Can you compressed the video before uploading? I think at least a couple of clients have integrated a compression tool for precisely this reason.
An alternative, if you can or feel inclined, is to set up your own Haven relay, which includes your own personal relay plus your own blossom media server.
I set mine up a few months ago and now I'm responsible for maintaining my media content. I know that if there's a problem with nostr build that not all of my media will vanish, though I still need to mirror all the content between my nostr build accband haven relay.
It is a bit of fluff and a degree of learning, but once your content is under your control, you can do as you wish with it, without worrying that someone else might remove it etc.

I have compressed it very aggresively. I wont do it less than 700mb.
I do not want to setup anything.
I dont want to spend time configuring things, I wan to spend time filming things.
Learning is not a problem I am very technical, and I have LLMs, I just want something that works.
And plus now I have this VPS, and other things and now i need to worry about bandwidth CNDs etc.
Tbh, it's all trade offs. With Twitter/FB etc, you'll get "free" storage, uploads, shares etc. To get that you pay by surrendering control and being profiled. The risk is, one wrong move and years of work and effort are gone, forever.
On the flip side, you use your VPS to install haven, pay for your domain etc, it costs, time and effort. But on the upside, you're in full control of your content, you're not being profiled (yet) and you're not going to be censored for wrongthink.
Having set up my own relay, I get why people don't, however.
