Optimize costs with tiered pricing in AWS Elemental MediaConvert
Media Blog
AWS Elemental MediaConvert introduces a new volume-based tiered pricing model that reduces transcoding costs as usage increases, using a concept called "normalized minutes" to calculate pricing across different video encoding scenarios.
- Pricing tiers automatically apply discounts based on monthly usage volume
- Normalized minutes account for variations in encoding complexity (resolution, codec, frame rate)
- Separate pricing tiers for Basic and Professional features
- No upfront commitments required to access discounts
- Potential cost savings of 18-19% compared to previous pricing model
The new pricing model enables organizations to optimize media processing workflows by strategically planning transcoding projects and leveraging volume-based discounts across different video formats and quality levels.
