Resize Video
The Resize Video block takes an existing video file and resizes it, accepting a video URL as its primary input.
Resize a video file to new dimensions
The Resize Video block takes an existing video file and resizes it, accepting a video URL as its primary input. The block is configured with a destination variable name that determines where the output URL of the resized video will be stored for use in subsequent workflow steps. An optional intermediate asset flag controls whether the resulting file appears in the gallery or is kept hidden, which is useful when the resized video is an intermediate step rather than a final deliverable.
The block requires a video URL pointing to the source file and a destination variable to capture the output. These two parameters are the core of its interface, making it straightforward to slot into any workflow that handles video content programmatically.
This block fits into workflows that involve video processing pipelines, such as preparing videos for different display contexts, adapting uploaded content to platform-specific dimensions, or chaining multiple video editing steps together. It can be combined with other video editing blocks to build multi-step transformation sequences.

What parameters are required to use the Resize Video block?
The block requires two parameters: a video URL pointing to the source file, and a destination variable name where the output URL of the resized video will be stored.
What does the block return?
The block saves the URL of the resized video into the variable specified by the destination variable field, making it available for use in subsequent steps of the workflow.
What does the intermediate asset option do?
When the intermediate asset flag is set to true, the resized video is created but hidden from the gallery. This is useful when the resized file is only needed as a step within a larger workflow and should not appear as a standalone output.
What kinds of workflows commonly use this block?
This block is commonly used in video processing pipelines where source videos need to be adapted to specific dimensions, such as normalizing user uploads, preparing content for different platforms, or chaining multiple video editing operations together.
Can this block be combined with other video editing blocks?
Yes. Because the block outputs a URL stored in a named variable, that URL can be passed as input to other video editing blocks in the same workflow, enabling multi-step video transformation sequences.
