Body

application/json

A new clip at the end of the video that plays a blank Tella Motion document of its own, as large as the video and duration seconds long (10 when absent), or your document documentId. Without videoId, a new video as large as that document. The clip lasts as long as its document.

required

The clip's name, and the new video's when there is no videoId.

Minimum string length: 1
Example:

"Intro title"

documentId
string

A Tella Motion document of yours that no video plays yet, for the clip to play instead of a blank one. The video takes it over.

Example:

"ffd_abc123"

duration

How long the clip plays, in seconds (default 10): the blank document's canvas length. Not with documentId, whose document keeps its own length.

Required range: 0.1 <= x <= 3600
Example:

4

videoId
string

The video (vid_…) to add the clip to. Leave it out, with documentId, for a new video.

"vid_abc123"

Response

The new clip and the document it plays

clipId
string

"cl_abc123"

document
object
required

The new video in the Tella editor, when the clip made one.

videoId
string

The new video, when the clip made one.

Example:

"vid_abc123"
