Hi Enrico, If you want to get started really quickly, you can create VP9 encodings from the [Dashboard UI](https://bitmovin.com/dashboard/encoding/create/vod?). (Choose VP9 from the dropdown in step 2) If you’re ready to start with the SDKs, then I’d recommend checking out the [Getting Started Guide](https://bitmovin.com/docs/getting-started) in the language of your choice and from there, you switch the H264 api endpoints in the example to VP9. You can find details about the VP9 presets [here](https://bitmovin.com/docs/encoding/tutorials/vp9-presets). There’s also the [multi-codec encoding](https://github.com/bitmovin/bitmovin-api-sdk-examples#multi-codec-encoding) example in our github repository that has H264, H265, and VP9 outputs so you can see a working example there. Hope that helps! ---
