AWS File Upload Video Length Limit?

In my application, I am looking for a way to limit the length of the videos that are uploaded to 60 seconds or less. Is there any way to do this through the AWS File Upload plugin?

Hello @jwoodall ,
Thank you for contacting us.

To limit the length of the videos that are uploaded, you must customize your plugin and set the value in seconds that you want.
Please see the screenshot I have attached, it shows how to limit the videos.

Also, feel free to use our documentation and plugin demo page, which also shows you how to use this feature.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask.

Cheers!

Perfect! Thank you so much.

I just read your documentation regarding the Max timeout feature and it indicates the following:

“Max timeout (s) - maximum time that the app will wait for a file to upload; if the file doesn’t get uploaded during this time, the upload request will be canceled.”

I am trying to find a way to ensure that an uploaded video is only 60 seconds or less. Does the Max timeout feature do that too? I’ll keep reading to see if I can find it discussed elsewhere.

Hello @jwoodall ,
Thank you for your reply and sorry for long answer due to the weekend.

Upon further discussion with our development team, it appears that the functionality you are seeking is not currently available in the plugin in question. I regret to inform you that, as of now, we are unable to assist directly with this specific request.

However, I’ve taken the initiative to include your suggestion in our Plugin Improvement List. Our team will assess its feasibility for potential inclusion in future updates. Please be aware that this feature request is currently categorized as a lower priority, which means we are unable to commit to a specific timeline for its implementation. Nonetheless, we will certainly keep you informed of any progress or updates in this regard.

In the meantime, if your project involves developing an application with camera recording capabilities, I recommend exploring our Video Recorder plugin. This alternative might offer the functionality you need, and you may find it aligns well with your project’s requirements.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Cheers!
