<span style="font-size:14px;">The manual transcoding feature is specifically designed for**Single - session cumulativeLive streaming scenarios where the duration exceeds five hours.**For such scenarios, merchants can not only significantly improve the transcoding success rate and reduce transcoding time through manual transcoding but also more easily manage and edit long - term and multiple live replay videos.</span>

<span style="font-size:17px;">**II. Purpose of Use**</span>

<span style="font-size:14px;">Significantly improve the transcoding success rate and reduce the transcoding time, saving a great deal of time for merchants.</span>

<span style="font-size:17px;">**III. Usage Scenarios**</span>

<span style="font-size:14px;">After a user finishes a live stream that lasts more than five hours or the cumulative duration of a live stream exceeds five hours, they may encounter problems such as excessively long transcoding time and possible transcoding failures. After the live stream ends, users can enter the management console's replay management, select the replay file that needs to be transcoded, and perform manual transcoding. This can significantly improve the transcoding success rate and reduce the time consumed compared to automatic transcoding.</span>

<span style="font-size:17px;">**IV. Operation Path**</span>

<span style="font-size:14px;">Merchant side: Merchant background → Live streaming → Select the live - streaming room → Replay settings → Manual transcoding</span>
