8. Understanding the Processing Status

When you upload your video, it will go through several stages before it is finalized and ready for use. Let's explain each one:

• Initial Preparation
  At this stage, the system is organizing the video for the encoding process. It carries out initial checks to ensure that the file is compatible and that there are no errors.
• Video Encoding
  Encoding is the process in which the video is transformed into a format that can be played efficiently on different devices and platforms. This ensures that your video can be watched in high quality and without compatibility problems.
• CDN distribution
  After encoding, the video is distributed over the content delivery network (CDN). This means that the video will be stored on servers located in various regions, ensuring faster, uninterrupted loading for viewers, regardless of their location.
• Finalization
  Finally, when the video has passed all the previous stages and is fully prepared, it is ready to be used. The status will be updated to “Finished”, and you can insert and display the video on your website or platform.
