Copy an S3 object or folder prefix to another S3 location.

S3 StorageNewActionReturns JSON

Signature

Inlay_S3_CLONE ( SrcConfigKey ; SrcPath ; DstConfigKey ; DstPath { ; Mode { ; Conflict } } )

Parameters

  • SrcConfigKeyRequired

    Saved source S3 profile key created with Inlay_S3_SET_CONFIG.

  • SrcPathRequired

    Source object key or folder prefix. End the path with "/" to copy everything under that prefix.

  • ModeOptional

    Cross-region transfer mode: use stream for the default in-memory path or cache to stage larger copies through a temp file.

  • ConflictOptional

    Conflict strategy when the destination already exists: overwrite, ignore, etag, size, md5, or sha256.

Returns

JSON string

Returns JSON describing copy method, copied/skipped counts, and transferred bytes.

Script Pattern

Clone a whole prefix between S3 profiles

Mirror one logical folder to another S3 location. End SrcPath with "/" to copy everything under that prefix.

Set Variable [ $result ;
    Inlay_S3_CLONE (
        "source-media" ;
        "projects/1234/" ;
        "archive-media" ;
        "backup/projects/1234/" ;
        "cache" ;
        "sha256"
    )
]

Argument context

  • SrcConfigKey

    Saved source S3 profile key created with Inlay_S3_SET_CONFIG.

  • SrcPath

    Source object key or folder prefix. End the path with "/" to copy everything under that prefix.

  • DstConfigKey

    Saved destination S3 profile key created with Inlay_S3_SET_CONFIG.

  • DstPath

    Destination object key or prefix where copied objects should land.

  • Mode

    Cross-region transfer mode: use stream for the default in-memory path or cache to stage larger copies through a temp file.

  • Conflict

    Conflict strategy when the destination already exists: overwrite, ignore, etag, size, md5, or sha256.

Clone a single object

Use the same function when you only need to move one object key from source to destination.

Set Variable [ $result ;
    Inlay_S3_CLONE (
        "source-media" ;
        "projects/1234/final.mov" ;
        "archive-media" ;
        "deliverables/final.mov"
    )
]

Argument context

  • SrcConfigKey

    Saved source S3 profile key created with Inlay_S3_SET_CONFIG.

  • SrcPath

    Source object key or folder prefix. End the path with "/" to copy everything under that prefix.

  • DstConfigKey

    Saved destination S3 profile key created with Inlay_S3_SET_CONFIG.

  • DstPath

    Destination object key or prefix where copied objects should land.

Use Cases

  • Mirror a project prefix from one S3 location to another without round-tripping through FileMaker.
  • Promote approved assets from a source bucket/profile into an archive or delivery bucket/profile.

Notes / Caveats

  • Network availability and endpoint latency directly affect response time.
  • Same-region copies can stay server-side; cross-region copies may stream through memory or a temp file based on Mode.
  • Conflict modes trade off safety, speed, and checksum guarantees. Prefer overwrite unless you need skip behavior.

    Source path. Use a local filesystem path for uploads or an S3 object/prefix for downloads.

  • DstPathRequired

    Destination path. Use an S3 key/prefix for uploads or a local filesystem path for downloads.

  • ConflictOptional

    Conflict strategy when the destination already exists: overwrite, ignore, etag, size, md5, or sha256.

Returns

JSON string

Returns JSON describing local-to-S3 or S3-to-local copy results and transfer status.

Script Pattern

Upload a local file into S3

When SrcPath is local and DstPath is an S3 key, Inlay uploads the file and shows progress.

Set Variable [ $copy ;
    Inlay_S3_COPY (
        "prod-media" ;
        "/Users/shared/Deliverables/interview.mov" ;
        "projects/1234/interview.mov" ;
        "overwrite"
    )
]

Argument context

  • ConfigKey

    Saved S3 profile key created with Inlay_S3_SET_CONFIG.

  • SrcPath

    Source path. Use a local filesystem path for uploads or an S3 object/prefix for downloads.

  • DstPath

    Destination path. Use an S3 key/prefix for uploads or a local filesystem path for downloads.

  • Conflict

    Conflict strategy when the destination already exists: overwrite, ignore, etag, size, md5, or sha256.

Download an S3 object to disk

When SrcPath points at S3 and DstPath is local, Inlay downloads the object to disk with progress.

Set Variable [ $copy ;
    Inlay_S3_COPY (
        "prod-media" ;
        "projects/1234/interview.mov" ;
        "/Users/shared/Downloads/interview.mov" ;
        "md5"
    )
]

Argument context

  • ConfigKey

    Saved S3 profile key created with Inlay_S3_SET_CONFIG.

  • SrcPath

    Source path. Use a local filesystem path for uploads or an S3 object/prefix for downloads.

  • DstPath

    Destination path. Use an S3 key/prefix for uploads or a local filesystem path for downloads.

  • Conflict

    Conflict strategy when the destination already exists: overwrite, ignore, etag, size, md5, or sha256.

Use Cases

  • Move assets between local disk and S3 with a native progress window for operators.
  • Upload deliverables or pull review files down to a workstation without custom helper scripts.

Notes / Caveats

  • Network availability and endpoint latency directly affect response time.
  • This function opens a native progress window because local-to-S3 and S3-to-local copies can run longer than a typical script step.
  • Conflict modes that rely on hashes may read existing files before deciding whether to copy.

Returns

JSON string

Returns JSON media-analysis details such as streams, duration, and format metadata.

Script Pattern

Analyze media file

Inlay_VIDEO_METADATA ( "/Users/shared/media/fishing.mov" )

Inlay_TRANSCODEInlay_INSTALL_FFMPEG

Inlay_TRANSCODE

Starts a media transcode job (non-blocking).

VideoNewOpens UIReturns JSON

Signature

Mode A: Simple — H.264 MP4 (default)

Inlay_TRANSCODE ( InputPath ; OutputPath )

Mode B: Advanced — full FFmpeg control

Inlay_TRANSCODE ( AdvancedJobJson )

Parameters

  • InputPathSimple — required

    Absolute path to the source media file. Accepts HFS (Macintosh HD:…), filemac:/…, file:/…, filewin:/…, or POSIX path.

  • OutputPathSimple — required

    Absolute path for the output file, typically ending in .mp4. Same path formats as InputPath.

  • FFmpegArgsJsonSimple — optional

    JSON array of FFmpeg CLI tokens that override the default H.264 settings, e.g. ["-crf","18"]. Omit to use the built-in H.264 MP4 preset.

  • AdvancedJobJsonAdvanced — replaces all above

    Pass a JSON object as the only argument to take full control: multiple outputs, filter_complex graphs, custom stream mapping. Required fields: inputs (array of {path}), outputs (array of {path, args}). When used, InputPath and OutputPath are not needed.

Returns

Status JSON

Opens a native progress window and returns immediate status JSON for the started job.

Script Pattern

Simple — H.264 MP4 (default)

Two arguments are all you need. The plugin transcodes to browser-ready H.264 MP4 with AAC audio and faststart/hinting enabled automatically.

Set Variable [ $job ;
    Inlay_TRANSCODE (
        "/Users/shared/media/source.mov" ;
        "/Users/shared/media/output.mp4"
    )
]

Argument context

  • InputPath

    Absolute path to the source media file. Accepts HFS (Macintosh HD:…), filemac:/…, file:/…, filewin:/…, or POSIX path.

  • OutputPath

    Absolute path for the output file, typically ending in .mp4. Same path formats as InputPath.

Advanced — hi-res + proxy + poster in one pass

Pass a single JSON object as the only argument. filter_complex splits the source once so all three outputs share one decode pass — no re-reading the file.

Set Variable [ $job ;
    Inlay_TRANSCODE (
        "{
  ""global_args"": [""-y""],
  ""inputs"": [
    { ""path"": ""/Volumes/Media/source.mov"" }
  ],
  ""filter_complex"": ""[0:v]split=3[vhires][vproxy_src][vpost_src];[vproxy_src]scale=960:540[vproxy];[vpost_src]thumbnail=300[vposter]"",
  ""outputs"": [
    {
      ""path"": ""/Volumes/Media/output_1080p.mp4"",
      ""args"": [""-map"",""[vhires]"",""-map"",""0:a?"",""-c:v"",""libx264"",""-preset"",""medium"",""-crf"",""20"",""-pix_fmt"",""yuv420p"",""-movflags"",""+faststart"",""-c:a"",""aac"",""-b:a"",""192k""]
    },
    {
      ""path"": ""/Volumes/Media/output_proxy.mp4"",
      ""args"": [""-map"",""[vproxy]"",""-map"",""0:a?"",""-c:v"",""libx264"",""-preset"",""fast"",""-crf"",""28"",""-c:a"",""aac"",""-b:a"",""96k""]
    },
    {
      ""path"": ""/Volumes/Media/poster.png"",
      ""args"": [""-map"",""[vposter]"",""-frames:v"",""1""]
    }
  ]
}"
    )
]

Argument context

  • AdvancedJobJson

    Pass a JSON object as the only argument to take full control: multiple outputs, filter_complex graphs, custom stream mapping. Required fields: inputs (array of {path}), outputs (array of {path, args}). When used, InputPath and OutputPath are not needed.

Use Cases

  • Transcode any source video to browser-ready H.264 MP4 with just two arguments — no FFmpeg knowledge required.
  • Produce a hi-res delivery file, a smaller proxy, and a poster image all in one pass using the advanced JSON mode.
  • Automate post-production workflows: trigger a transcode from a FileMaker script and poll the result file until done.

Notes / Caveats

  • Returns immediately — transcoding happens in the background with a native progress window. Poll the result_path file in a script loop to detect completion.
  • The progress window can be cancelled by the user. Check the result JSON for ok: false and status: "cancelled" to handle early exit.
