How to Send a QuickTime Video by Email

QuickTime videos use the MOV format and contain both audio and video tracks. You can send a QuickTime video by email as an attachment. Many email programs have restrictions on the size of file that they can send and receive. If you have a file larger than 5 MB, reduce the file size in QuickTime Player 10 before you send your QuickTime video to avoid email problems.

Instructions

1. Open the video in QuickTime Player.

2. Go to the “File” menu and scroll down to “Save As.”

3. Set the name and save location for the file. Change the “Format” to “HD 480p.”

4. Open your email client or webmail. Open a new message.

5. Fill out the address and subject line of the email. Click the attachment button. Use the on screen navigation window to locate your QuickTime video and add it to the email. Press “Send.”
