iphone video email limit

Ah...Apple doesn't have anything to do with the email attachment limit, such is solely determined by your carrier if using their network or your ISP if using WiFi.

Believe whatever you want, & good luck in solving your problem yourself.

No, you're not overlooking anything. There are some apps that allow you to attach longer video files on the App Store (none that I actually use, but a quick search turned up Video Email). Although, an even better way would be to use a file sharing service like Dropbox, and email a link to the video; that way, you don't even have to worry about the attachment size limit.

the file size has nothing to do with it according to apple advisor I spoke to at support. We has concluded that the iOS4 limits video clips that can emailed to 54 seconds long. No matter the size of the file. take a 720p video and and export your imovie at the highest quality then try to email it. Mail will trim the clip to 54 seconds every time regardless of file size or length. As long as your video is 54 seconds or shorter, mail will not ask you to cut the video down to be emailed or sent to mobile me. the guy I spoke to at apple support has sent a letter to apple engineers about this issue and is going to call me back in a few days about it so I will post whatever answers I get. I emailed myself a video done with imovie app and it was 107mb but was exactly 53 seconds long, and it went through without asking me to cut it. I went back and changed one transition to 2 seconds longer making the video 55 seconds and it had to be cut. After cutting the video and emailing it to myself it showed up as 54 seconds long and 105 MB.

Thanks for checking this out, I have the same issues. I hope apple engineers will increase the limits on the video clips so we can allowed to email at least more than 2 minutes clips.

I actually used DropBox app in my 3GS iphone, and it allowed me to upload my video clips taken with my 3GS camera, a couple of those clips were almost 3 minutes long. Although it took a while for DropBox to prepare the files for uploading (took several minutes), and several more minutes to actually upload it into my DropBox account to share with family, it worked.

Now I'm about to share those files with my family and I'll see if they can access it fine. I think if I can upload it, I should be able to share it.

Lots of ignorance on these apple forums. Per usually people act like religious fanatics and treat you like a heretic if you try to think outside the Apple box. I tried asking about jb once and was treated pretty poorly and told a bunch of information that turned out to be completely untrue.

Two ways I know of to send larger videos. Gmail has a filesize limit of 25mb so that's your actual size limit, but apple email client won't let you send anything longer than 52 seconds or larger than 15mb(i think). However you can use video compressor (by Jin jeon) to compress to 25mb which usually still looks good and then

use Joya video app which allows larger attachments

Or if you're jailbroken use ifile (also allows you to see file system which is wonderful) to send any kind of file.

Hope this helps

Joya seems finicky tho. Probably Dropbox or jb are your only two options.

OK I found a good non jailbroken workaround

1) use video compressor (by Jin jeon) to compress video to file size 25mb or less

2) download Inbox by Gmail (not regular gmail app)

3) sign in and attach compressed video

Works good for me
