OTOH, if it's targeting (at least in part) the tiktok crowd or busy people throwing together a video slideshow for a wedding, you might be dealing with a situation where most of the source video is already in datacenters already, whether FB, GPhotos, etc.

The Tiktok crowd also doesn't need 4k or 8k video. Automatically downscaling the source material before uploading will be an acceptable tradeoff for the vast majority of users.
I’m not sure how that would be a benefit without massive partnerships with the custodians of those assets.

For gphotos at least, could I not just put them in an album that's shareable by link and then paste that link into Runway for it to ingest from? There'd still be an "upload" stage, of course, but not involving someone's home internet.

I believe the comment you replied to is talking about peering agreements, or some other way of coming to terms with the potentially huge of traffic this could generate.
