 Good Day

 On the bundled theme Twenty Seventeen Version: 1.4.

 You are only able to upload a video under the Appearance / Customize /
 Header Media section.

 This results in video content being served from the Base URL.

 i.e.

 <script type='text/javascript'>var _wpCustomHeaderSettings =
 {"mimeType":"video\/mp4","posterUrl":"","videoUrl":"https:\/\/www.stratuscloud.co.za
 \/wp-
 content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Flying.mp4","width":"2000","height":"1200","minWidth":"900","minHeight":"500","l10n":{"pause":"<span
 class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pause background video<\/span><svg
 class=\"icon icon-pause\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"> <use href
 =\"#icon-pause\" xlink:href=\"#icon-pause\"><\/use> <\/svg>","play":"<span
 class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play background video<\/span><svg
 class=\"icon icon-play\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"> <use href
 =\"#icon-play\" xlink:href=\"#icon-play\"><\/use>
 <\/svg>","pauseSpeak":"Video is paused.","playSpeak":"Video is
 playing."}};</script>

 Thus it does not currently seem possible to serve the video from a CDN.

 vs

 https://www.stratuscloud.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Flying.mp4

 Is it possible to override this value on database or file level or would
 this require an additional feature to be added to the Theme?
