Awesome. Just what I was looking for!

submit a single inputFile from existing job template

1. create your favorite job template from console and name it, let's say 'my-h265-template'
2. prepare your iam role
3. upload your video to s3 bucket
4. run command below

region=ap-northeast-1
endpoint=$(aws mediaconvert describe-endpoints --region $region --query 'Endpoints[0].Url' --output text)
role='arn:aws:iam::112233445566:role/MediaCovertRole'
templateName='my-h265-template'
inputFile='s3://YOUR-BUCKET-NAME/filename.MP4'
# create a job from the template
aws --region $region mediaconvert create-job \
--job-template $templateName \
--role $role \
--setting "{\"Inputs\": [{\"FileInput\": \"$inputFile\"}]}" \
--endpoint-url $endpoint
