# asset.created

> A video asset was created and has entered preparation.

`asset.created` is recorded when a video asset is created, including as part of Upload completion. The video asset is in `preparing` status.

Use `asset.playback_ready` to know when the HLS stream is playable. Use `asset.ready` when playback, the poster, and timeline previews are all ready.

The payload captures the video asset at creation. Retrieve the video asset for its current state. Delivery may be repeated or arrive after later events.
