How to email videos from iPhoto

What is the best way to email video footage that I have in my iphoto?

There isn't a good way to email video.
Video files are very large and can cause all sorts of issues for the recipient just because of their size. Best option is to upliad the clips to Dropbox, Vimeo, YouTube or sharin services like YouSendIt or RapidShare and then email a link to the other person.

Can anyone explain how to download videos from iPhoto to view on my apple tv?

can anyone explain how to download videos from iPhoto to view on my apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Community TKBsr.
Add them to iTunes and view them through Computers > Home Video.

I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iPhoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I was able to send videos via email in the past. Why?

Look at your settings iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts
and make changes here or add your email account if not in the list
One thing to look at for sure is the SMTP sever name, I think by default it fills it in as smtp.me.com or some such, which may not be your email outgoing server.

My iphoto video formats are the kind that my DMC Panasonic Still camer Shoots.
That doesn't really help, try opening them in QT/inspector and seeing what video and audio compression is used.
My point is, they are the same format as the ones that were imported 3 days ago.
Are you sure, your camera may be capable of taking more than one type of video, does im08 still recognise the video from 3 days ago
Is there a manual way to udate the iMovie video library from iPhoto when new videos are added to iPhoto?

How to access videos from iPhoto in Final Cut Pro X

Hi,
is it possible to access all the videos stored in iPhoto directly from Final Cut Pro X, compareable to iMovie?
Any idea?
Thanks for any help.

iPhoto and Aperture videos don't show up in the Photos browser in FCP X. Apple's directions (can't recall where I saw them) state to open both programs (FCP X and iPhoto) next to each other and then drag and drop the videos from iPhoto (or Aperture) to an event in FCP X.
Not how you'd hope it worked, but it works nontheless.

How to export videos from iPhoto 11

I have synced a load of pics and videos from iphone 5 to iPhoto 11 v9.4.2.
I want to get the vids on youtube (this option is not available via the share button in iPhoto).
I have tried exporting the video from iPhoto so i can do the upload manually as a normal file, however exporting the video (as original file format) causes it to export as a .jpg and not as the video format.
I would have done it form the phone but this fails everytime whether i am on 3g or wi-fi.
iPhoto does not even allow me to see the file location via get info so i cant even just go and find them myself!
How am i supposed to get the video file on my mac somewhere where i can see the file and upload it myself seeing as iphoto does not provide an upload to youtube option?
Please help!
Thanks

iPhoto does not even allow me to see the file location via get info so i cant even just go and find them myself!
If you select the video in the browser and use the command
File > Reveal in Finder > Original file
you should see the video file. Does that not work for you?
Also, you should be able to export the video:
File > Export
and set the "Kind" pop-up menu to "Original", like this:

How to transfer videos from iPhoto to iMovie '11

I can't seem to understand how to put my videos from iphoto over to imovie.

Hi,
Can you say what you have tried?
I do it this way:
- after importing the videos into iphoto, close iphoto
- close imovie if you have it open
- reopen imovie
you should see a dialog box saying imovie is generating thumbnails. Allow it to do so.
I don't know why closing the applications, then restarting imovie works, but it may help you.

Cannot email videos from iPhoto

I have downloaded 2-3 minute videos from camera to iPhot on my iMAC desktop. It does not allow me to share the videos via email. Any suggestions?

Check with your ISP (email provider) as most all of them have limits on attachments (and videos are notoriously large files). If you're using iCloud, here are the limits:

How do I email video from iPhoto

How do I email a video that I've downloaded from my digital camera to iPhoto. Use to be able to use Quicktime Player but with this newer version of IPhoto, I am unable to do so. I have iPhoto '11 9.2.3

If it's small enough you should be able to drag it into a mail message as an enclosure. Or compress it and send the compressed file as an enclosure.
You can make a compressed .zip file of it by right (control) clicking it in the finder and selecting compress. It will create the zip of the selection.
Note that if it is a large video you may exceed the limits your email server imposes (e.g., 10MB, 15MB, whatever). In that case you could use a media sharing site like rapidshare to just send a url to the reciever for them to download from the site.

How2 Email video from iPhoto?

When i click the email icon or "share" in the tool bar, it looks like my options are to send the video to iTunes, MobileMe or YouTube. Thats just great, but suppose i don't want to splatter it all over the web? How do you email it to one person? I see a "trim" option even with a video as little as 12 seconds.

iPhoto 09. Plus i havent been using that mail icon (that looks like a stamp with an eagle).. i've been going to yahoo.mail. I wasn't able to set up my mail on that icon last time i tried

Transferring video from iPhoto

Can someone please tell me how to transfer video from iPhoto onto my iPod Touch? I have some video of my children that I'd like to put on my iPod, but can't figure it out. In iTunes, under Photos tab, I have selected "transfer photos from iPhoto" and the box for "include videos" is checked. Yet, not one video is showing up when I sync. Any other ideas? Thank you!

if the video is in your iTunes library and plays fine in iTunes, try this:
select the video in iTunes and, from the advanced menu, select +create iPod or iPhone version+.
sync the newly created file to the device.
does that work ?

How does one email a video from iPhoto

how does one email a video from iPhoto

One doesn't.
Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentioned, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.
