  • What’s the purpose of the partially locked portion? To share with others? To quickly preview the contents?

    Like others have said, the trouble with coming up with a one-file partial lock is compatibility. If its just local on your machine, that could theoretically be figured out. But the cloud web player is another issue. Unless you happen to be a webdev for your cloud company or write a plugin to replace the default player, you’re not going to have that “feature” supported.

    That leads me to a two file solution. In a folder you’d have a the short unlock version, and the encrypted version.

    The trouble with that is, yes it’s encrypted but you need to download the file to decrypt it and then destroy the local copy when your done. I’m unaware of any cloud service that supports decrypting video files on the fly, not that I’ve looked.
