Circumvent Server upload limit

My server gives the following message:

Notice: your server allows you to upload 20 files of maximum 1536M bytes each and total 1536M bytes and allows 3000 seconds to complete. If your request exceeds these limitations, it will fail, probably without an errormessage. Additionally your hosting provider may have set other limitations on uploading files.

Based on your server memory limit you should not upload images larger then 46.0 Mega pixels
E.g. not bigger than approx 8025 x 6000 pixels (4:3) or 9250 x 5200 (16:9)

However, my albums are going to have a combination of photos and videos, of course, videos are a few minutes long (about 3 to 4 minutes). They run into about 250MB – 300MB. I can FTP them without any issues into wpp/wp-content/uploads/wppa. For eg – I can upload a 40MB video mp4 but couldn’t upload 120MB mp4.

Is there a script that I can run where I can submit the name of the video file and the albumname as a parameter and it updates the database?

If there are other workarounds, can you please share?

Thx

UPDATE
I read the documentation for IMPORT photos and was able to FTP a large file into depot and then use Import photos. It nicely did what I had typed above. Marking as resolved!
