MOV files from an iPhone or Final Cut are among the heaviest around. A short 4K clip alone can top several hundred megabytes, and sending one over chat often forces a conversion that breaks playback on Windows. Drop it into UploadWings to share the original, untouched, with a single link.
MOV is Apple's high-quality container, so files tend to be even larger than the equivalent MP4. A short 4K iPhone clip can already exceed several hundred megabytes.
Sending a MOV to a Windows user over chat often triggers automatic conversion, which changes the format and can break playback.
ProRes MOV exports from Final Cut Pro can reach tens of gigabytes, far beyond what any inbox will accept.
Typically created in iPhone, Final Cut Pro, QuickTime, Premiere Pro — usually sent by iPhone users and Final Cut editors sharing raw or finished footage.
