The Transcoding page contains options for managing transcoding jobs, as well as clipping, SmartChapters, file copying and other post-processes.
Time Constraints
When time constraints are enabled, tasks that fall into the Processor Intensive category will only be dispatched between the specified hours. This category includes transcoding and commercial detection tasks.
Check the box to enable time constraints. Then use the drop-down boxes to specify the time constraints. Use the Universal Time Constraints option to set the same constraints for all days.
Note: Transcodes created by Workflows for clips less than fifteen minutes long are NOT restricted by Time Constraints and will always run immediately.

Maximum length of clips to transcode immediately, regardless of time constraints
Enables/ disables SnapStream cloud sharing. When this option is turned off, settings for sending clips as email attachments will be displayed.
Minimum number of days to keep record of shared clips
Sets the length of time for which entries will be retained on the Shared Clips page. Note: changing this setting will not cause shared clips to be available for playback for longer than 14 days. This setting only affects the length of time for which records of previously shared clips will be displayed.
Maximum allowed number of days to keep non-Workflow shared clips in the cloud
Sets the maximum length of time that can be selected for Share Duration when using the Share Clip option in the Library.
Number of days to keep shared clips in the cloud for Workflows
Sets the length of time for which clips shared automatically using the Workflows feature will be kept.
Automatically Convert H.264 TS Clips To .Mp4
When this option is enabled, SnapStream will change the file wrapper and extension of clips from H.264 transport stream recordings from .tp or .ts to .mp4, for compatibility with third-party tools.
Upload H.264 Clips To Social Media Directly
When this option is enabled, H.264 clips can be uploaded to social media without being transcoded first
