s3 = boto3.client('s3')
response = s3.upload_file(
    finalResult, 'media-storage-beta', 'video')

Answer 1

You need to install boto3 in your virtualenv. Also depends where you are running Flask app. If you trying to upload from local. You need AWS access keys in the ENV variables. You can define a route like this in flask. A form with videotitle and upload file in form is used here.

@app.route('/uploadvideo', methods=['POST'])
def uploadvideo():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        print(request.form['videotitle'])
        f_video = request.files['videofile']
        print(f_video.filename)
        # create video_url
        s3_bucket_video_url = <Main_Folder> + '/videos/' + video_file_name
        s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
        response = s3_client.upload_file(
            f.filename, <BUCKET_NAME>,s3_bucket_video_url)
        return 'Success'
