Zoom is able to store, metadata tag, version control, manage any type of asset, or camera card file. However, there are a sub-set of asset-types that previews can be generated directly by the Zoom Transcoder or Preview Server. The following lists all of the asset types that the Zoom Preview Server can generate high-resolution previews of assets. Below is a list of popular formats supported out of the box. If there is an asset-type that is not listed below, please contact Evolphin Support as we constantly update the supported file formats for preview and thumbnails. To view the current list of file types for which we generate thumbnails, please download this property file.

Audio & Video Codecs
Zoom uses variety of media transcoders for creating previews of audio or video files. Note the ability to create previews is independent of Zoom’s capabilities to store, manage, tag, make content available for editing. A few of the popular transcoders and their formats is listed below:
Transcoder | Supported Codecs/Camera Cards |
---|---|
FFmpeg | Please visit this link for official list |
Telestream Vantage | Encode Format supported Decode Format supported Camera card stitching support: see this and this |
RED R3D SDK | R3D Formats |
Using the extensible Zoom Converter Admin UI, media managers can add additional 3rd party transcoders beyond what’s listed above.
