On the MediaLive Create channel or Edit channel page, navigate to the Elemental Inference settings section.
-
For Elemental Inference feed, select the feed that contains the clipping output. If you created or updated the feed, choose Refresh to see it in the list.
-
Under Event clipping, verify that the clipping output from the feed is detected. The section displays a status indicator when the feed includes a clipping output.
-
Save the channel. When the channel is running, MediaLive delivers the source stream to Elemental Inference and retrieves metadata from Elemental Inference. You can then use Elemental Inference APIs or EventBridge rules to trigger event clips.
