2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

Parameter Name	Required	Type	Description
Action	Yes	String	Common Params. The value used for this API: ProcessMedia.
Version	Yes	String	Common Params. The value used for this API: 2019-06-12.
Region	No	String	Common Params. This parameter is not required for this API.
InputInfo	Yes	MediaInputInfo	The information of the file to process.
OutputStorage	No	TaskOutputStorage	The storage location of the media processing output file. If this parameter is left empty, the storage location in `InputInfo` will be inherited.
OutputDir	No	String	The directory to save the media processing output file, which must start and end with `/`, such as `/movie/201907/`. If you do not specify this parameter, the file will be saved to the directory specified in `InputInfo`.
ScheduleId	No	Integer	The scheme ID. Note 1: About `OutputStorage` and `OutputDir` If an output storage and directory are specified for a subtask of the scheme, those output settings will be applied. If an output storage and directory are not specified for the subtasks of a scheme, the output parameters passed in the `ProcessMedia` API will be applied. Note 2: If `TaskNotifyConfig` is specified, the specified settings will be used instead of the default callback settings of the scheme. Note 3: The trigger configured for a scheme is for automatically starting a scheme. It stops working when you manually call this API to start a scheme.
MediaProcessTask	No	MediaProcessTaskInput	The media processing parameters to use.
AiContentReviewTask	No	AiContentReviewTaskInput	Type parameter of a video content audit task.
AiAnalysisTask	No	AiAnalysisTaskInput	Video content analysis task parameter.
AiRecognitionTask	No	AiRecognitionTaskInput	Type parameter of a video content recognition task.
AiQualityControlTask	No	AiQualityControlTaskInput	The parameters of a quality control task.
TaskNotifyConfig	No	TaskNotifyConfig	Event notification information of a task. If this parameter is left empty, no event notifications will be obtained.
TasksPriority	No	Integer	Task flow priority. The higher the value, the higher the priority. Value range: [-10, 10]. If this parameter is left empty, 0 will be used.
SessionId	No	String	The ID used for deduplication. If there was a request with the same ID in the last three days, the current request will return an error. The ID can contain up to 50 characters. If this parameter is left empty or an empty string is entered, no deduplication will be performed.
SessionContext	No	String	The source context which is used to pass through the user request information. The task flow status change callback will return the value of this field. It can contain up to 1,000 characters.
TaskType	No	String	The task type. `Online` (default): A task that is executed immediately. `Offline`: A task that is executed when the system is idle (within three days by default).

3. Output Parameters

Parameter Name	Type	Description
TaskId	String	Task ID.
RequestId	String	The unique request ID, which is returned for each request. RequestId is required for locating a problem.
