rails g model video name:string encoding:attached

class CreateVideo < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :videos do |t|
      t.string :name
      t.attachment :encoding

      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :videos
  end
end

Model:

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_attached :encoding, styles: { 
    webm: { extension: '.webm' },
    mp4:  { extension: '.mp4'  },

    remote.encode(self.encoding.url)
  end

end

Form:

<%= form_for @video, html: { multipart: true } do |form| %>
