I'm assuming you're trying to send it via text or MMS. A better option is to upload the video to Google Photos, DropBox, YouTube or another service and send someone a link - that way they get full resolution and the entire video. Many videos can also be shared in social media apps, like Facebook and Google+.

All of the options above can be kept private. The issue is MMS protocols and how devices manage them. For every MMS message, there are three potential limiters to file size that prevent large files from being sent via MMS. Those limiters are 1. the device 2. the carrier and 3. the app you're using. Whatever has the smallest max size will be the limiter for your message. For example, if your device allows 4 MB and your texting app allows 1 MB but your carrier only allows 300 KB, 300 KB is going to be the largest file you can send. In some cases you can compress the video (this is probably what your S2 did) but videos, especially HD and FHD videos, are enormous.

I believe MetroPCS still has a 495KB total size limit. Email the pictures or, as Assassin Droid said, post them in a public cloud folder and text or email the links.
