SnapStream Cloud supports direct capture from third-party encoders. For best results, the encoding profile should meet the following parameters:
| File container: | MPEG-2 Transport Stream or MPEG-4 |
| Video format: | H.264 |
| Audio format: | AAC *Low Complexity as High Efficiency has issues with social media. |
| AVC preset: | Main or Baseline. *Twitter has been known to have issues accepting 1920x1080 using Baseline. |
| AVC Codec Level | 5.1 *This is not always necessary, but can help if files are getting data, but cannot playback. |
| GOP size: | Between .3 and 1 seconds (Usually between 10 and 30 frames). |
| B-frames: | Disabled |
| Bitrate: | Between 2 and 5 Mbps recommended for most applications; up to 8Mbps for broadcast applications. Lower and higher bitrates are also supported. |
| Resolution: | Any |
| Framerate: | Any |
| Interlacing: | Disabled |
| IPTV transport: | RTMP Recommended. For a full list of supported transport options, see IPTV Formats for SnapStream Cloud. |
 | SnapStream Cloud allows for the creation of any number of RTMP endpoints, on the RTMP page of the UI. How different encoders best handle the endpoint addresses can vary; see RTMP Example Configurations for tips on entering the RTMP URL into your encoder settings. |
