Closed caption extraction and burn-in

The workflow of extracting closed caption (cc) data from video and burn-in cc into the lowres file has been improved in this release (#197489).

The cc data will be extracted as item metadata if the extractCc parameter is set to true on placeholder/raw import jobs. And the extracted cc data will be burned into the proxy file if a shape tag with burnSubtitles=true

<TranscodePresetDocument>
  <video>
    ...
    <burnSubtitles>true</burnSubtitles>
  </video>
</TranscodePresetDocument>

For example, to extract and burn-in cc at the same time during an import job, use:

POST /import?uri=...&extractCc=true&tag=burnsubtitle-tag

Be able to add custom notification metadata on delete endpoints

It’s now possible to attach custom metadata to item, shape or file deletion requests using the notificationMetadata parameter. For example:

DELETE /storage/file/{file-id}?notificationMetadata=deletion-reason=workflow1

The custom metadata will be included in the corresponding entity deletion notification.
