Hello,

In the Asset Library, we have uploaded a bunch of MP4 videos in order to be able to place them on pages using a custom component in the Visual Editor.

This is my component definition

```auto
{
  "name": "HalfMediaHalfCopy",
  "image": "http://localhost:3000/component-icons/layout-sidebar-left-expand.png",
  "inputs": [
    ...
    {
      "friendlyName": "Media File",
      "name": "src",
      "type": "file",
      "allowedFileTypes": [
        "mp4",
        "jpg",
        "jpeg",
        "png",
        "svg",
        "gif"
      ],
      "helperText": "Uploaded image or video file.",
      "_docs": {
        "image": {
          "width": 1000,
          "height": 1000
        }
      }
    },
    ...
  ],
  "noWrap": true,
  "static": true,
  "defaultStyles": {
    "margin": "0px",
    "marginTop": "0px",
    "marginBottom": "0px",
    "marginLeft": "0px",
    "marginRight": "0px",
    "padding": "0px",
    "paddingTop": "0px",
    "paddingBottom": "0px",
    "paddingLeft": "0px",
    "paddingRight": "0px"
  }
}

```
