MOVMP4
Turn an Apple QuickTime MOV into an H.264 MP4 that plays and uploads everywhere.
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container — it is what an iPhone or a Mac screen recording hands you by default. MP4 is the near-identical MPEG-4 container that the rest of the world standardized on. Both usually wrap the same H.264 video and AAC audio, which is why converting between them is often just a re-wrap rather than a full re-encode. The reason you convert MOV to MP4 is compatibility: Android devices, Windows machines, older TVs, ad platforms, and plenty of web upload forms accept MP4 without a second thought while balking at MOV. FFmpeg handles the swap, re-encoding to H.264/AAC so the result plays on essentially any device made in the last decade.
Convert MOV to MP4 on the canvas
Drop your file onto a Brainy Canvas board, connect the converter node, and download the result. New accounts get free starter credits — enough for roughly 66 video conversions — with no card required.

Connect the Video Converter
Wire the file into the Video Converter node and select MP4. FFmpeg re-encodes to H.264 video and AAC audio server-side.

Download your MP4
Grab the finished MP4 from the node, or pipe it into another step to trim, caption, or publish it.
