Unprocessable videos

The Unprocessable Videos report on the Image and Video Manager dashboard lists all of the pristine videos that could not be processed in the past 24 hours, along with the reason processing failed. The possible messages are listed below along with the actions you can take to make sure that all videos are processed correctly.

Video processing fails for one of four reasons:

Video processing took too longThe video could not be processed because processing took too long.Make sure your policy doesn't contain an overly complex sequence of artistic transformations that are causing the process to time out—for example, both enlarging and shrinking the video in the intermediary steps.

Pristine video is corrupt

If you see this message, it means that the pristine video at your origin is corrupt in some way.

It could be that the file itself is corrupt due to an error that occurred when the file was created, or the video may have been corrupted during your publishing process.

To identify the issue with the video, download and open the video using a tool that identifies its format and characteristics. The tool you choose should allow you to print out or view any errors encountered while processing the video.
