What does Audio Encoding mean | Audio Encoding

What is audio encoding?

Audio encoding processes your uploaded audio file for publication. It produces the file formats for the web player and podcast apps.

A completed upload alone does not mean that processing is complete or that the episode is published. Examine the processing status and the selected publication date.

Audio settings

The available audio settings are different for different accounts. Examine the selected options before processing. A change to the audio settings can require processing again.

Audio limits and repeated processing

Use your active plan and the limits shown in your account. The current plans distinguish unlimited audio in the listed paid plans from limited audio in Launch. Older plans can have different rules.

Podcast imports do not use your encoding allowance. For plans with an encoding allowance, the first audio encoding counts toward that allowance. Re-encoding can count again once the episode’s audio production is seven days old. This period does not restart after each encoding. Plans with unlimited encoding minutes do not deduct minutes. Later manual processing of an imported episode follows the normal encoding rules. Video limits are separate.

See Uploading, encoding, and replacing audio files for the steps.

Podigee selects the processing service automatically from the audio settings. You do not need to select a separate processing service for these steps.
