Accessing video clips

sm

I am new to Pythonista. Is there any way to access video clips (.mov files) recorded on iphone from pythonista? The photos.get_count() function returns the count including the video clips but photos.get_image() function fails for video clips. Is there any other module to read ".mov" files?

The "CaptureMedia" mentioned in the article seems to be for a different purpose altogether. What I am looking for is a way to read ".MOV" files in iPhone's "Camera Roll". (The "photos" module reads ".JPG" files but does not read ".MOV" files in the "Camera Roll")

That's exactly what it does. There is no bui,t in way to get movies from the camera role into pythonista. Capture media lets you 'upload' from camera roll to a we server hosted on your iDevice, basically it should do what you want.
