Describe the Feature
Blacksky's video upload service doesn't reject videos longer than 3 minutes as long as they meet file size requirements. Bluesky hard rejects a video longer than 3 minutes. If I upload a video longer than 3 minutes to Blacksky, it works fine in the Blacksky appview but returns Video Not Found on Bluesky.
Blacksky could work around this by supporting a second video embed entry, for example:
{
"$type": "app.bsky.feed.post",
"embed": {
"$type": "app.bsky.embed.video",
"video": { "$type": "blob", "ref": {"$link": "<short 3min cid>"}, ... },
"fullVideo": { "$type": "blob", "ref": {"$link": "<long cid>"}, ... }
}
}
and serve the fullVideo entry while allowing Bluesky to access the video entry. User could be prompted to include "full video on Blacksky" in their post text if a >3min video is detected.
Trimming the longer video for Bluesky could be handled by:
- Just cutting it off at 3 minutes (easiest)
- Giving the user a simple video editing UI to select the Bluesky version (maybe a V2)
and advanced users posting with scripts could specify the timecode positions to cut the video.

Describe Alternatives
Naming the field fullVideo is more appview agnostic in case other appviews want to implement this, but blacksky.fullVideo could also work. Might start the precedent of e.g. -moz prefixes on new CSS properties that aren't final, though atproto comes with the limitation of not being able to go back and update flags if consensus is reached later.
