}The above structure is a JSON representation of an mp4 video asset containing its properties, such as its:
- Status (“active” or “inactive”)
- Location path (“src”)
- Bandwidth (kbps)
- Length (in seconds)
- Exact length (in milliseconds)
- Associated media clip (‘mediaclipid’)
The status property is ‘active’ by default and can be set to inactive. When set to ‘inactive’, the asset is left out of the public media clip data that is used in a player embed situation. The ‘mediaclipid’ property refers to the associated media clip. Each asset can only be associated to one media clip.

2.0 | Create/Update
PUT /sapi/mediaasset
When creating or updating a media asset, the payload should contain a JSON encoded media asset object:
{"status":"active","mediaclipid":"1082436","src":"[https://nice.asset.website","mediatype":"MP4_HLS","bandwidth":"121","width":"121","height":"212](https://nice.asset.website","mediatype":"MP4_HLS","bandwidth":"121","width":"121","height":"212)"}A “mediaclipid” property is required and should contain the ID of a valid media clip for proper association to an existing media clip.
