Video File Size limitation

[ahofbeck]

Problematic behavior
I want to upload a video. It shows me a file size limitation of 10MB.

Expected behavior/code
The video is show in preview:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Upload video >10MB
2. Process aborts and shows message

Environment

• Docs version: 3.5.0
• Instance url: own deployment

Possible Solution

Additional context/Screenshots
I added a file-size definition to my nginx-proxy and added the DOCUMENT_IMAGE_MAX_SIZ=50 (just for testing with and without DJANGO_). It still shows me the message.

Hi,

Should probably be DOCUMENT_IMAGE_MAX_SIZE=52428800 The expected value is in byte.

Tried setting it to some numeric value - Docs treats it as a string, skipping the str=>int conversion step. Probably a bug lol
