I would do something like this
video = Video()
video.original = form.cleaned_data['video'] # Assuming the form field is
"video"
video.user = user
video.title = form.cleaned_data['title'] # Assuming the form field is
"title"
video.save() # You might need to make the mp4_480 and mp4_720
fields "nullable" on the model
yourapp.tasks.transcode_video.delay(video) # Assuming the task is the
"transcode_video" function.
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
