 This entity maked use of a codeunit named com.tsnocode.core.cms.MediaEventHandler . The codeunit is controlled via the System configuration that start with Cms.Media. . If the media is a video, then the video is re-encoded into the  defined resolutions and bitrates . This takes a while and therefore the site will be loading for a little while. A thumbnail is also generated, and that path is saved in the field "Alt Path".
