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

  • 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?

    I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iphoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I have emailed videos via email in the past. Why is that?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't email videos from iPhoto that was imported from iPhone 4

    After importing videos taken with my iPhone 4 into iPhoto, I can't email them with my yahoo email account. Says it exceeds 25MB and will not allow that. I had no problems with my 3Gs emailing long videos. Any ideas?

    IMHO the best solutiopn is to use Apple mail as hyour e-mail client - set it in the iPhoto preferences

  • What is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    what is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    Size is not the issue. In the old iPhoto you used to be able to share a video and it would compress it to fit an email friendly size. It doesn't do that anymore from iPhoto. I miss that feature. I have to export the video from iPhoto to my desktop then take into the old Quicktime 7 to share in email. Crazy.
    It shouldn't be that complicated. I shouldn't have to find a work around. I guess apple wants to put  you in a box so you have to do it "their way" via uploading to iWeb or iCloud instead of emailing video.
    I don't like those options being taken away.  While the quality may suffer by compressing for email, it is still the most direct and unconvoluted way of sharing something fairly quickly. I don't want to have to post to YouTube or Vimeo or iCloud and send a link. Just compress the video and hit send in an email and be done with it.

  • 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.

  • Transfer of video from IPhoto

    I made a video on my Iphone 4S uploaded it to my Imac via direct connection. When I try to share the video Email it says you can not share videos in IPhoto.
    I posted it to FaceBook and it is fine. Any help with other ways to transfer would be much appreciated.
    Thanks M

    Well you can't email the video from iPhoto.
    So, export the video from iPhoto (File -> Export, set the Kind to Original) to the Finder and attach it to an email from there.
    That said, the person on the other end may not be delighte to receive a large file via Email. It can cause all sorts of problems at the other end. Most people would upload the large file somewhere and send a link so the person could download themselves.

    Is there any way to make it possible to attach a video bigger than this limit???
    Thanks! Kellie.

Please Help!!! My misuse will kill me if find out that we have no more videos from our honeymoon...
    You may need to prepare yourself for a "World of Hurt" from your wife...
    Since the average 0.9 megapixel JPEG photo file of normal graphic complexity stored at a high quality compression setting is 125-135 KBs in size, I would have to assume any QT video files you created of more than a fraction of a second in duration were most likely saved as "reference" files to only be 50-150 KBs. Basically, a reference file is q QT (MOV) file that tells a video player how to play data that is still stored in its original source file container(s). For instance, you could trim and merge a number of files together and save the result as a "reference" file that takes up very little room on your hard drive. Or, you could post fles to a server and create a "reference" file that is small enough to be sent as an email attachment that plays the uploaded data on someone else's computer as long as they are connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, for these reference files to work, all of the resources referenced within the file must continue to exist in their proper locations in order to be found and played by the reference. Since you did not indicate what "but they won't play" really means here or how you actually "moved" your iPhoto library files to the external drive, I can only make some "educated guesses" at this point. (BTW: for future reference, iPhoto has a built-in function that allows you to copy your library to one or more back-up locations and then connect to them by default when iPhoto opens or switch source libraries at will within the opened application.)
    If you created reference files and saved them to an external drive, you should be getting an error message telling you the app needs to know where the source files are located so the reference file can re-connect to the resource data. If the original files were also saved, then simple navigate to the source files in oder to tell the app where they are now located. If the source files were deleted as part of the reformatting process, then you are up the proverbial creek whithout a paddle with little or no hope of doing anything about this issue. (I.e., reformatting and then re-installing a system drive usually means you would have little hope of recovering the specific "lost" data you want as there is always a good chance that some of the data segments were overwritten during the process.)

  • How to share a video from iPhoto

    When I drag a video from iPhoto to my desktop or to an email, it opens in real player but plays audio only.

    Try open it it in QuickTime instead. Does that help?

  • Deleted videos from iphoto but they are still showing up in the finder?

    I deleted all of my videos from iPhoto and moved them to an external hard drive because I wanted to free up some space on my MacBook Air.  The files are no longer visible in the iPhoto application, but for some reason, when I look at the storage space on my computer, it is still showing that I have 8GB of movies on my computer.  If I search in the Finder, it is showing that a lot of these videos that I deleted from iPhoto are still in a "Masters" folder in iPhoto.  I am confused, though, because if I open iPhoto, the videos are not in there.  I want these video files to be deleted for good - can I just go in to the "Masters" folder in the Finder and delete them there?  I've read not to delete anything from iPhoto in the Finder, though. So, getting very frustrated because I'm not sure why these files aren't fully deleted off my computer. Any suggestions?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.
