How do I email video imported from camera?

How do I email video imported from digital camera?  It is a short video not more than a couple minutes long.   I am using a PowerBook G4.
Thanks for any help.

Video's get big quickly, however, assuming it's not too big, just attach it to your email and send it along.
This isn't a reliable method because you just don't know what the limits are on both ends. It is much more reliable to use a free file transfer service like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, YouTube, etc and just send an email link.

You should compress the video file before transferring. Just click on the name video file and go to the File menu. Compress ... is there. The compressed file will have the same name as the original, with a .zip suffix.
That's not the way to compress a video file. Video files are already compressed using lossy codecs like H.264, and if you apply a lossless codec like ZIP you may end up with zero additional compression. In some cases, applying ZIP to a lossy compressed file may cause the file to become larger.
The correct way to compress a video is to export it from iMovie (or whatever) with the correct settings for the destination (email, YouTube, iPad, etc.).

    You can't edit a video out of iTunes.
    You would have to edit the video from the original film, either on your computer, or iPhone.

  • How do I upload video clips from camera onto icloud

    How do I upload videos taken from my camera which are on my laptop to iCloud?

    Hi Lynda
    miniDVD Cameras are not to use when one wants to edit the material
    they are built for - direct playback
    iMovie and FinalCut needs miniDV (tape) Cameras with a FW-out
    Your Camera probably doesn't have FW out but USB and analog out.
    You can: load Your movie file into the Mac via a DVD-reader that is not slot loaded
    and from here use converting programs to get a file-type that iM or FCE/P
    can read (With quality losses)
    or
    Connect an A/D-box from analog-out on Camera and FW to Mac.
    Also with quality losses.
    Recommendation Primary: Exchang Camera to a miniDV (tape) one
    really the best way.

  • How do I delete the media after import from camera?

    How do I delete the media after import from camera?

    The usual procedure with video is you backup the card contents onto an archive drive. You import from the archive drive making a copy (professionals on set make two copies), and once the backups and import are verified, the card is reformatted in the camera.

  • I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

    I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

    More info please:
    Type of camera?
    Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
    Type of files the camera is set to record?

  • I am using a jvc video camera and i am trying to upload the videos to iMovie. when i click "upload on pc" on the camera,nothing shows up on iMovie. I clicked on "Import from camera" on iMovie but nothing came up. Just my webcam.

    I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
    I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
    You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
    Here is a link.

    Other things to check:
    Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

  • Why does the "Import from Camera" selection open up iSight instead of my camera?

    My Sony Cyber-Shot is connected my iMac through the included USB. About an hour - two hours ago I clicked on the Import from Camera option and it showed my videos recorded using my camera, but now when I click the option it opens up the built in iSight instead. Can someone please help me? How can I get it to open up my camera video files instead of iSight?

    I don't have the Sony, but on my Canon you have to have the camera in "play" mode and when you plug in the usb the camera asks to what do you want the camera to connect. You choose "computer." In other words, it makes a difference in what order you connect things.

  • How do I down load pictures from Camera Roll that were

    How do I down load pictures from Camera Roll on my iPhone to my Mac Pro that were taken prior to iCloud?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This was the same prior to photo streaming with iCloud and remains the same since.
    With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for the import which also supports iCloud photo streaming, or the Image Capture application.

  • Importing from camera - Automatic vs. Manual

    I'm importing DV tapes using my Sony DV camera and my imac into iMovie - things are working fine except when my 1 hour tapes finish the import there are sections of the imported video that are fine and other sections that are imported as separate frames. Then it will pick back up again.
    I thought this was an issue with time code breaks on the tape but I've read that iMovie doesn't recognize time codes so I'm planning to try the Manual option that the Import from Camera feature offers but until then I thought I would post on here to see if anyone is familiar with this issue -
    I can explain further if needed. I'll check back to see responses in about an hour.

    Ok, I'm currently importing an hour DV tape from my Sony came to iMovie on my mac. I'll see how it turns out -
    I went back and erased the other video files from the my movies folder that I had previously imported because it was taking up alot of space and iMovie was running slow and I noticed in there that it had saved all of these thumb nails in addition to little short clips, and it saved all of the import as hundreds of .mov clips -
    so something crazy was definitely going on with the automatic import that i did first.
    as I'm watching it import, there are definitely imperfections on the tape as it's from a few years ago and was in some heat from being on vacation when I was taking the video, but the way it imported before couldn't have had anything to do with the imperfections on the tape - or at least there should be some setting where it basically just takes in the video exactly how it plays out on the VCR function on the camera or as it would if you hooked the camera up to your TV and played the DV tape out -
    I'm not sure I understand totally what dropped frames are all about, but if iMovie doesn't detect or record or take in time codes then I wouldn't think it would pick up on dropped frames.
    maybe I'm wrong

    Hi, how to transform a video file from Mark 5D iii into MVI_2500-Apple ProRes 422 for Progressive material.mov ?
    Is it the best way to work with videos in Final Cut Pro?

    Is your 5D media progressive from the camera? Simply use the optimize option when you import into FCP.

  • Import from Camera Screen - cut off

    Folks,
    I am trying tom import from my Sony DCR-DVD201 camcorder. I can import fine, but the "Import from Camera screen" is cutoff and black for the first 3/4 of the screen -- I can see only the very bottom edges of the video clips.
    I can still import, but is there a fix/setting for this issue?

    i have this bug too. resizing the window, and then hitting play will show the whole window. i have a Panasonic HDC-SD7. it works, but a very annoying.

  • I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

    I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

    You can't. It doesn't work that way.
    the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

  • Questions on how to utilize still/ Video files from 3Gs using iLife 09?

    Hi,
    Just got back from a trip where I took a bunch of stills and videos using the my 3Gs. I just downloaded them onto my Mac using iPhoto.
    1. How do get the video files from iPhoto into iMovie as it seems that iPhoto imported it all.
    2. How do I get the images that were taken with Location services turned "ON" to display the location they were taken?
    3. Will location mapping also work with iPhone video files?

    Maybe someone in the iMovie discussion forum would know some of the specifics from iPhoto to iMovie. I thought I remember seeing a way to import straight from my iMove.

  • Import from camera

    Any idea how to import from a camera these days? In Aperture it found the camera automatically and you could select photos and import.
    With Photos it seems that if I go to File > Import I can find my camera shown as an external drive but I can't then choose a sub folder so I can't seem to import any photos that way.
    The way I'm doing it at the moment is through Finder - dragging and dropping onto the desktop and then importing that way.

    Importing from cameras should work just as it did in iPhoto. As LarryHN points out, if it doesn't, let us know exactly what is occurring.
    IF you have not yet done so, enable Sidebar (from the View menu). This will list the connected camera under the Devices group. When you select your camera, confirm that the Open Photos... option is checked.
