Clip and trim a VOD

Create a new on-demand clip from an existing FastPix media by sending its mediaId with start and end times to the create-media API. The clip is a new asset with its own playback ID.

1. Description

Create a clip by sending a POST to https://api.fastpix.com/v1/on-demand. In the inputs array, reference the source video as fp_mediaId://{MEDIA_ID} and set startTime and endTime in seconds; omit them to clone the full source duration. FastPix transcodes the segment into a new on-demand asset with its own mediaId and playbackId. It cuts on the nearest keyframe, so the final duration can differ from the requested times by a few hundred milliseconds. See the Clip and trim videos guide at /video-on-demand/clip-and-trim-videos.
