# AWS Elemental MediaConvert Preset

AWS Elemental MediaConvert Preset defines a reusable set of video and audio encoding settings for MediaConvert jobs. It allows you to standardize output formats, codecs, bitrates, resolutions, and other parameters across multiple transcoding tasks. Using presets simplifies job creation and ensures consistent media quality and delivery specifications.
