Video Size/Duration Limitation that can be uploaded on S3 through Rails API

A newbie question but I have googled a bit and can't seem to find any solution.

Is there any max VIDEO size or duration limit by AWS, that can be uploaded on S3 cloud storage using APIs in Rails?

Per the AWS S3 documentation:

Upload objects in a single operation:

With a single PUT operation, you can upload objects up to 5 GB in size. For more information, see Uploading Objects in a Single Operation. Upload objects in parts—Using the multipart upload API, you can upload large objects, up to 5 TB.

The multipart upload API

is designed to improve the upload experience for larger objects. You can upload objects in parts. These object parts can be uploaded independently, in any order, and in parallel. You can use a multipart upload for objects from 5 MB to 5 TB in size.

So it depends on whether or not you're using a multipart form or not, but you only can only do 5GB in a single PUT operation.
