About the formats
QuickTime movie
MOV is Apple’s QuickTime container, common straight off iPhones and Macs. It preserves high quality and is excellent for editing, though files run larger than MP4.
Strengths

- Supports multiple tracks and metadata
Limitations
- Large files
- Less universal than MP4
- Can need conversion for Windows/web
Best for: Editing footage from Apple devices before exporting to a smaller shareable format.

Strengths

Limitations
