Creates an ID that can be used to render an image containing multiple images from a collection.
This is used in conjunction with GetFilmstripThumbnailPixels. A call to filmstripThumbnails.create provides an expression and some output options. The result of filmstripThumbnails.create is an ID that represents an image that is the result of evaluating that expression and applying those options. Subsequently, calls to GetFilmstripThumbnailPixels can be made to get an image showing all of the elements of an ImageCollection, concatenated top-to-bottom or side-to-side. The ID will be valid for a moderate period (a few hours).
The request is limited to 512*512*100 pixels in total, across all Images in the ImageCollection. Requests exceeding these limits will result in an error code of 400 (BAD_REQUEST).
