Question

Passing a video asset into the quick actions window

Hi,

I'm implementing the Adobe Express SDK into our app, I'm about 90% of the way there but one thing I've been attempting to do is load a video into the Video quick actions simlar to the way you can with images into the image quick actions.

I've tried a few ways and the closest I've got is adding a blob into docConfig

docConfig.asset = {
  data: video,
  dataType: 'blob',
  type: 'video'
}


When I do this, the video opens in the quick action window and I thought I'd cracked it but then an Uploading Media spinner carries on spinning and eventually the video vanishes stating that the video failed to upload.



I'm assuming it's trying to further upload the video into assets or something like that?

I'm now starting to question if it's even possible as I realise there are no examples of loading a video into quick actions even in the Git examples and I can't find any discussion about it which I find strange but I thought I'd ask before abandoning all hope 🙂 

 

 Is this possible or do I need to require the user to open the quick action first and then upload the video directly into the window?

Hi there,

I've been able to replicate this behavior. We do have a tracked bug related to video uploads, I believe this is linked to it. Thank you very much for reporting. I'll update it and report back when I have news to share.

Hi, just wondering if this video issue was any closer to being resolved?, I really want to get the app review process started but with this feature not working I can't really prove that whole process works in our app.

Hey, @karl_6591 I think this is probably related to the same issue my team reported back in October https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-embed-sdk-bugs/file-upload-in-progress/idi-p/14908523
Last I heard two weeks ago was that it's still ongoing but got no further ETA.


I'm testing this, and I've got mixed results (some things work indeed, some others don't). I'm waiting for an answer, and then I'll post some more here. Thanks for your patience!
