Hello

We are developing a video-sharing website where users can upload videos and select the thumbnail frame from a video as a poster.

For supporting the above functionality, we are using FFMPEG framework for processing the video to get a thumbnail and video duration.
Process is successful when uploading videos of size less than 140 MB. If the video size is more FFMPEG processing is failed due to Gateway Timeout error. 

I checked with hostgator team thinking it is a server issue but after checking the logs they say its nothing wrong from server and it my be an issue in deployment of FFMPEG

logs:
07:40:01 PM 1607740 260036 13.92 0 0 0 0 0.00 0
07:50:02 PM 1620700 247076 13.23 0 0 0 0 0.00 0
08:00:01 PM 1619376 248400 13.30 0 0 0 0 0.00 0
Average: 1631192 236584 12.67 0 0 0 0 0.00 0

I didn't understand what logs say but posting it for your reference.

Time taken for uploading a movie - 1 minute
Time taken for processing a video using FFMPEG for same video - 6 minutes

Why are we using FFMPEG ? 
1) Capture a thumbnail from a video
2) Duration of the video

Server Specifications
Hosting : Hostgator
CPU :2.69 GHZ
RAM: 1824 MB
Disk space :80GB
Bandwidth : 1425 GB

Thank you in advance for the solution. Prompt response will be appreciated and is a great help to me.

Regards
