Hi Gavin, You need to first upload your video to the *Ad Gallery* as described in the following help article:
https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375463 Once the video is in your gallery you can get its media ID via MediaService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/MediaService#get> as described in the Template Ads Guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/template-ads#video_ads> . If the above doesn't help, please let me know.
