Use Media Transformations in a real application path
Media Transformations bindings let Workers transform video or audio from protected sources.
A compact Media Transformations recipe with config and worker usage in one application path.
Use this as the copyable starter before threading the feature into a larger application.
- Config focus
- bindings.media
- Runtime shape
- Best use
- video/audio transformation paths where the Worker calls Cloudflare Media Transformations
Start by wiring the binding clearly in config
Smallest Media Transformations config
Build the application flow around the binding
Treat this as the app-level Media Transformations path: the route, event handler, or service module receives a real request and uses the binding to do useful work.
Keep product limits, remote ownership, and fallback behavior visible in the code around the binding instead of hiding everything behind a vague utility too early.
- Keep the first example short enough to paste into a new Worker.
- Cloudflare owns real codecs, output fidelity, duration handling, cache behavior, and billing.
Run one media transformation chain
Keep production boundaries visible
- Config focus: bindings.media.
- Runtime shape: .
- Best use: video/audio transformation paths where the Worker calls Cloudflare Media Transformations.
Thread this into the next recipe
Once this smallest path works, add routing, generated types, and feature-specific abstraction in that order.

Testing Media Transformations
Test Media Transformations by choosing the local harness that matches the product boundary instead of reaching for Cloudflare by default.

Artifacts
Add the Artifacts config, call from worker code, and start with the local test path Devflare supports.
