In reply to Mike Bravo. Thanks Mike. I'm glad this worked for you. I haven't come across this approach before and will be interested to see if it works for others.

what a pain in the ass and impractical.
However this is the solution !..
Went through all the “solutions” on a gang of different sites.. from the browser to PHP increase to all the different file channel inputs, to unplugging plugins, uninstalling themes.. Nada. Turns out it is the as of WordPress 3.5, GD has been abstracted out into WP_Image_Editor, and Imagick has been made the default image manipulation engine. IMagick being the problem for some reason. This plugin is what ended up working like a charm for me:

“Default to GD” plugin..The plugin is at GitHub not in the WP download directory. https://github.com/getsource/default-to-gd

In reply to Andre van der Merwe. Deactivating Wordfence also worked for me. Thanks for the tip!

Here is what worked for me when uploading images to [my website]…
1. Deactivate all plugins (All of Them)
2. Upload your video files.
3. Reactivate all plugins.

I could have troubleshooted the site and deactivated one plugin at a time, but I didn’t have time for that. I’m sure that the offending plugin will still cause a problem in the future, but this was the fastest workaround. Hope this helps someone.

This solution may helps but it didn’t help me.
My website needed a PHP update to the (actual) latest versione (7.0.25): you can do the update by yourself or contacting your web hosting 🙂
