For a video asset, a Video item and a Picture item are created. The picture contains the thumbnail for the video and is already linked from the Pictures field of the Video content item. The newly created items open up. You can edit it as usual.

When the asset contains an expiration date, then this value is inserted into the Valid to property of the Video content item. The copyright information from the asset is inserted into the corresponding property of the Video. The asset now shows the new Video in the Localized Web Assets field and the Video content item links to the asset.
