Export

  • MOV — video for workflows using Apple applications.

  • WebM — video for compatible browsers and players.

Source files

The editor file picker accepts local video, audio, and image media. Whether a particular file can be processed also depends on the codecs inside its container.

Recommendations

  • Play the file before uploading.
  • Do not make an incompatible file valid by changing its extension alone.
  • If processing fails, transcode the source to MP4 in a video editor.
  • Keep the original until the result has been exported successfully.
