Uploads and video storage

Secure upload flow

1. 1

   Create the upload

   Retensis validates the filename, MIME type, size, platform, and ownership context.

2. 2

   Upload directly

   The browser or supported client uploads directly to secure cloud storage through a short-lived presigned PUT URL.

3. 3

   Trigger analysis

   Retensis reserves quota, validates ownership, checks duplicates, and queues the analysis.

4. 4

   Play securely

   Retensis creates short-lived signed GET URLs when an authorized viewer opens the video.

Limits and lifecycle

• Video uploads must use a supported video MIME type.
• The MCP upload handoff caps files at 500 MB.
• A Reel analyzed from your connected Instagram library is copied from Instagram into the same secure storage, under the same 500 MB cap, and is kept and deleted like an upload. It is also erased if you ask Instagram to delete your data.
• Presigned URLs expire and should not be stored as permanent media URLs.
• Deleting an owned video or account removes associated storage through the product’s deletion workflow.
