I made an 18 minute video which is too big to move off my iPhone - now what do I do

How do I reduce the size of the video to move it to another device or to send it via email, dropbox, etc

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?

Help needed to download 1:53min video from iphone 12 to PC 2 days ago I downloaded a 1 hour 55mins video to my PC without issues using imazing. Yesterday, I repeated the process - I came straight into the house to download it and had issues straight away. This was s slightly shorter video at 1 hour 53 video and it get doesnt seem to fully download onto my files (local, bot cloud based) and Im not able to view it. I have updated imazing to latest version and tried 5 times. I cant see it in icloud so its not there. I left icloud syncing on over night but its still not there. I can view the video on my iphone. Please can someone help? This is a really important video and I need to submit it fast for a course. Thank you. Iphone is 12, version 16.5.1 and about to update now to latest ios.

Use iMazing for exporting it to your computer, trial is enough for just 1 video. Then use Dropbox/Google Drive/etc. to put it in the other device if needed.

Use AirDrop to transfer the video to your Mac. There is no file size limitation. You will need to activate AirDrop on both devices and the devices must be no greater than 30 feet apart.
