If you get that message then you can't send it via email - probably a limitation size set by your email provider.


I don't have a Mac or use iPhoto so I can't help with that.

Lyssa is correct, most email providers only allow for attachments up to 10mb in size.


You could add the video to iphoto sharing and send a link to the folder with your friend you are trying to send to. If you don't want to share by iCloud you could always use a free online service to send your videos. I have used Securely Send - http://www.securelysend.com whenever I need to email videos.
