    // Please note: When you enable ajax validation, make sure the corresponding
    // controller action is handling ajax validation correctly.
    // There is a call to performAjaxValidation() commented in generated controller code.
    // See class documentation of CActiveForm for details on this.
    'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,

     <?php

  $this->widget('ext.select2.ESelect2',array(
  'name'=>'Video[user_id]',
  'data'=>CHtml::listData(User::model()->findAll(), 'id', 'username'), //the whole available list
  'htmlOptions'=>array(
       'placeholder'=>' search User name?',

    //'multiple'=>'multiple',
    'style'=>'width:530px',

    ?> <br><br>
    <?php
 $this->widget('ext.EAjaxUpload.EAjaxUpload',
array(
        'id'=>'uploadFile',
        'config'=>array(
               'action'=>Yii::app()->createUrl('video/upload'),//add your controller name here

               'minSizeLimit'=>1*1024,
               'auto'=>true,

                                'emptyError'=>"{file} is empty, please select files again without it.",
                                'onLeave'=>"The files are being uploaded, if you leave now the upload will be cancelled."
                               ),

Answer 2

It seems that your html form doesn't have the enctype attribute so $_FILES is empty. Try to add:

<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('bootstrap.widgets.BsActiveForm', array(
    'id'=>'video-form',
    'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,

    'htmlOptions'=>array('enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'),

)); ?>
