Convert video to an audio file

Function: Convert video to an audio file

This function allows you to easily transform a video file stored in your media library into a new audio file. This is useful when you only need the sound from a video, such as extracting music, speeches, or sound effects. The new audio file will be saved in your media library, and you'll receive its unique identifier.

Input,

• Media ID of the video file: The unique identifier of the video file you want to convert, which is already stored in your platform's media library.
• Audio file name: The desired name for the new audio file that will be created from the video.

Output,

• The ID of the created media file: The unique identifier for the newly generated audio file in your media library. You can use this ID to reference or use the audio file in other parts of your application.
