You can transcode all your assets to be imported into one single video profile for future purposes. As Metus MAM has a powerful transcoding engine in itself, the process will be done seamlessly while archiving. You can set transcode profiles for Image, Sequence, Video and Audio files.
You have the option to change the source file or create a new asset, or create a new asset and delete the source file.
If you need your assets to be transcoded to more than one video profile, you can use Batch Transcode feature. Please see Batch Transcode - 3.7.1.0 for more detail.
