I need to upload videos that were recorded from a video chat.

When there are 2 people on the video chat, I get 2 different WMV files--one video file for each end of the conversation. I want to create a video that shows both people side by side and combines the audio so you can see and hear both users at the same time. So if each video is 320x240, for example, I would want a final video that is 640x240.

Is this possible with the Kaltura API? mixing:requestFlatteningAction seemed like the closest thing but the documentation doesn't explain mixing much at all.

I definitely have to study the API regarding the uploading of videos, but you can achieve that by simply uploading the two videos separately, pasting two KDPs in your page and then controling the synchronism with the Javascript API:
Kaltura Dynamic Player - JS API

i know this doesn't really answer what you are asking, but have you thought about using video editing software to join the files yourself before uploading? it is certainly less elegant than an api based solution but it would get the job done if you don't mind spending the extra time and effort pre-ingestion.
