Hey Matthias,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Unfortunately there is no way to add a progress indicator for the new video creation form because the video is only uploaded in the POST request and not via a separate XHR request / iframe like the story form.

do you think in general this could be changed in the future? I am sure many users would appreciate this, because as long as the file is uploaded customers really don't know how long the upload will take, if it actually is working, etc.

Hey Matthias,

It could be possible to upload the files to a temporary destination first but to be honest, that would make the user experience a little unfriendly. Imagine that you are uploading a 30GB video file.

If you want the files to be uploaded via a separate request, then the "Submit" button would not show up until the file is completely uploaded. In my opinion, having the upload progress being tracked is just redundant, and the only reason we had to do this on the story form is mainly because of the way we submit the form via AJAX.

I understand your point, but we have had many discussions with our customer and his users about this, and they insist on having a similar upload possibility with the progress of the upload showing on the video page like they have i the story form.

How can I make this possible? Wouldn't this just mean an adaption of the Upload-Form?

Hey Matthias,

I see. It's not just "adapting" the form from the status update area but it needs a lot of rework in terms of logics behind adding new videos using the video form.
