Video Encoding
Activating Imgix Video
Set fm to a video output format — mp4, hls, or dash — for Imgix Video parameters to take effect.
Customize how your Imgix Video is encoded by adjusting the codec and bitrate. These settings impact quality, compatibility, and file size, enabling optimized delivery for specific use cases like social media, mobile playback, or archival.
To serve the most efficient codec each viewer’s browser supports from a single source file, see the Creating a User-Friendly Video Player tutorial.
Use case
Let Imgix automatically select the best quality settings for your content type
The default mode — no parameters required. Imgix analyzes the source codec, resolution, and content complexity to select optimal compression settings. Near-static content (interviews, screen recordings) gets smaller files; high-motion content (sports) preserves full quality.
