Understanding MOV vs MP4
About MOV
MOV is Apple's proprietary QuickTime file format. It can contain multiple video tracks, timecodes, subtitle streams, and Apple ProRes or HEVC footage.
About MP4
MP4 is an international standard based on the QuickTime file format, but designed for universal interoperability across diverse hardware and operating systems.
When to Use MOV vs MP4
Use MOV when editing on Final Cut Pro or working in ProRes. Convert to MP4 when sharing videos with colleagues on Windows/Android, uploading to social platforms, or sending via email.
