# Videos

> Work with videos that belong to an index. These endpoints will be deprecated.

> **Info**
>
> The endpoints in this section will be deprecated in a future version. New implementations should upload files with [direct](/v1.3/api-reference/upload-files/direct-uploads) or [multipart](/v1.3/api-reference/upload-files/multipart-uploads) uploads, then [index them separately](/v1.3/api-reference/index-content/create).

For asset-level operations, such as retrieving assets, managing user-defined metadata, or retrieving transcriptions, see [Manage assets](/v1.3/api-reference/manage-assets).
