How to reduce file size of video so it can be e mailed

I uploaded the 1.5minute video from the phone to the Mac mini 2014, used the deleted option after the upload. So, can not send it directly from the phone. It's too big to e mail from the mac.

What to do?

Much appreciated!

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

export large video from phone I have an Iphone 6s that is 16 GB. I believe the operating system takes up something like 8-9GB itself. I have a very large video that I captured on my phone (1 hour long) that seems to take up all available space on the phone. There is a 5 minute clip that I want out of this video. Here are the things I've tried 1) I am unable to "trim" the video to a desired length to take a relevant part out. It's likely because there isn't enough space to create the clip. 2) Tried to delete every single other application on the phone to make room. This did not help as it wasn't enough. The only thing on this phone that is installed is the default apps and the 1 video. 3) I am also unable to Airdrop the video or send the video to any other device. Is there anyway I can get the video off of the phone to somewhere that I can trim the relevant clips out?

You can mail it from the Mac. In the "Account Information" tab of Mail's Accounts preference, enable "Send large attachments with Mail Drop".

Mail Drop stores the file on an Apple server. The recipient will get a link to click to get the file.

Great ~ what is "mail drop"? Do instructions need to be given to the recipient?
