hello all you droid experts. i went to the lake and caught some fish this weekend. i took some short  videos with my phone. now when i try to email the video or "Share" the video, it says that the file is too big. it doesn't ask me if i want to shrink the file so i can send it so......can i shrink the file and send it in an email? thanks in advance.

Thanks Ann154 for that feedback and suggestion!

 

Deerhunter1, I can understand how frustrating that is.  I just recently experienced that exact same issue!  It was because the video file was too large for me to send either by MMS (picture/video message), or by email.  You may be able to send to another device via Bluetooth, giving your device gives you that option.  You can also hard wire sync the file to your computer using your USB cable.  The subject line says your device is a droid global phone.  Below I am including a link for transferring picture & video files from a Droid 2 Global phone to a computer.  The link will actually be for transferring music files, however, the concept is the same.

Are you sure you are not trying to send the file through mms? You shouldn't need to reduce the file size when sending via email. That is unless it is just huge! Like >10mb huge.

BTW you posted in the PDA smartphone device section. While there are some android users posting in this section, you would have gotten better exposure to more android users if you posted in the Android section of this community.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
