Create a test VOD asset using the Transcoder API

You can use the Transcoder API quickstart to create a test VOD asset in a Cloud Storage bucket. The transcoding job in the quickstart creates a number of assets in the bucket; the output manifest.m3u8 file is the primary playlist for an HLS VOD asset. MPEG-DASH playlists are also supported.

This procedure is optional; you can use your own VOD asset in place of this test VOD asset.
