MOV Source Editing Guide
How do you work with an iPhone MOV source when the final platform expects a different delivery profile?
Concrete example
Example: a 4K iPhone interview supplied as MOV but delivered to a web portal with a smaller file-size limit.
Reproducible workflow
Keep the original as the editing source, trim and arrange it normally, then use the export file-size estimate and a short test range to choose destination-compatible settings.
Known limitation
The FreeCut 1.3 listing confirms codec controls but does not promise every MOV codec or a dedicated MOV/ProRes delivery preset.
Recommended export settings
Common source container
