Upload your file or select an URL to convert the file. There is a lot of math going on here, so grab a coffee and wait. This free MOV converter lets you convert videos to the Apple Quicktime MOV format. It’s going to take a few minutes, depending on how big your video is. If you have an Intel Mac, you will now hear your cooling fans getting to work. In Terminal, in the folder with your exported videos, enter the following command ffmpeg -i "movie-prores.mov" -c:v libvpx-vp9 movie-webm.webm Once there, cd into the folder with the source video. It’s a command-line tool, so you’ll need to open Terminal on your Mac.

If you’re not sure how to put FFmpeg in your path, see this video tutorial for an end-to-end tutorial. Install the latest version of ffmpeg here. Installing ffmpegįirst, we’ll need an app that can convert between video formats. We now have 50% of the videos we need, so we’re half way there! Next up, we’ll convert that ProRes video to VP9 so Chrome has something to play as well.
If it doesn’t support it directly, like Rotato, we’ll need an intermediate format, so choose Apple ProRes4444 and call it movie-prores.mov
#Convert hvc1 video to .mov for mac 720p
In Rotato, 720p is often big enough for a short video. (If you’re using Rotato, here's how to get one) What to exportīefore you do anything, make sure your video isn’t too big, as you’ll be playing it on the web directly. Obviously, the first thing you need is a video with an alpha channel. Now what? You guessed it: We’ll have to provide *both* formats, and let each browser choose. Chrome supports VP9 with alpha, Safari does not.Safari supports HEVC with alpha, Chrome does not.Apple and Safari want to stick to the MPEG standard, so they support HEVC (H265). Google and Chrome think open source is awesome, so they made their own open source format. So why isn’t this simple? Long legal story short: There are two big browsers from two big companies. We’ve had transparent video formats for years. The big question is now: What if the background is not abstract? What if you simply want to play your video on top of rendered html, like in the first example? For that, we need a bigger knife. It works because the background is abstract, and nicely blends in with the site’s own background. So that’s one workaround - smoke and mirrors.
