As most people know, a video is a series of images that is usually paired with an audio track.

While this is no different for Motto, the term “video” may sometimes be used by Motto to refer to the technical object used by Motto’s APIs to represent a collection of playlists (it may be multiple, as each playlist may represent a different playback format). The Motto video player accepts a video_id (which is the identifier of a single video object in Motto) in order to retrieve the necessary information to start playback.

In a technical sense, in Motto, an .mp4 file is not considered a video but rather a video asset, because the video player works with HLS or Dash playlists.

For more technical information on videos in Motto, see the video API documentation.
