No video when emailing video clip?

I took a video on my iPhone and want to email it to a friend. I did download it to my desktop iMac. Here are the things I've already tried.
1.  I edited the clip in iPhoto and tried to email it from there, but that is not supported.
2.  I then exported the clip to the desktop, drug the file to my email and it was completely blank (no video or sound).
3.  I imported it into iMovie, trimmed the clip, finished the project & then shared it to the media browser. I opened a new email, added the file from the media browser, and I have sound and a still picture.
4.  I've exported as a quicktime project and the clip plays in quicktime fine, but when I go to email it I have a still photo with sound.
Please, what am I doing wrong?
Kristy
I have iPhoto '11 & iMovie '11

Still thinking about it Kristy - not sure of the solution yet.
As a test, I just dragged a movie clip from iTunes onto the Desktop. The clip was sent to me by my daughter and was taken on her iPhone 4. I dragged the clip into a new message in Mail and it plays perfectly.
So, I'm not sure what's happening with your system. What email program are you using (I'm on Apple Mail)? As the movie clip plays fine in QuickTime, possibly it's the email app that's causing the problem. Can you try using a different program?

  • Missing plugin when emailing video

    Hi
    I tried to email a video i recorded in photobooth. However when mail opens i get a 'missing plugin' message in the mail instead of the video? I read elsewhere that this could be to do with Java preferences?
    Anyone encountered this, and found a solution?
    Thanks

    What kind of video is it?

  • WHY is iMovie cropping 640x480 MPEG4 video when I drag clip to project?????

    I don't think I am trying to do anything fancy.
    My Sanyo camera takes VGA resolution video in MPEG-4. When I start iMovie '09 it asks me if I want to import the clip once I pop the SDRAM card in the USB slot. OK. I import the clip. iMovie checks for stabilization. Fine. After the clip is imported I run it and it looks fine.
    I create a project and select standard aspect ratio. I select a clip from the imported video and drag it to the project window. The clip appears but I lose about 30% of the frame area around the frame because it's been cropped by iMovie.
    I check HELP and locate the Project Properties... menu item and under "Timing" I set Initial Video (and Photo) placement to "Fit in frame". I click OK and retry placing a new clip in the project - SAME PROBLEM. I test an exported clip and the clipping is really there in the exported video clip.
    The control settings in iMovie '09 do not seem to work with cropping control. Is there a rather large bug in iMovie or did I miss something obvious? It's just a 640 x 480 video. I would have thought it would be amongst the most common frame sizes aside from 320 x 240 outside of mobile phone video clips.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Mike

    aaaaaah, what a relief! I thought I had unwittingly messed up some weird setting. I have to say iMovie is not really geared to the layman. I would never have guessed zooming had anything to do with stabilization.
    AppleMan1958, thank you so much! That fixed it completely!!! Now I can send off my video clip and go to bed!

  • Error message when emailing videos?

    I'm getting this error message everytime I email a video from my phone. Is anyone else recieving this message. Keep in mind I get it even after I have trimmed the video. It's really frustrating because I can never send out iPhone taken video clips.

    There are well documented (in this forum) issues with sending videos via Yahoo mail. For example:
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=yahoo&objID=f1333&dateRange =last90days&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
    If your problem is while using Yahoo, try another email approach (e.g., Gmail). If not, please provide additional detail.

  • Event library 1 hour limit on video when imported videos are longer

    In my event library, none of my events are more than 1 hour in length, and the video after the 1 hour mark is unavailable. When I import the event it says "87 minutes imported" or however long the clip is, yet only the first hour can be viewed, added to project etc. They are not all exactly 1 hour, some are 58 or 59 minutes, and the longest is 1:00:54 long. It is frustrating because I'm trying to import football games to make highlights, so I'm missing a lot of matches. Why is this happening/how can I access the footage in each event after the 1 hour mark? Please help me!

    Rodrigo,
    We seem to be able to "stream" (progressively download) videos over 35 minutes on PCs, but not on Macs. Without more input from Apple, we don't really have any clue as to what is responsible for this problem. We had considered breaking the files into several parts to take advantage of the streaming capability, but we have decided to just have our students download the entire files if need be, since the only users affected are Mac users.
    I'm just now testing to see if there is a duration limit on streaming files over the PC. After a little playing around, I think there might be a limit to the PC's streaming capabilities as well. I'll update this thread with any discoveries.
    But from what I can see, you should be able to stream files over the PC. How much bandwidth does your school have?

  • Can't see video when select video call on iphone 6

    I have a iphone 6 version iOS 8.2 with skype app version 5.10, all functions works fine but video call. the icon of video call on the iphone doesn't respond (it stays blue when you click it and no video shows up), camera was turned on in setting also under privacy, I can use camera to take my photo for screen photo, that means the camera was setting correctly, When I use finger to cover camera on the phone, the whole screen becomes black so I think the camera is working, but only video call doesn't work, can anyone help? Thanks a lot in advance.

    As Meg St._Clair said in another thread - we are seeing a slew of issues from AT&T's VoLTE feature so much so that if someone is on AT&T and has a calling issue - that is the first piece of advice to try
    I am glad you had a happy ending and thanks for taking the time to post - it certainly helps
    I am surprised though they kept running tests after your SIM did not work in a Samsung phone - I would have considered swapping it out at that point - ah well!

  • VIEWING VIDEO AND EMAILING VIDEO

    Anyone hear of an upgrade or an application to view video's or send video's over the Iphone? How about an application to view wmv files? Thanks

    Hi Jonathan,
    Welcome to the forums.
    QuitTime Player focusses on video playback, it's not made or intended to play flash files. Flash is a format made by Adobe; It's a proprietary format. Witch means it need a special program, made to specifically play flash files.
    make sure you installed the latest version of adobe flash player installed. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=FlashPlayer_10.1_for_Mac_OSX
    after downloading the file, you need to double click on the file and run the installer. The installer will want you to quite safari; before it will install flash.
    After installing adobe flash, restart your computer and verify your computer recognized adobe l flash player is installed.
    you can do this by going to. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    if flash is installed, you should get a message like, "You have version 10,1,102,64 installed"
    If you still cannot view google street or youtube. you could try resetting safari:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Safari/3.0/en/9300.html
    and reseting DNS cashe using a program like DNS flusher.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/networking_security/dnsflusher.html
    just download the program, copy it to applications, and double click it to run.
    good luck!

  • Crashes, graphics glitches, and more crashes when editing video clips

    Can't for the life of me figure out why PE keeps crashing on me, so I'm here for help.
    My system consists of a i7-970 hexacore, 6GB ram, 1x 500GB os drive, 3x500gb raid 0 drives (this is where my video clips are stored), 2x GeForce GTX460 video cards.
    OS is Windows 7 Profressional 64 bit.
    The video files I work with are generally in the 50-200GB size.
    A little background - the videos that I am working with are recordings from Battlefield Bad Company 2 that I have recorded with some capture software called Dxtory.
    I record at 1920x1080 at 60 FPS to avi files.  The avi files are using the "xtor" codec (Dxtory's own codec)
    [ISFT]    DxtoryCore ver2.0.0.101
    [ISRC]    Video:YUV420 Audio:Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
    Audio is PCM 192000Hz recorded in stereo.
    Let me start by saying I have not had trouble with this before until I started recording the videos at 60 FPS.  30 FPS worked ok (some crashes here and there, but they were bearable), but the frequent crashes started happening when I started working with the 60 FPS videos, done mainly so I could play around with slowing the clips down, etc.
    Sometimes I can open and edit clips just fine.
    Recently, a project that I'm working on is crashing when I try putting two different clips from different files together on the time line.  I managed to get it to work once, and saved the project after that.  Then, PE crashed randomly and when trying to reopen the project, it just crashes and won't let me get any further.
    I should mention the graphics glitches as well - occasionally (especially when previewing video clips before adding them to the timeline) after I close the preview window, the graphics in PE will glitch out, causing random lines to appear in certain areas, graphics to stack on top of eachother and freeze up, and sometimes I can click on the "play" button in the main project window and hear everything start playing, but the graphics are completely screwed up to the point where I can't view the video or hit the pause button.
    All of my computer hardware is fine, all drivers, and PE, are up to date.
    Can someone please help me figure out what is going on?  I'll be happy to provide any more information that might help out.

    The most likely issue is the codec that your program is using the create your video. It's apparently not compatible with Premiere Elements.
    This often happens also when people try to record their on-screen video with FRAPS.
    You'll see lots of discussions on this issue in the Premiere Pro forum. However, it's even more pronounced in Premiere Elements, which is designed to work almost exclusively with camcorder video.
    Some video programs are a little more versatile with this type of video. Some people have found Corell's Video Studio better at handling these non-traditonal formats.
    But I did a Google search on Dxtory editing and couldn't find any information on it.
    Sorry I can't offer a solution. But I can pretty much assure you that Premiere Elements isn't it. sorry.

  • How can i fix a clip when the video and audio are not matching up?

    How can i fix a clip when the video and audio are not matching up? I imported the video from a junkdrive in a .VOB format and concerted to a .mov the videos were filmed on a miniDVD recorder.

    I would try detaching the audio and the dragging the audio to the left or right until it lines up.

  • When I select a sound email or video, decide I want to go to another video or email, the sound from the first video continues to completion before I can listen to my new selection. How can I stop this?

    How do I stop the sound from a video or email when I want I click out of the video. Presently, the sound continues and I have to escape out to home screen to stop it.

    Now as you may know there is some icons at the bottom of the mail app, at the top left conner you should have the inbox button and on the upper right conner you should have two arrows to shift between emails. If any of those options works try :
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings
    If that does not work try to re add the account
    Last but not least, restore as new.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to see when a video clip was shot?

    I imported a couple of projects from iMovie HD. iMovie HD would usefully show the date a clip was taken.
    (There's "Playhead Info", but that shows the date of import - today!
    I have all these old movie clips with no way to see when the video was shot. Where can I see a clip's date in '08?

    Correction to original post: the Playhead Info doesn't show the date imported into iMovie 08, it shows the date imported from the camera into iMovie HD. Still completely useless!
    I swear iMovie HD showed the date & time the footage was shot.
    Oddly, I have one movie event showing the correct date, shot in 2000. All the other videos from 2004-2006 show 2007 as the date! I have no idea what is different about the two unless I used an even older iMovie to originally read the 2000 footage from tape.
    I still have the tapes so I can try importing one of the 2004 tapes into '08 to see if it gets the date correct.

  • Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?

    Hi -
    I have a simple Encore(CS5 Mac) project that is that is "stalling" when played.  
    The content of the DVD is made from an After Effects(CS5.5 Mac) project so I think I should provide information on that.  The 30sec AE project is mostly timeline animation until the last 6 seconds which is video footage.   The 7 second video clip is scaled way down from it's original dimensions and then masked off to fit in an area of the AE stage.
    I rendered the AE project to a QT MOV with No compression.  In this format it was a very large file (939MB) but it played flawlessly in Quicktime on my desktop.
    Then I brought that MOV into Encore as a timeline, added a one button menu,  and burned a DVD. 
    The prpoject plays fine until that video comes on. At that instant - the picture freezes for a few seconds - then plays for a second and then freezes again.  It does this stop and go until the video ends and then the DVD returns to the simple opening menu.
    It seems to choke at the same time each time I replay it but I can't be 100% sure.  It's almost as if the disc actually stops spinning.
    Why would the DVD freeze when the video content of my DVD project played?  What can I do to fix this?
    TIA some expert advice.

    While I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
    I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
    Good luck,

  • How to email video clips?

    I have made a short video on iMovie. Right now the video is ready in the upper left section of iMovie. If I were to make a dvd, I would click SHARE to iDVD, but I would like to email the video to a client, rather than make a dvd. What is the best way to email video clips to a client?
    Thanks

    *best practice* :
    • 'share' your Project to YouTube
    • mail the URL to that YT-video to client
    => you avoid problems with size (=video is huge)/Bandwidth probs, and 'formats' (=YT is by sheer popularity 'standard'). You can set your Video at YT to 'Private', so only your client is able to watch it. meanwhile, YT allows superb quality ..-
    not-so-good practice:
    under Share, Export using Quicktime and the following Option-dialogs allow tons of options to convert and 'shrunk' the video. depending on, what your IP allows about mail-attachement's sizes, you can play with the 'knobs' format/codec, frame-rate, size, to make the video small enough - for the price of quality and compatibility. ex, Windows users often have problems with h264.mov ...
