How do I share a video clip?

[mommy_someday]

We had something exciting happen the other day and managed to catch it on video. I want to share it with you all, but I'm not sure how to attach it. The clip is 22 seconds long and the file size is 1.46 MB. I *think* that's bigger than the allotment for attachments, but if not, can I just attach it? If I can't attach it for whatever reason, where online can I find a place to upload the video and then share the link with everyone? What's the easiest free site? Hope this makes sense.

TIA!

I'm assuming that your video is already in digital format, correct?

I've read that you can zip your file and then upload it, but I never got this to work for me.

You can also upload your video to sony image station (kindof like snapfish) and then just share the link. But again I never could get this to work because my video was in the wrong format.

You can also create a video montage at www.onetruemedia.com
Since your only going to be using one clip for the montage, you'll be defeating the purpose, but whatever works right?! :)
Anyhow, it's free and super easy to create and once your done, just shrare the link to it in your post.

Anyhow, I hope this makes sense and that it helps. Good luck!

I just did this the other day when I captured my DD crawling the day after she did it for the first time! I've noticed I can only view it using IE and not mozilla though. Not sure why.
Here's the link to the video, and you can upload your own from that page as well:

Okay, cross your fingers! I hope this works. I tried One True Media and the Sony one, but couldn't seem to figure it out (I'm techno challenged in a big way). TinyPic was super easy - thanks, Margaret!

Here's the link:

Someone please let me know if it works! TIA!

Woo hoo! Congratulations, Lucas! That's great!

Boy our kids grow up so quickly, don't they?!

It works! I don't have the sound turned on (I'm at work - shhh!) That's one cute kid.:-)

You're not kidding!

Hey, at the risk of getting laughed at, how did you actually *view* the clip? When I clicked on the link, it just brought up the page with the URL and two other lines of techno jargon (I forget what they were called). I installed Flash 8, but I can't figure out how to play it. Could you explain it for me and any other techno-challenged people out there? (Where's the blushing smiley when you need one? lol) Thanks, Eileen!

[mommy_someday]

Thanks, Rebecca! :)

[mudder17]

Yes, the code comes up, but you click on the screen to make it play. :)

And hey, I may be technically saavy, but I assure you, I'm challenged in plenty of other ways. ;)

I haven't watched your video yet, but I wanted to say I heard about this new (to me, at least) site called flipclips.com, where you can make a little flip-book of a short video clip. It isn't all that expensive, and I was thinking these would make a great gift for family (especially since your clip captures a milestone!).

Just fyi....

That is wonderful! Thank you for sharing that milestone with us!

For some reason I don't see anything to click on when I bring up this link. I see the 3 lines and the link for the flash 8, but nothing else. Any suggestions? It could be just my computer.

But I wanted to thank the PP for the tiny pic link. I'll have to bookmark that site and keep it for future use....thanks!!!

That is so cute! I wish that we had DD's first steps on video, but, alas, we don't.

Adorable. Thanks for sharing!

[nfowife]

So cute! Congrats on the huge milestone!!

[mamamayi]

That is awesome! How neat that you have it on video!

[mommy_someday]

LOL, that's what I get too! If you want, PM me and I'll just email the clip to you. I really need to take a computer class...sigh. :P

Thanks, Andrie! I will check it out!

And thanks, everyone, for indulging me in my moment of mama pride! :)

[karolyp]

Ok, I got it to work on another computer. Who know what the deal was....but congrats on reaching this milestone (and for catching it on tape). He is such a cutie!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I hope you have your shoes ready because it won't be long before he's all over the place!!! :)
