I recently took a video on my iPhone and immediately imported it to Photos on my MacBook. Once it was in Photos, I exported it to my desktop and deleted the original from Photos. Now I cannot access it no matter what I try :( I have tried syncing it back onto my phone, but I get an error message that says it "cannot be played on my iPhone," even though it is the same iPhone that I took the video on. Can anyone help me access this video??
 

now i see it

Get it in your iPhone and download a video converter app and re encode it
