About MOV to WebM (VP9)
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, common for ProRes and H.264 camera files with AAC sound. WebM re-encodes the picture to VP9 with Opus audio for direct browser playback without QuickTime paths. Both containers support an alpha channel, so transparent overlays map across where present. Some codecs inside need transcoding before the browser preview opens, which the converter handles during import. Apple editors accept the result unevenly, so keep the MOV master for editing and use the new file for sharing.
Why convert MOV to WebM (VP9)?
- Smaller files with WebM lossy compression.
- Keep animation and transparency where supported.
- Private, no upload - runs in your browser.

Limits
Starting point: MOV - QuickTime camera files with ProRes or H.264. Some codecs inside need transcoding before browser playback. Apple editors accept it unevenly; keep MP4 for editing round-trips. Encode WebM (VP9 / Opus) from MOV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
