In today’s fast-paced world, communication is key. And what better way to communicate than through the magic of video? But, as an iPhone user, you might have encountered the age-old problem: how to send long videos on iPhone? Fear not, for I am here to guide you through the process with wit, wisdom, and a touch of humour.
We’ve all been there: you’ve captured the perfect video of your cat playing the piano, your child’s first steps, or your friend’s hilarious dance moves. But when you try to share it with the world, you’re met with the dreaded “Video Too Long” message.
It’s enough to make you want to throw your iPhone out the window (but please don’t; those things are expensive).
So, why does this happen? Well, it’s all about file size. iPhones have a limit on the size of files that can be sent via text or email, which is usually around 25MB. This means that if your video is longer than a few minutes, you’ll need to find an alternative method to share it. But fear not, for there are several solutions to this modern-day dilemma.
One way to send long videos on iPhone is to compress them. This can be done using various apps and tools, which will reduce the file size without sacrificing too much quality.
Some popular options include:
These apps will allow you to adjust the resolution, bitrate, and other settings to make your video more manageable. Remember that the more you compress, the lower the quality. So, it’s essential to balance file size and video quality.
If compressing your video doesn’t do the trick, there are other ways to share your masterpiece with the world. Here are some popular options:
Services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and iCloud allow you to upload large files and share them with others via a link. This is a great option for sending long videos, as there is no need to worry about file size limits. Plus, it’s as easy as pie (and who doesn’t love pie?).
If you’re looking to share your video with a wider audience, social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter allow you to upload and share videos directly. Just be aware of each platform’s video length and size restrictions.
The classic video-sharing platform, YouTube, is another excellent option for sharing long videos. Upload your video, set the privacy settings to your liking, and share the link with your friends and family.
If you’re sending a video to another Apple user, AirDrop is a quick and easy solution. This feature allows you to send files directly between Apple devices without needing an internet connection. Just make sure both devices have AirDrop enabled and are within close proximity.
WeTransfer is a user-friendly file-sharing service that allows you to send up to 200 GB of large files. To send a video using WeTransfer, simply visit wetransfer.com on your iPhone’s Safari browser, click the “+” icon to add your files, and follow the on-screen instructions to send your video.
iMessage has a higher file size limit than standard text messages, allowing you to send videos up to 100MB. However, this still may not be enough for very long videos.
Yes, compressing a video will reduce its quality to some extent. It’s important to find a balance between file size and video quality when compressing.
In conclusion, sending long videos on an iPhone may seem like a Herculean task, but it’s entirely possible with the right tools and methods. Whether you choose to compress your video, use cloud storage services, or share via social media, there’s a solution out there for you. So, go forth and share your video masterpieces with the world!
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
