Whatever your camera, screen recorder or download produced, converting that video to MOV gets you a file built for shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue. Flippy reads practically any video format and writes clean MOV: codecs, containers and all the fiddly parts handled for you.
A classic video to MOV job: camera clips, screen recordings and downloads, bound for Apple-side editing, where it is the house format.
Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It comes from wherever your camera, screen recorder or download made it.
MOV is Apple's homebody: gorgeous on a Mac, awkward everywhere else. The QuickTime container; often H.264 or HEVC, sometimes heavyweight editing codecs like ProRes. That makes it the right destination when what you need is shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue.
Drop your video file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: MOV is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new MOV.
Settings guidance for any video file to MOV: keep H.264 inside for anything you plan to share; ProRes belongs in edit suites, not in files headed to other people. Flippy handles the codec choices, so the only real decision was picking MOV.
| video | MOV | |
|---|---|---|
| Born | wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from | 1991, Apple's QuickTime team |
| Type | video · any format | video · container |
| Best for | any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads | shooting and editing on Apple hardware, where it's the native tongue |
| Weak spot | nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks | traveling: Windows, Android and the web would all rather meet an MP4 |
| Typical size | anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings | frequently huge: camera and ProRes MOVs can run to gigabytes per minute |
| Plays on | Depends on the container and the codec inside it. | Mac and iPhone natively; elsewhere it depends on the player's mood. |
Flippy always picks the gentlest path: container swaps and extractions copy your streams untouched, and re-encodes happen once, at quality matched to the source.
It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.
Mac and iPhone natively; elsewhere it depends on the player's mood. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: MOV simply opens in more of the places that matter.
It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
