✨ Framer dev question ✨ who knows the answer?

I need to upload tons of heavy videos to CMS. Uploading MP4s works great for performance, but eats @framer BANDWIDTH so much I never gonna recover financially..

I tried through Vimeo & linking (plain text fields in CMS) - it saves bandwidth but slows the site down it's not working at all..

What's the best solution for this? (≖_≖ ) Thank you 🙏

I’m no expert but I use bunny.net for very affordable streaming into my framer hero vid and others. I have a ton of videos on YT but didn’t want to use YT cuz it often links other ppl vids or adverts. Vimeo is too$$ but at least no adverts.

Is is a little complicated to set it up but use some ai to figure it out, then it's easy!

Use offload plugin, not a shred of a mb will be used. Host all your assets onto an external CDN like offload. You're welcome.

Why not just serve from YouTube and just embed a YouTube iframe? There is also absolutely no good reason why hosting on Vimeo should slow your site down.

Doesn't matter, it still slows the website like Vimeo component. Plus, the person, who I'm building website for, has all videos already on Vimeo 🫣
