it's all part of the process of owning your own content. many people don't realize all of the tiny bells and whistles that go into these things though. they'd normally have their content managers or producers or social media teams doing these things for them. if we're trying to empower people, themselves, instead of corporations with these teams of people, then i think we can do better as an ecosystem and work on some of these services for people.
i don't know how nostr.build would do it with blossom files. it would have to be uploaded first, then transcoded, and after the file is finally changed, then signed. that's not a good user experience. they could probably do this for the normal nostr.build uploaded files though since they're not signed.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it would require some work on the client end too. Depending on video size transcoding will take some time. Working that into the note signing flow would need feedback and the client end to be able to get the right file name in the note, etc.
Again. I paid Nostr build $71 a year?! I pay FAR-LESS than that to distribute video through distro-kid. This is not a user issue. This is a Nostr issue.
For years, third party scheduling apps for social media have done this for users. Users don’t realize they need to do it. The first person to make a third party scheduling app for Nostr that is like the ones real social media teams use will help Nostr win and become the go-to for normie users—if we ever get them. I keep saying this and will die on this hill.
Every other platform does this in the back end yes. It would be great for Nostr to see a good video handling system, but it's yet to come about. Supporting HLS would be fantastic. I saw so many vlogs that where 5 minutes long and 2GB, while I encode full 2 hour movies at half the size.
If Nostr video ever wants to take off this needs to be solved. I've been banging this drum for months.
