Process

Process settings cover many of the key functions in your Filerobot account

Delivery URLs

Custom domain (CNAME)

Add one or multiple custom domains to deliver DAM assets over your subdomains, for example medias.acme.com. Once the custom domain added, you will need to create 2 DNS CNAME entries to validate the TLS certificate and point your subdomain to Filerobot.

Example:

• DNS1: _076f48ef8df3a3ca368b89c6f0bb0bcf.medias.acme.com. CNAME _29163927834ee4c4e03c365fd7282c74.nhqijqisfx.acm-validations.cdnprovider

• DNS2: medias.acme.com CNAME token.cdnprovider.com

Parameter	Description
Domain name	Domain name without https://

Security

External domain whitelisting

Allow Filerobot to deliver externally hosted assets

Response from Filerobot if domain is not whitelisted

Whitelisted domains

Target folder	Defines where compressed video will be stored: • Internal hidden folder • Same folder as original video

Conversion

This section governs the video conversion from one format to another.

Parameter	Description
Target format	Configures video conversion target: • WebM • MP4
Video resolution	In addition to convert the video file into WebM or MP4, the video API can also compress (see above) the video into a target resolution
Target folder	Where the converted video will be stored: • Internal hidden folder •Same folder as original video
