Video Demo – S3 Media Maestro

The video player directly below is secured with link expiration occurring in
seconds. The video file is stored in an AWS S3 bucket, but is accessed via CloudFront distribution.

Below is an example of a video file that is protected with an expiring URL. If you click play within the 1 minute countdown, the video file will play. If you wait until the timer completes, the video file will not play the video file.

Here is a direct link to the same exact video file as the one displayed below in the player to demonstrate that it is truly protected and not publicly accessible.

This is an example of a YouTube video. YouTube videos are not protected because they are not hosted on AWS S3. The video player is using the Ted-talks skin.

The example below contains a protected video playlist with a splash image. The video files are hosted on AWS S3. The video player will play even after the timer runs out because the video file is preloaded (only the first file). However, if the URL is obtained by inspecting the page's HTML, the URL will not work.
