Hi,
I am having a problem uploading large videos (around 150mb or more) as admin since django don’t allow more than 30 seconds to upload file.
Is there a way to have an image filed that i can enter it’s location manually?

Note: That’s not a Django limit. That’s a limit either of your web server (e.g. apache, nginx, lightspeed, etc) or your application container (e.g. uwsgi, gunicorn).
Yes, you’ve got a couple different ways of handling this.
You can either copy the files into your `media` directory and create your own form and view to allow you to identify that file. Or you could write a script to process the file as if it were actually being uploaded and run it as a custom management command.
I know a couple people here have talked about this sort of thing in the past. If you search through the old messages, you may find some examples / ideas.
