The problem is in your html file:

<source src="{% static 'deploy/object.videofile' %}" type='video/mp4'> //here 

You are trying to fetch the video file as an static file. This is not the correct approach.

Try passing the url of the object's video file in the src of the video as:

<br><br> <video width='400' controls> <source src="{{ object.videofile.url }}" type='video/mp4'> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> <br><br> 

Make sure you have maintained the media file settings. In your settings.py file:

MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT= os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "media_root") 

Then in your main urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('', # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ... ) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) 

Then make changes in your html file:

<source src="{% static 'deploy/object.videofile' %}" type='video/mp4'> //here
