# On-the-fly-video optimization

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please contact the support team to activate the video feature for your token.
{% endhint %}

DAM offers on-the-fly video processing with delivery via CDN using the DAM URL for seamless integration. This feature is suited for short clips for websites and web applications such as hero videos or product videos. 

Input files are limited to 500 MB and compressed videos are limited to 4k resolution and duration of no more than 1 minute. If your videos exceed those limits, your use case probably does not fall into the scope of this feature and you should consider using [Video optimization](/dynamic-media-optimization-dmo/transformations/video-optimization.md) and [Video API](/dynamic-media-optimization-dmo/transformations/video-optimization/video-api.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
The video files processed in the URLs need to have the proper file extension (eg. *.mp4*, *.webm*).
{% endhint %}
