Hello,
I had taken a video and I have been trying to upload it to my computer, but it keeps saying that the file is corrupted, or that it is not supported. What can I do to fix this? I need the video to be uploaded as it is for a friend. Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jessica

Ah, the movie recording format that the Rebel T7 uses is "MOV".
Apple's QuickTime for Windows may work (see this Support Article). Though that article came out for Windows 7, so not sure. There may be other Windows software that would exist to work with ".MOV" files.
If you phone is an iPhone, unfortunately one cannot sync ".MOV" files from cameras as yours. Very ironic since ".MOV" is Apple's own format. My guess is that Android or other phones would not support this either. So the only way to get the video to your phone would be to first get it imported to your computer, then export it to a format compatible with your phone (e.g. H.264 or MPEG-4 which typically has file extensions of .m4v, .mp4 respectively).

I have a T7 and it takes a certain card for videos. Speed Class 6 is stated; page five of the manual

so do you think that because it is the wrong sd card, that i won't be able to get the video off of this sd card at all?

Hello, Jessica.
Are you saying the file will not copy from your camera or SD card to your computer, or that it will not play once on your computer?
I'm assuming the latter because I have never had issues copying or moving MOV files from my various DSLR's to any of my Windows 10 computers or playing/editing them. Even DPP 4 will play them, and the one I just tested in DPP 4 was from a Rebel T4i from 2014.
I have my MOV files set to play in Windows Media Player, but they will also play in VLC Media Player, Windows Movie and TV, and DPP 4.
If you can copy them to your system, try "right clicking" the MOV file and selecting "Open with", to see what options you have. You should at the very least have Windows Movie and TV. If this isn't set up to run or open a particular file type, you may get the error you described.
