If you want your videos to look their best, do not send them from your iPhone via email or iMessage. Here's why.
When you're shooting a video, your camera app creates a very big chunk of data. Your phone looks at this file giant and said: "Hey, it is too big and may cause problems." I do not want to tell this guy that I can not send it because who will make him unhappy. So I will try to reduce its size by throwing the details".
Okay, it can not be that friendly. But the results are the same. Your phone is trying to make the files smaller and more capable of sending so that neither you, nor your recipient will have to contend with a huge file via a 3G shit connection somewhere. Your phone does not ask you that if you want to throw away from details, it does just that on its own. But the end result is always the same: chunky, video block.
The solution is to use a backup service and send it directly from this app. You can install something to automatically backup your photos and video - Dropbox and Google + are all two fine choices. They must devote each photo and video, you take full resolution to the internet. Do not think that these backups, or social networks. Just think of them as simple ways to store and share things.
Then try this: instead of starting from your photos app and share them via email or iMessage, start in your storage application itself and share directly to him. Yes, you will be essentially sends a link to a person, rather than a file. But that's okay, because then they get a link with all the details of the original. And if you start in the application, rather than in your photos folder, do only a few taps to share something with someone. You can even grab a link and send it on iMessage, if you're really into this kind of thing.
However do you, if you want people to see details, send a link to a file, not the file itself. In simple terms: share the link or share the blur.
