Videos recorded on iOS device are far too large to be attached to emails, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail or else. Compressing a video for an email has always been a challenge for iPhone iPad users. If you want to trim a few seconds from a longer video clip o iPhone, you can perform the edit of video length directly in your Camera Roll. This method can’t transcode the video at lower resolution and/or lower bit rates. You just split the long video into short ones without compression or quality loss. When attaching a video to email, the Mail app on iOS device will automatically compress video by reducing lower resolution and lower bit rates, just like how you can resize or compress photos on iPhone iPad. This however will limit the video length under 60 seconds. If you have a video clip more than a minute, it will error out:
