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.

Why flip video to MOV

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It was born in wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting video to MOV lose quality?

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.

Will the MOV file be bigger or smaller than my video?

It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.

Where will the MOV file play?

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.

How long does video to MOV conversion take?

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.
