Hey all, just saying hi 👋🏼 Happy to answer any questions you might have after reading the article.

I’m really excited about this latest innovation and that we can offer it to any user, single dev or broadcaster with millions of assets.

Looking forward to your feedback and/or questions!

PS: Smart Chunking is available for anybody using the [dashboard](https://bitmovin.com/dashboard/) or our BETA tag via API. You will also get it by using STABLE soon! ([all encoder versions](https://bitmovin.com/docs/encoding/releases/encoder))
