videoVisibilityOptionId	integer	Specifies the visibility option for the video (e.g., public, private).

info

The properties (dateTimeFrom, dateTimeTo, fromMilisecond, toMilisecond) are designed to let you specify a time range for extracting a specific segment of the video, enabling tailored analysis or editing of the desired portion of the video. Here's how they work:

Key Usage Rules:

1. Use either milliseconds fields or datetime fields to specify the cut, not both simultaneously.
2. These fields are nullable. If left empty, the entire video stream will be converted to a VOD (Video On Demand) video.

Examples:

• Using Milliseconds: If you want to extract a segment of the video from the 10th minute to the 15th minute, you would set:

  • fromMilisecond = 600000
  • toMilisecond = 900000

• Using Datetime: To extract a specific segment of the video that is streamed between 12:00 PM and 12:15 PM on January 1, 2024, you would set:

  • dateTimeFrom = "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z"
  • dateTimeTo = "2024-01-01T12:15:00Z".

info

The Channel Input Cutting feature enhances the Stop and Cut functionality ensuring that only the actual streamed content is included in the final video by automatically removing any temporary case covers.

To understand how this works and how it impacts video playback, see the Channel Input Cutting Feature Documentation.

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 or 201 response.
