Use returned videoId to retrieve video status and results using GET /videos/videoId. Check videoURL and/or downloadURL (paid account, no watermarks) for generated video with the status 2 (Completed).

If you specify the optional parameter replyUrl the API will call the provided replyUrl with video progress updates until the video is complete or fails.
