(RecipientsActivity.java:203) is
ParseFile file = new ParseFile(fileName,fileBytes);
and (RecipientsActivity.java:150) is
ParseObject message = createMessages();
Thanks

3,429 PointsI haven't taken any of the Android courses on Treehouse, but according to this article on IBM's developerWorks, there appears to a file size cap of 10 MB.
Under the Working with files section of the article:
File data is represented by the byte[] syntax. Note that currently, a given file cannot be larger than 10MB.
You'll need to decrease the file size of your video.
