Once on the Add Field screen:
Add a New Field select field = Text (plain).
Re-use an Existing Field select field = leave as is.
Label field = Video ID.
Machine-readable Name field = this will auto construct from the Label field - it's suggested that this be overridden to include the same naming convention started with the other field that's present in this media type - media_video_id.
Click the Save and Continue button.
The initial Video ID field settings will appear in a Field Settings tab:
Maximum Length select field = 255 (leave as is).
Allowed Number of Values combination field = Limited 1 (leave as is).
Click the Save Field Settings button.
You will be redirected to the Video ID settings Edit tab:

Required Field checkbox = will force a user to enter data in this field - not suggested for this field because it will be auto-filled and hidden from the user.
