Q: Compressor Amazon Video Direct .MP4 Settings

Has anyone else tried submitting a compressor encoded mp4 file to Amazon Video Direct yet? If so, any settings help would be great.

 

I had no idea Amazon Video Direct was so particular about the formats that can be uploaded. The only .mov format the accept is Prores HQ and that would be much to large for my 1 hour video and terrible upload internet upload speed... it would take days. So they have an .mp4 format spec, but I having trouble creating a compressor preset that matches it.

 

I can't figure out how to get a .mp4 container with custom key frame interval of 60 (2 seconds) and matching AAC or AC-3 audio. I've tried modifying a few of the built in presets, but I don't know how to set one up from scratch.

 

Here are the requirements:

    Start with the HD 1080p inside of Sharing Services, duplicate it.  Set the modifications you need.  I'd just upload a ProRes for best quality.  But with the HD 1080p you can set yourself up for what Amazon is looking for.  When done change the .mov to .mp4 and upload.  You should be fine.  Again, I'd just use a ProRes file to upload.
