Performing the encode

### Uploading a source

If uploading a file, the page will return to the input tab and upload status will be shown. Once complete, the page will revert to VOD dashboard as the job enters the queue for encoding.&#x20;

Encode Status specifies whether or not the encode was successful and gives other information during the encoding process to indicate what stage the encode is at.

* If the encode was successful, then the **Status** displays **Encode Successful**.
* If the encode was not successful, then the **Status** displays **Error Warning**.

The encode log displays information about the encode. To display the encode log:

* Go to **Encode Jobs --> VOD --> Logs tab**.
