The version of Flask-Uploaded on PyPi is broken since February 2020.
You can use the drop in replacement: https://pypi.org/project/Flask-Reuploaded/
When you want a file extension, which is not contained in a pre-defined set, you just can create your own one.
e.g.
VIDEOS = tuple("mp4 mov")
and then configure Flask-Reuploaded as described in the documentation, i.e
videos = UploadSet('videos', VIDEOS)
If you do not want to use Flask-Reuploaded, there is a very good blog post by Miguel Grinberg explaining all the details - without using an upload extension:
