[Pro] can visitors upload video (Freeway Pro)

Is it possible to build a site with Freeway Pro that would allow visitors to upload 1 minute clips of video (much like youtube)? Use Express and love it, btw. And if I’m barking up the wrong tree, what software should I be looking at instead (joomla?). Thank You.

Not if you mean build entirely with Freeway and no add-ons. You will
need a script on your server to process the incoming file uploads,
decide if they are safe or not, save them somewhere on your server,
and then permit access to them after you or another human has vetted
them.

You can make a form in Freeway, and using the Form Setup / Extended
dialog, modify that form to permit file uploads. But that’s where you
would stop in Freeway, and where you would need to pick up in Ruby or
PHP or Perl or any server-side programming language. While there are
lots of free or paid scripts out there to process your file uploads,
you will need some serious programming chops to interpret what they
do, and to make an informed decision about their safety. File uploads
are the number one way to give someone else the keys to your server.
