Media Submission Flow

Image Submissions

When submitting an image, the following steps occur:

• User image is uploaded via flow.js to the webserver
  
  
• Image is uploaded to private S3 bucket, and upon successful upload, it is resized to 480p with a Lambda function, and this 480p preview is displayed to the user
  
  
• If the artwork is submitted, 4k, 1080p and 240p versions are created

Video Submissions

When submitting a video, the following steps occur:

• User video is uploaded via flow.js to the webserver
  
  
• Video is uploaded to private S3 bucket, and upon successful upload, a JPG thumbnail is generated of the video to show the user the upload was successful
  
  
• If the artwork is submitted, a MediaConvert transcoding job is started to resize the video into 1080p and 480p variants
  
  
• When the MediaConvert job finishes, a Lambda function updates the database with the new URLs, and the artwork becomes visible in the user's gallery
