Start a Bulk Video Upload to Rev

Bulk Video Upload to Rev File Properties
The copied video files and their corresponding JSON (metadata) files are sent to Rev through
Rev's POST uploads/videos API found on the Vbrick documentation site.
Keep in mind that if the .mp4 file or JSON file is missing any metadata fields, the DME will
not supply any default fields. The exception to this is the
provided through the DME's Rev Interface page and is defaulted to "DME". You must have
a Rev user account with the same name as the
this function instead of supplying it through the JSON file.

metadata fields. To understand how these fields are handled through Rev in this case, view
