Note the following about sending or uploading a video:

• If you create a long video and then edit it to shorten it, the editing processing must be complete before you email, upload, or send the video with a multimedia message. If the process was not complete, the process fails or is incomplete.
• Video files can be large, for example, a 1-minute video can be more than 10MB. Many email providers have limits on how large a file you can send via email. For example, videos may be limited to 3 minutes, or files to 1–2GB. Check with your email provider for the limits that apply.
• Online sites like Facebook have limits on the size of files you can upload.
