In this tutorial, you will learn Ways to Compress Video Files for E-mail.

This includes three different approaches: Create a ZIP, use iMovie, or Share a Link.

Let's take a look the first approach: ZIP files are basically a compressed archive that you need to uncompressed before accessing it. This however, makes the file much smaller and easier to email. To do this, right click on a video that you have and click "Compress File".

Most Mac devices now come with iMovie, the free movie editing tool from Apple. With iMovie, you can shorten your video and only send a part of it, obviously decreasing the size of the file. Let's take a quick look:

Open iMovie and click on the arrow in the top left of the menu bar. Choose the file you want to import on your computer and click on “My Movie”. Select the portion of the video you want to use and click “+” (Add the section to the movie).

To export, click “File - Share - Email” and choose “Small” to decrease the file size. This will then open the mail app with a blank email to compose.

For the third option, we can use Mail Drop. Mail Drop doesn't make the files smaller, in fact it just gives you an option to send the big file in an email. To do this, simply attach the file to the email and send it. The mail.app will then ask if you want to use mail drop to send the attachement. This will send an email to the recipient with a link to download the file from.

These are three quite different approaches to sending video over email. We hope you'll find one of these useful to your workflow.
