Video transcoding (standard transcoding, TSC transcoding, and audio/video enhancement).
Video-to-GIF conversion.
Time point screenshot of videos.
Sampled screenshot of videos.
Image sprite of videos.
Adaptive bitrate stream conversion for videos.
Intelligent content moderation (pornography detection and sensitive information detection).
Intelligent content analysis (tag, category, cover, frame tag, video splitting, highlight, opening and ending clips, and game tracking).
Intelligent content recognition (human face, full text, text keyword, full speech, speech keyword, speech translation, and object).
Media quality inspection (live stream format diagnosis, audio and video content detection (jitter, blur, low light, overexposure, black and white edges, black and white screens, screen glitch, noise, mosaic, QR code, and more), and no-reference scoring).
Smart subtitle (full speech, speech hotword, and speech translation).

A maximum of 100 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

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	Target storage for Media Processing Service output files. If left blank, it inherits the storage location in InputInfo. Note: When InputInfo.Type is URL, this parameter is required.
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	Orchestration ID. Note 1: For parameters OutputStorage and OutputDir: When a sub-task node in service orchestration has OutputStorage and OutputDir configured, the output configured in this sub-task node is used as the output of the sub-task. When a sub-task node in service orchestration does not have OutputStorage and OutputDir configured, if the task creation API (ProcessMedia) has specified an output, it will override the default output of the original orchestration. The priority of output settings is: Orchestration sub-task node > Output specified by the task API > Corresponding configuration within an orchestration. Note 2: For the TaskNotifyConfig parameter, if the task creation API (ProcessMedia) has set this parameter, it will override the default callback of the original orchestration. Note 3: The trigger configured for an orchestration is for automatically starting the orchestration. It stops working when you manually call this API to start an orchestration.
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	Media quality inspection type task parameters.
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	Identification code for deduplication, up to 50 characters. If a request with the same identification code was made within the past 3 days, an error will be returned for the current request. If this parameter is not provided or is an empty string, deduplication will not be performed for this request.
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).
ResourceId	No	String	Resource ID. Ensure the corresponding resource is in the enabled state. The default value is an account's primary resource ID.
SmartSubtitlesTask	No	SmartSubtitlesTaskInput	Smart subtitle task.
SkipMateData	No	Integer	Whether to skip metadata acquisition. Valid values: 0: do not skip 1: skip Default value: 0

3. Output Parameters

Parameter Name	Type	Description
TaskId	String	Task ID.
RequestId	String	The unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.
