In Azure media service, can I delete the original uploaded video once I have my processed videos?


Anyone has idea about this? In Azure media service: I first upload a video (asset A). Then I create jobs to process it and get encoded video (asset B). Since asset A normally is much larger than asset B, can I delete asset A to save some space? (of course I have local copy of the original video, so if needed, I can upload again)

The reason I am asking is that I heard Azure treat these assets with parent-child relationships. So I don't want to mess up something there ....

Thanks!


Solution

  • Yes, if the video processing is done, you can safely delete the original video.
