Cant get Binary Data from reading my local mp4 file

Ill have to upload an mp4 frm my local disk to an api. But it requires the binary data (which i dont get)

What is the error message (if any)?

This operation expects the node’s input data to contain a binary file ‘[object Object]’, but none was found [item 0]

Make sure that the previous node outputs a binary file

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node


Here it should give binary data or so
