Transcoding video files

Video transcoding converts video files between different formats. The Video Clip Importer can transcode video files that you import into Unity. This is useful when your video files use a codec that the Editor platform supports, but isn’t compatible with your target platforms. To transcode your video clips, refer to the Video Clip Importer.

You can transcode video files into one of the following video codecs:

Transcoded video files use the appropriate audio codec automatically:

  • AAC for videos encoded with H.264 or H.265
  • Vorbis for videos encoded with VP8

Note: The Video Clip Importer provides only basic transcoding options. Depending on the encoding of your source files, you might get optimal performance with an external transcoding program.
