Encoding videos in various formats and resolutions for different devices and platforms can be a resource-intensive task, and setting up and maintaining on-premises encoding infrastructure can be expensive.
Today, we’re excited to announce an expanded partnership with Qencode, a media services platform that enables users to build powerful video solutions, including solutions to the challenges of transcoding, live streaming, and media storage. The expanded partnership embeds the Backblaze Partner API within the Qencode platform, making it frictionless for users to add cloud storage to their media production workflows.
