Description

As implemented now, the video's metadata is not editable while uploading. We can allow the actions/details edit while uploading by keeping changes on local state and commiting them when the upload is finished and the video is assigned an `id`.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the VideoPress upload flow and the actions/details metadata editor, then trace how the video receives its id; done means metadata edits remain usable during upload and are committed after upload completion.
