Greetings, I have a question about the video files I upload. I use a internet based editing program that once I edit and convert my files with it, it is blocked for security reasons. You know like when you right click to display the files properties and at the bottom it states "This file came from another computer and is blocked for your security".
It's a result of using an internet based editing program. My question is should I unblock it prior too uploading it since it came from my computer and I am the one who made it, or should I leave it blocked when uploading so that the end user can do so if they feel the need? At first when I started uploading them they seemingly take much longer time than usual to upload and I thought it was a result of not unblocking them however, I've uploaded a few more and they all have been approved. So should I or shouldn't I? Many thanks for any help and have a great day!

What do you mean by "blocked"?

As I mentioned previously, when you right click (alt + enter on windows) on any file stored in your computer (photo, video, or music file), and open the files properties it states at the bottom that the file came from another computer and is blocked for security purposes, or it may say this file came from another computer and shouldn't be unblocked unless you trust the source. I can try grabbing and posting a screen shot if needed. Thanks!

It sounds to me that the video, or something that is being fetched by the video, is being called from a redirected source outside of your PC that your operating system detirmines could be a risk.

Sure. Your explanation is still quite incomprehensible. I think that the file locking is done by your virus check for a reason unknown to us.

Thanks for replying everyone. Yes Abambo, here is a screen capture of a music file that a client emailed me for doing a slideshow on YouTube containing some of my stock assets. As in this case, with it being the original file that she had emailed me, it still reflects the same info when I edit my video assets with MicroSoft's "Clipchamp" video editing program. As you can see I highlighted in green what one sees when opening the properties of such edited videos with the said program. With it having been edited via the said editing program, which is an Internet based (you have to be online too use it) program, MicroSofts embedded security program blocks the file. My question was should I unblock my video clips prior to uploading on Adobe Stock, or should I leave it blocked and let either Adobe Stock do it and or the one who purchases the said clips?
I know what you're thinking, why don't I just scan the said files with MicroSoft's "Windows Defender" program after I've created it? Simply put, I don't trust it! My computer is doing some really wonky things (web browsers not opening properly, slow/sluggish unresponsive, also my screen saver images keep disappearing into a blank black screen) and yes too your next inevitable question, I've checked for the latest updates and my web browsers are up to date, and I don't have any extensions running in the background. I've also repeatedly ran "Windows Defender" and scanned my computer for virus and it comes back with no virus found! If anyone else has issues like this please let me know! Thanks again everyone for the much needed help and let me know if I need too make myself more clear on my inquiry, I am sort of dislecksek (unsure of that spelling) when it comes to reading/typing on my computer. Cheers!

I stand by my original reply on May 15.
If this security warning bothers you so much, use trusted software installed on your personal computer.
Problem solved.

Nancy, if you have read any of my thread on this topic you'd know that the software used is from MSN MICROSOFT CLIMPCHAMP that's pre installed or embeded in Windows 11. I can't use anything more secure or what's supposed too be anyway. This is of somewhat importance in that I don't want my account to be terminated, as I am new too shooting stock video! Thanks

Clipchamp is a web-based, free video editor.
You get what you pay for. 🙄
I posted links to non-web based options that install directly on your computer.
It's your choice which tools to use.

User programs never get embedded in the OS. That would be bad practice, besides getting the OS surely into the direction of an unmanageable bloat-ware system.
Clipchamp comes as a free addition to Windows 11 and is a nice tool for amateurs to play with easy video editing.
Whatever you decide.

Depending on your security settings of your OS, you will get blocked for any asset that you get via the internet. If you trust the source, it is a non issue, if you do not trust the source, it may be an issue.
My question was should I unblock my video clips prior to uploading on Adobe Stock, or should I leave it blocked and let either Adobe Stock do it and or the one who purchases the said clips?

If it is blocked, you can't access it. That's my understanding of a blocked file. In addition, this is a Microsoft feature. I've never seen it on my Windows Pro 11 and 10 systems, however.* The only assets that I get “blocked” are Word files that are sent by e-mail. If the file comes from a trusted source, I unlock to be able to edit the file.
If uploading to Adobe Stock works without unblocking, you can upload. Anyhow, it's a Windows feature that will be added to the file as soon as a Windows user downloads the asset from stock.
*Just checking my download area, I see plenty of files with that flag. It has never disturbed my workflow, however.
